I have unfortunately found myself back in hospital with a terrible attack and this has resulted in me needing another neuro surgery to control it.

After being rushed into A and E with a huge attack, I have been taken care of by the amazing Neuro team at QE hospital and today I have an operation to relieve me off my physical torture.
