I have to say I haven`t been able to chat as I have had a lot going on since 2 weeks before Xmas.
I had my elderly Mum stay and she`s been quite poorly and needed a lot of looking after.
She developed an infection in her gallbladder and has gall stones.
The infection worsened her arthritis so its been a bit difficult.
Then I became very depressed and had to have medication to help.
I finally get my surgery next Thursday the 28th. A few days later and it will be 4 months since the first surgery was done and it was misdiagnosed.
After the hectic xmas and family, mum and kids coming to see me I was then thankful for some breathing space when everyone went home. But then its just yourself do deal with the worry and loneliness.
I have been trying to stay positive, I have now joined a slimming club and am searching for a part-time job to give me some focus and get me out to have a purpose. I know kids can be hard work but I really would rather have had them around than be alone like this.
Millie my little dog has been a great comfort. Only a few more days now till its out. Then I will get a result.
Love to everyone.
Best wishes,
