It's 9.15am and I am up and ready. No makeup on or perfume. Yes, I look like the witch from Rod and Emu.....I don't feel nervous at all, just excited really, I think it's going to be weird being able to see properly after years of wearing glasses. I first got glasses when I was about 8 years old, I also developed asthma at about the same time. Great. Just when you don't want to be the geeky child. The doctors think the asthma drug could be the reason I developed a tumour - the steroids in the medication. I did grow out of the asthma when I was 18 but 10 years is a long time to be on steroids. Pituitary tumours are not genetic and they don't really know why they develop. Oh well, at least I am going to have one problem fixed....
On another note poor Boyf. is in bed with food poisening, he didn't sleep a wink last night and I had to sleep in the other room. I have given him paracetamol now and left him with plenty of water, all you can do is sleep it off. He text me this morning from his room which was really sweet, saying 'I love you poppet' I know for this reason he must be really ill because he never does things like that usually!

About Me
- Lottie4979
- I'm in my 30's, which to me sounds very odd. I only feel like I'm in my 20's and definitely not a grown up. I have spent the last 7 years battling with my health; firstly spending 2 years getting a diagnosis for a tumour on my pituitary gland which was causing Cushings Disease; then spending the rest of my life dealing with a pituitary gland that doesn't work. However, I have a fantastic family and an amazing boyfriend who I live with and adore - they keep me going and inspire me to try to make the most of life and my life in general.
