Heya Blogland,
Megan and I both made our way to the annual PHA conference
and we had such an amazing time.

The first night I found to be a bit awkward only because Megan
and I don’t really know how to approach people and felt totally out of our comfort
zone. We met Barbara and her lovely husband intitally and they seemed so lovely I'm disappointed we didn't get to chat more but it was a packed weekend. Once me and Meg get talking we are fine but we were so lucky that Kath, Rob and
Anne spotted us in the bar otherwise we would have been wondering round like Lemons for a
while LOL. Megan and I loved meeting
Rob, Kath and Anne they are sooo our type of people which is great because we
thought we might have to stay reserved and reign it in a bit but we felt really
comfortable around them. Then we were joined by Carole and her husband and they
were just as lovely. We then made our way to the buffet and this is where the
conference let me down a little. Now it’s totally nobodies fault but my own but
I am the fussiest eater in history and I just really didn’t like very much of
it at all, although their carrots were quite yummy LOL.
At the dinner I did get to meet up with Julie though who is
a little boy called Kieran’s mum and it was sooo great to see her because I
used to see her and Kieran at Great Ormand Street a few times and me and Kieran
both did a DVD together and it was sooo lovely seeing her and Kieran and her
husband Martyn because it just felt really comfortable because I miss GOSH a
lot and it felt like I got to see a bit of my past and I really enjoyed
chatting to her and catching up. Then we were joined by Bente and her husband
at the table and they were a great addition to the group :-D
The massively long talk in the morning was actually quite interesting
as they were talking about new treatments and what might be available in the
future. I have to admit though me and Meg did get a little bored and may have
engaged in several rounds of hangman. But they did provide me with a very good
word Sexilipeg (probably spelt totally wrong as I actually can’t remember how
to spell it LOL) but that doesn’t matter because Megan totally didn’t get it
:-P
I got to see Sita as well just before the talk who is also waiting for a heart and lung transplant and she seemed lovely. It was so hectic there really wasn't time to talk unless you were in the same things as each other but hopefully we will see each other again :-).

After the really long talk Me, Meg, Kath and Rob all had the
transplantation talk to go to as both me and Kath are both waiting for a Heart
and Lung transplant we thought it was probably beneficial that we went and it was
interesting. They went over most of the stuff I already knew, I did get to meet
a girl who I had never met and I can not remember her name for the life of me
but she is waiting for a double lung transplant and goes to Hammersmith as well
and she seemed really lovely I think she liked meeting other people on the list
as after the talk she got to meet some others as well.

Me and meg clay pidgeon shooting courtsey of Rob :o) |
We had the gala dinner and everyone turned out in their best
it was a great end to the day and i got to meet lynsey and her husband joss :-) but I was so tired normally I have a 2 hour nap
somewhere during the day but over the 2 days I did not so I was shattered. The
hotel was such a pretty place and I would love to go there again maybe golf
next time though LOL. I didn’t take any photos over the few days though which
is so unusual for me but I know we had our photo taken a few times so if I can
get my hands on some of them then I’ll show you them :-].

Sounds like an amazing weekend! Although the thought of Megan with a gun is both hilarious and scary at the same time! LOL!
ReplyDeleteIt was hilarious luckily it was lasers and batteries and not bullets but the guns were real which is why they were so heavy. I'm sure we would have shot someone because we did keep accidentally shooting them LOL xoxo
