Well, it just goes to show that you can never take anything for granted! Things were going swimmingly recently, very busy and in the flow of creating new prints and ideas for new work, when i get hit by an attack of acute hemolytic anemia! A low hemoglobin count meant that i had to pop into hospital for a few days to get my blood topped up with a blood transfusion and monitoring- (not part of the plan!)
Since being diagnosed with a form of Severe Combined Immunodeficiency about 5 years ago, the anemia is something i have had to accept as part of my life, but with help from a great team of consultants and nurses, I've managed to avoid a hospital admission for about a year, so this latest one came as a bit of a surprise !
I would like thank to the fabulous nursing staff on Shouldham ward at Queen Elizabeth Hospital for all your hard work xx
But it's a slight blip, it's great to be back home and feeling better................with my mind racing with ideas for a new prints!

Oh dear...glad to hear that you are better. Stay well!
Thank you everyone. I have to say, i've been totally overwhelmed by all your lovely wishes and words.
I'm very lucky to have such good support, but i'm sure there are people who suffer from similar illnesses that don't get the help and support they need or deserve. I'm a lucky girl :)
Thank you all again xx
I hope you get back up to your usual manic speed soon, Amanda! Best wishes, PBx
My thoughts are with you. x
i certainly hope you're feeling better.
not sure i would have referred to it as a "slight blip" though.
if you love your work, it can cure anything
So sorry to hear this, hope you are back up and running again very soon. Take good care x
