Arrived at 1.35 for black tie wedding at 2pm and went to get changed into my dress that husband had packed into the suit carrier. Except he hadn’t actually packed it. Managed to run into Harrogate, tried on the first dress I picked up, walked out wearing it and back at 1.55 for the ceremony.

Very apt that on #WorldKidneyDay I had my first consultation with a renal dietitian to discuss how to lower my currently raised potassium.

Living with CKD is anxiety provoking. Every blood test brings that fear that eGFR has dropped and dialysis and transplant are getting closer. I have polycystic kidney disease so it is a “when” not an “if”…. /6 #worldkidneyday #dontkidyourself

It’s #worldkidneyday today. As someone on the cusp of stage 5 CKD (aka kidney failure) I’ll be sharing my random thoughts of what it’s like to live with it. First of all, it’s bloody exhausting….

Today is World Kidney Day It's important to take care of your kidneys and to be aware of the symptoms of kidney disease. Please share this so others can be aware also. #WorldKidneyDay #KidneysMatter #DontKidYourself
KIDNEY DISEASE

Kidney disease is a journey no one plans nor asks for,
its symptoms are a warning from a damaged or failing system we must never ignore,
over seven million people have it in the UK
and not everyone realises before it's too late;
Kidney disease isn't just caused by a lifestyle decision, 
Sometimes it's inherited but can be a manageable condition,
Better awareness and care can reduce the feelings of despair,
it's your early intervention, not the disease, that will determine your fate.

From Swollen ankles, feet or hands 
to Blood or froth in your wee;
Extra tiredness, shortness of breath, difficulty concentrating and other less obvious symptoms to see,
You may feel or be sick and have persistently puffy eyes or face;
you may notice weight loss or loss of appetite, have itchy skin, discomfort in your lower back, side or abdomen, or need to wee more often,
If you have these symptoms please speak to your GP just in case.

Your kidneys work hard to keep you alive 
by being aware and treating them with care your whole body will thrive,
Kidney disease strikes silently and it won't go away quietly, 
It's incurable but in life there are no guarantees;
Stay hopeful but do what's necessary to heal,   pay attention to your mental health and how your body feels, 
You can do this and you have what it takes, because It takes heart to fight the impact of kidney disease.

Watching the Fred Again/ Thomas Bangalter videos and reminded of the time we turned down tickets to see Daft Punk and LCD Soundsystem as I was a witness at a friends wedding. 17 years later and we no longer speak to them and my husband still hasn't forgiven me.

🧵 Mental Health Nurses’ Day 2026. Mental health nursing is often described in emotive language: compassion, resilience, care. Those things matter. But what often gets missed is the sophistication of the work. #MentalHealthNursesDay #NurseSky #TherapistSky

Started watching ER on Netflix. I absolutely loved it when I was 14 and it probably contributed to me becoming a nurse. Watching it 30+ years later, it’s unbelievably infuriating. The clinical info is garbage at times, the treatment of delirium is horrific and the clinicians are inappropriate.

Ishbel Straker’s career was going from strength to strength when she blew the whistle on another healthcare provider. She says this started what would become a vindictive and malicious campaign to destroy her career by the nursing regulator.

'I think this is as big as the Post Office scandal'
Ishbel Straker was a high-profile healthcare leader when she claims she became the victim of a campaign to ruin her reputation. Now she is hitting back.

The story of Hanukkah is about the Jewish people’s fight for religious freedom. We usually celebrate this as a festival of lights. But lighting my chanukiah tonight felt more like lighting memorial candles than a celebration. May the memory of the Bondi Beach victims be a blessing.

I am still in shock from this mornings attack at Heaton Park shul. People murdered for being Jews, for going to shul on the holiest day of the year. It doesn’t make sense. My heart goes out to their families, those injured, CST, the congregation and the local community.
