...and my heart cracked a little hearing her speak.

Love and light to you Magdalen.

She's posted this too.
As it is she can't get better.
Do any medics have any insight?

Get well soon

Magdalen
So very happy to see that photo. You've been in my thoughts. Sending lots of well-wishes and gratitude.

woman11017 · 16/10/2018 22:43

Thanks for the link naivety sent.

QueenCartimandua · 16/10/2018 22:41

I've sent a small amount of money and I'd be up for knitting a blanket square or 2.

FermatsTheorem · 16/10/2018 22:39

Hooray - some good news. Glad to see her looking remarkably good after brain surgery! (And there's something about that bandage that makes me think of a Renaissance Flemish painting. )

woman11017 · 16/10/2018 22:38

like that awesome banner
That's the one I was thinking of That was appliqued and all sorts, a work of art, and very heavy!

naivetyisthenewblack · 16/10/2018 22:38

I know we're not meant to post links directly but maybe MN will make an exception seeing as Magdalen just survived brain surgery.

This is her Paypal: www.paypal.me/MagdalenBerns

You can write a message for her at the same time.

naivetyisthenewblack · 16/10/2018 22:36

(Is that knittable? Craft-ignoramus here)!

naivetyisthenewblack · 16/10/2018 22:35

If it's a blanket can it say something that'll make her smile like "wrong side of history my arse" like that awesome banner?

woman11017 · 16/10/2018 22:32

naivetyisthenewblack probably the paypal's easiest?
Crochet or knit squares for a blanket? Those Leeds Spinners are phenomenal craftswomen, wonder if they've got ideas.

Looking fab, Magdalen. Glad you're still smiling.

Would love to do something to help her... am going to donate - I suppose everything helps - Taxi's, food delivery's, general little luxuries.

So glad to see you got through the surgery!

You are just incredible. Thank you for all you do

deepwatersolo · 16/10/2018 21:28

Great news!

AngryAttackKittens · 16/10/2018 21:26

Wish I was close enough to do the take round food thing, and I hope she has people around her who can provide support in practical ways.

She's looking great! Hopefully this is the last of the surgery.

gendercritter · 16/10/2018 21:25

So relieved to see her looking so well.

If you can survive brain surgery a few aggressive arseholes on Twitter is nothing

nottakingthisanymore · 16/10/2018 21:22

Great picture. What a woman! I proper love her I do!

PissedOffWoman · 16/10/2018 21:17

Magdalen I am so pleased to hear your update. Have been thinking of you every day.

OvaHere · 16/10/2018 20:56

Fantastic news. She is looking great considering.

naivetyisthenewblack · 16/10/2018 20:45

How about we all do something practical to send our love and admiration to Magdalen?

Anyone got ideas?

What if we all send her a little something to get herself whatever she wants - PayPal donation address is on her video in the OP.

And then also something to show her how much we appreciate her - maybe we can all share our favourite video of her's? We'd need a hashtag.

Or - something else? Anyone got any ideas?

woman11017 · 16/10/2018 20:38

Update here. Brilliant picture.

Magdalen sending you best of luck for your treatment. So many of us are thinking of you and cheering you on. You have made a difference to so many women!

quietbutdetermined · 13/10/2018 21:43

You are an inspiration Magdalen. Wishing you a positive outcome and a speedy recovery.

horizonglimmer · 13/10/2018 20:22

Damn right she should be proud of the life she has lived so far.

She's one of life's heroic figures.

Utterly inspiring. Fearlessly brave. Uncompromisingly honest.

Love her!

waterlego6064 · 09/10/2018 22:14

I’ve been thinking a lot about Magdalen today. I found it so sad to see her vulnerability in the video, I think. I hope she has some loved ones around her during this horrible time.

And I feel angry too at how unfair it seems. Magdalen is so young, and has such a brilliant brain.

Sending all my hopes and best wishes your way Magdalen. I hope your treatment will be underway very soon.
