Check up update

Berlin trip was brilliant! I just about survived, we didn't stress too much which was nice, and spent most of the time stopping to eat at various places so I got a fair bit of rest thankfully! And of course the main reason for the trip was to check out a bronze foundry so that…

The evening we met..

3 years ago today - January 31 - was the day I met my blondie. I was out on a girls night, totally off men and just enjoying being me. It was a cold night and payday weekend so everywhere was busy. We were cold and didn't want to stand in the queues so we…

A downer in the life of a UC warrior.

All is not bright and shining in the life of Charlotte and the life of an ulcerous colitis sufferer, or rather I prefer UC Warrior! I started work a few weeks ago (Monday 8th January) as you know, and on the Wednesday as I was on the toilet doing my thing, also emptying my rectum…

1 year!

Wow. I cannot believe it has been a year! Today marks the day! November 1st. What a year it has been. It's amazing to think what I have been able to do thanks to Stevie! So lets rewind a bit first. After an extremely tough month, or well months of no food, no sleep, a…

Sun and Stevie tan

This summer I have realised something, well rather had it confirmed. My body is made for warmer climate. I love the sun, I love having a golden shine, it makes me feel healthy and boosts my confidence like god knows what, and best of all, I don't feel like I need to wear as much…

3rd September – My birthday

Detta inlägg finns på dålig Svenska längst ner också. (This blog is in bad Swedish at the bottom too.) Yesterday was my birthday. I have always loved birthdays and celebrating but ever since moving to Sweden I start dreading my birthday and become quite down the week before it. Same happened again this year, however…

Adventures in Wales

  What a summer I have had! Sorry about the quietness on my behalf, I have just been enjoying life. I have done lots of new things, and plenty of old. I have spent a lot of time with Axel but also spent time with my family! Not just my mum and sister, but also…

Alice Cooper

Yesterday was one of those days that reminded me of just how grateful I am for Stevie the stoma. We decided a bit last minute to drive up to Gothenburg  to see Alice Cooper. It is roughly a 2 1/2 hour drive in one direction. So off we went. The day cleared up and we…

John Fogerty

Today I am suffering, but oh my was it worth it! Last night was my first big concert with Stevie! And my first visit to a portaloo (or as it is called in Swedish 'bajamaja' and I just love that name), ill get back to this later. We went to see John Fogerty here in…

Midsummer

Hey all, it's been a while since I wrote something now, I guess not much has happened really? Or has it? Tiredness has been a major part of things. I'm working 6 hours a day (7 with lunch included) and it's so tiring. I come home, try to have a rest before Axel comes home…
