Update

Here's a little update on how things are going and overall I'd say they are going a lot better than I anticipated. I woke up after the operation on Friday feeling pretty positive; the consultant had found what needed removing pretty quickly and didn't need to open up the left side of my throat to go hunting any further for another parathyroid gland. I was out, operated on and awake again within 90 minutes. The anesthetic was a total Godsend and I didn't realise quite how much pain it was keeping at bay until last night. I'd say that was a bit of a shock to the system and along with incredibly persistent nausea and drowsiness, yesterday and last night were very rough for me. I'm trying to keep optimistic and busy (when I'm not falling asleep into my cups of tea). So far, the relapse symptoms have left me alone! There was a little tingling in my hands after taking some Oramorph (that wasn't as much fun as I had anticipated) but other than that, nothing

Under the Knife

Hello! How  I’ve  missed writing and how crazy this last month has been. So much has been happening globally, as well as personally.  I’m  not going to go there with the politics but all I’ll say is love and peace to all. On a personal level,  I’d  say it’s been a lot of juggling and coasting but hopefully things will calm down soon (well, because they are going to have to). Where to start…firstly,  I’ve  spent time with my friends prepping for our other friend’s wedding. She may be on her honeymoon/just got back home as she reads this, and if  that’s the case, a big HELLO to you and I hope you had the best time ever. This was a lot of fun and loads of time and effort went into making the day  absolutely spectacular . I think I speak for us all when I say, well done team and it was all worth it. From there, it has pushed me into my own wedding planning  and that has been  hectic, though I think  I’ m  doing well for time . With  a lot of  bookings made, hours spent on phone call
