“I’m sorry…” seems to be the first words that come to mind. Sorry for so many things because somehow, I just feel this is wrong and unfair. Sorry because you were a little girl that I knew once upon a time, a girl whom I envied and loved because you were always kind and caring…
How nice it must be when you don’t have to worry about illness. When you don’t need more than one type of medication to treat some disease, condition or symptom. Extremely nice to not have to worry about surgery being your only option for certain things. Or my all time favourite, not to have to…
I’ve spoken before about the concerning aspect of the medical professionals, who treat Hydrocephalus patients, who are not on the same page. There are just too many people walking around without proper aftercare or dealing with medical staff who are uneducated in terms of Hydrocephalus. I myself am one of these people and am also…
This post is a bit of a tricky one for me to write about. Only because, I’m not too sure what to cover off but hopefully there’s something in it for everyone. Last Friday, I had my Hysterectomy, something I’d been waiting for a little over 7 months on the public system. The months leading…
I wonder how this fits into the equation of dealing with issues from the past for mental healing. I get that there’s nothing you can do about what happened in the past…it’s self-explanatory.

Being prescribed antidepressants a few weeks back to control my headaches more than anything else, I put starting them off because of my Hysterectomy surgery.

Normally, internal tissues and organs have slippery surfaces, preventing them from sticking together as the body moves. However, abdominal adhesions cause tissues and organs in the abdominal cavity to stick together.” https://www.niddk.nih.gov/health-information/digestive-diseases/abdominal-adhesions Scar tissue…something I’ve mentioned before…
These few little words have the power to evoke all sorts of feelings in me once uttered by someone else. A few days ago we went out for a team lunch and one of the women in the group asked me how I was doing as she had heard I was feeling unwell. I told…
Ever feel like the beginning of a headache is the same as playing the game of Chicken? A few weeks ago, I had a lurking pain that started off subtly but like so many times before, had me wondering if it’ll turn into something more. At times like these, I remain aware of the pain…
We fall in love… Promises are made… A lifetime of happiness we imagine together as we are governed by a heart filled to the brim. Life happens and 2 become 3, sometimes 4 or even 5. In between all of that, feelings change as the illusion of it all slowly starts breaking down. We see…
