20th December 2014

Well sorry I have not updated my page but had a really rough time of it.  Had doctor visit me at home yet another infection more tablets.  IBS has been really bad like up to ten times toilet (so sore), my arm came up so large I thought it would burst and my legs are on another level!  But enough moaning because there are other people who are in worse conditions than me.  But to show how bad my arm was thought it would be a good idea to show you all.

My good deed was to donate £10 to a charity for a fathers wish to raise enough money to help cure his daughter.  This touched my heart as the father has a brain tumour and this would possibly their last Christmas together.  I know I would do anything for my son so hence donated and decided that Leon would give up his chocolate and I would make some more cards to sell.

 Now I have to except that this is what I will have to live with for the rest of my life, and that hopefully there will be good days and I know bad days.  I am still waiting for my consultant to send me to England in hope that they will have further knowledge and maybe better treatments, but this is a fight I know I will have to undertake.  Personally I feel with the lack of knowledge and being on a small island could possibly prevent me receiving the up-to-date medicines or therapies.  I live in hope that the consultant can do something in this process.

With this all going on I must admit feeling Christmassy is not in me this year.  Normally my flat is full of Christmas lights and decos but have struggled to put this up.  

I do hope everyone out there is keeping healthy and pain free and my Christmas wish is for a cure for what I have so I can be me again.

Take care,

Alison
