After what has been an incredible traumatic experience in hospital, yes I just can't seem to stay away as I got admitted last Wednesday and home now. Last time with an infection in my head and UTI this last time urosepsis because the UTI hadn't been treated properly. I can't even remember most of last week but my Mum says better I can't as it wasn't an experience you want to remember as I am surrounded by Doctors and Nurses trying to stabilise me after a ride in an ambulance with lights and sirens, apparently got there incredibly quickly. But it reminded me of our fears when we are faced when diagnosed with a serious illness, ironically I feel more scared now then when I was diagnosed with cancer, why not sure perhaps because I was in shock felt that things were in control and this time feeling less in control of my body as my immune system is shocking.
But now I am home I look at what is important to us and that's being kind to ourselves for me its be having and having full bed rest so not going to be about much on site because I know its what I need. I love my art and photography it helps to relax and take my mind away from the many worries circling my brain. But I also think about all the ladies here at various stages of diagnosis treatment and post treatment. We all go though so much and we have to put our faith in the Doctors who treat us the nurses who continue the care and all others involved. Not everyone is like me who seems to have the worst luck out there yet felt lucky to be low stage womb cancer and only had surgery as treatment I was greatful for that, but I also took my health for granted and so strongly independent but I will be forever greatful to everyone who helps us get though these traumatic events its important to know it doesn't matter how trival you may find a question but just ask, now I have to remember could it be sepsis! The things we need to remember that our immune system does take a whack from treatment and some of us maybe more vulnerable then others but remember to be kind to yourselfs, rest up, wrap up in these cold days. Do you need to go out today? If not then don't risk all the bugs going round. I had my flu jab just before my first recent hospital admittion so I have some protection, just ask about it if you haven't had it we all need to give ourselves every bit of help, especially this time of year, long cold days.
Thinking of each and everyone of you, those just diagnosed we are here for you, never feel silly with a question as I am sure someone else has asked the same before. Be kind to yourselfs if you have just had surgery its OK to ask for help, let your body heal.
Hello gbear, if only I could I use the insert button I would be sending you a great big bear hug ! You just rest, this latest thing with me has taken me off my feet completely, un heard of in our house and has shocked us all to be honest. Had to cancel guests coming in for 5 nights etc., and have spent my days in bed resting and watching daytime tv (very boring) reading and nodding off on a regular basis, but goodness me I feel better for it. Listen to you body, don't worry about anyone but you. And hopefully you will be fully mended soon.
Sending you love and hope that you regain your great strength again soon.
Big hugs (but without the bear 
)

GBear I am so sorry to hear you have been in hospital again, you really have had a rough time of it since your op. Hopefully things will look up for you now and your health will improve. Please rest plenty and look after yourself
Also thank you to for explaining how to tag people on another post, I have often wondered!
Hugs, Lesley xx
This is to cheer you up. I’m at the clinical trials unit today so my puppy, Noodle, is in doggy day care. This is her on the right with her new best doggy friend - a 19-week-old German Shepherd called Monty. Apparently Noodle spends her time trying to get Monty’s head in her mouth. Good luck with that!
In case you need any more cuteness in your life....
