Today as I stood having a bagless shower I looked down at my stomach.. my brown stomach with a white circle on the right hand side between my bellybutton and hip bone. In the middle of this white circle is a red little rose..my little stoma.. I have only had my stoma for three and…
Hair
Today when I was brushing my hair, I started to reflect on the journey it has had. All throughout my childhood and early teens my hair was long and healthy. As a child and young teenager my hair went down below my bum, and my ponytail and plait was as thick as a half kilo…
The last few weeks I've been feeling really down about myself. I have felt fat, well maybe not fat, but I have definitely got a rounder face again (which, yes, I know, it's only me who can see it, but man can I see it!). I have also been having this really odd reaction where…
Camping, stress and a little extra…
Let's talk about camping. I've never been a camping girl, not before surgery or after really.

Root canal time part one
Day for root canal, or root cleaning, and no one can understand how I feel when I go to the dentist unless they have been with me and can see. I get so tired of people saying "but the dentist is nothing compared to what you've been through". My cousin came with me to get…
Smear time
Hey all, it's been a while since I wrote, life's been flying by. I'll write another post soon but today I wanna talk a bit about something that is rather important really, and I'll tell you about my experience of it. Smear tests. Today I have been so nervous! Back in January I went for…
