I'm feeling sentimental a lot at the moment, I can't tell you how many times I have teared up this week... I tear up watching the X-Factor, Eastenders, Sally the Psychic, the news, TV adverts about TV programmes... yes it has got that bad.... I am going to 3 weddings this month, the first of which is for a friend I have known for years. I don't see him very often but him (I will call him A) and his friend (J) have a special place in my heart. When I was in hospital and very sick, to the point I did not want to see anyone except my parents... A and J went on a secret mission to track me down and come and see me. I was in a pretty awful state, I was just coming round from meningitus and hadn't been able to shower, wash my hair or anything. I also had cold sores all round my mouth as my body struggled to cope. I don't remember much from their visit to me but I do remember how I felt when I heard they had come to see me. I was very very happy. It really touched my heart. I don't think I made much conversation but I remember their faces and that was enough for me. I hope that going forward we will all manage to keep up with one another as we go through the normal changes in our lives as we all grow up, get married, start families... ok maybe not everyone, but most! I am really looking forward to the weddings I am taking part in, it's the start of a new era.
I live with a non-functioning pituitary (since an operation in 2005 to remove a tumour causing Cushings disease; http://csrf.net/) - this blog describes my fight to get more action from the doctors and my own personal experiences in daily life, similar to that of Bridget Jones Ha!
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.
