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…
This is the view as I left my therapy session earlier today. Isn't it beautiful, to think this green patch is right in the middle of Malmö. I am so happy I had a session booked in this afternoon cos man did I need it! Today has been shit on shit! A shitty doctor making…
Crazy Saturday emotions
Waking up feeling sad is so boring now! Good job skype exists so I can talk to mum, or we can at least keep each other company. And then, somehow my mood was lifted and after saying bye I had a qigong session and then put some music on. I have such a cheesy playlist…
A different type of entry regarding family and relationships
Having the support and love from family and friends is important for everybody and especially for us living with chronic illness and the effects thereof. An unexpected issue came into light recently and triggered this entry which might appear different in both my normal style of writing and content but I felt I needed to…
Little bit of everything on a very lightly
I'd like to say that life is looking up. I feel like I can do a little bit more than I have been able to, which is nice. I'm still not at any "normal" energy levels but its an improvement at least, or has been the past few days at least. I keep trying to…
Valentines day and a lovely weekend of love and thoughts
Forecast today in the Life o'Charlotte, gloomy with patches of sun. My head feels like someone is holding a pair of pliers and squeezing all they can while pushing my head towards my shoulders at the same time as they are pulling it upwards. Yeah that doesn't make sense but neither does the feeling. Spoke to…
Sister support and new bags
It was great having my baby sister here! It's so empty now that she has gone! Before she went she tried on a bag so she could see what it was like. She also had a look at my stoma (on a picture). She has been my biggest challenge and has found this all very…
It happened again…
Well there we go again. Today has been a super exhausting day. Today me and Stevie had the worst accident so far. Walking to work with my sister and when we were just around the corner from work I suddenly felt my leg go warm. At first I thought shit that must be a leak but…
3 years ago and feeling hopeful
3 years ago today I took one of the most difficult steps in my life. One of many I realise now. For those of you who don't know, today marks the 3 year day of my move to Sweden, or back to Sweden. Having lived in the UK for 11 years and always saying how…
Good morning! Its one of those grey wet days today, I am laid in bed with a huge cup of tea, my book and the cats. I love lazy mornings on my own. I would have prefererad to still be sleeping but I woke up when Axel got up to go play football so now…
