Group Co-ordinator
Jackie Riseborough
My name is Jackie Riseborough and I've been on TPN for just over 10 years now.
Mine was a complicated reason for being on TPN which resulted in the loss of my entire bowel.
I infuse 5 litres of fluid overnight and even then sometimes have to have an extra litre of saline some days, as I tend to get a little dehydrated due to losing fluid through my gastrostomy - which I understand is quite unique. The gastrostomy is there to allow me to enjoy some foods and drink socially. As I do not absorb anything, what I do eat and drink is lost again through this tube.
Previously I helped run the East Anglia group and have truly benefited from this experience. Having worked with Sylvia Cottee and Tracy Hill in relation to the group I felt it was in good hands for me to spread my wings and take PINNT support to Norwich.
Knowing the benefits of attending a group meeting; I met people who made me feel at home and truly understood how I felt with my condition and feeding, I feel starting a group in Norwich will bring support to more people. I am working with the Nutrition Team at the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital.
I will keep you posted with news and updates from meetings.
