I am home!! I still feel revolting (and yes I’m aware that I look revolting too), still have pains and I still have no answers on what the hell is going on! I have been discharged with pain relief, anti nausea and reflux medication to tide me over. I made the decision to be discharged from the public system as […]

It’s been a bit of a rollercoaster of emotions today with the situation changing multiple times throughout the day and having to adjust how I felt about things at each time things changed.

It’s been a crappy 24 hours! I woke up at 12.30am in absolutely excruciating pain to the point that I was doubled over screaming and crying in pain. The pain felt very similar to that of a gall bladder attack, but I knew that it couldn’t be that because o had my gall bladder removed 10 years ago. I sat […]

First day back at work after 10 days off. Lunchbox packed and ready to roll! Driving to work this morning I had my first ‘HOLY CRAP’ moment of the day. When I strapped on my seatbelt and I looked down, I saw a huge gap between my belly and the steering wheel. This time last year there was no gap […]
