I’m home

Thursday, September 23rd, 2010

I’m home from hospital but still feeling pretty horrid. I slept for 13 hours last night and could probably do the same and still feel tired!

They sorted out the endometriosis and adhesions and the surgeon seemed pretty confident that it will be the end of my pain. I’m so hopeful that it will be. I had to stay in over night as my temperature and heart rate kept going up and then other complications in the morning meant I couldn’t go home till the afternoon. My mum was waiting for us when we got home with a coolbox full of food to keep us going so Daz doesn’t have to worry about shopping and cooking. I’ve just had two slice of very tasty cake that she brought me, it’s yum!

I’m going to be out of action for a while, it hurts to move and I’m so huge as they’ve filled me with gasses and fluids to make sure the adhesions don’t reform.

Daz has been wonderful, I couldn’t be more lucky.
Thank you for the messages from everyone.

Off to hospital

It’s going to be a quiet week here for me as I am going into hospital tomorrow for an operation to hopefully treat my endometriosis. Fingers crossed it means an end to all the agonising pain I’ve been in.

Any orders will still be posted out by my lovely boyfriend but I won’t be making anything for a few days atleast!

Free goodies!!

Because my work was featured in Beads and Beyond Magazine I got a voucher to spend at Beads Unlimited.

I didn’t actually buy many beads, just a few little silver spacers. I did however, get lots and lots of fimo!! Can’t wait to get to work with this stuff!!

Pip

Pip on Branscombe beach

I was knocked for six yesterday when I received a phone call from my mum to say that Pip had died. Pip was our family dog and my best friend in all the world when I was a teenager. We had her mum, Midge, from a puppy and I was 12 when Pip was born. She got me through very tough times when I was a teenager, always being there to listen to me and make me feel better. She had a wonderful life living on a farm and going on thousands of miles of walks over the years. She was the most wonderful little dog in the world and I miss her. I am dreading going back to my parents house next weekend, knowing that she won’t be there to greet me.

My kitties love to help me when I’m making stuff. Usually they are trying to chew the wire or chase a bead around. Today I had a delivery of beads – 1 kilo of green lampwork beads. Arty has decided they make a good pillow. I’m going to get on with making stuff with the ones he’s not asleep on.

Weekend Away

We’re off!
Just to Devon for the weekend to stay with my parents. It will be nice to get away and enjoy the beautiful seaside. The beaches round here are nothing compared to the south coast. We’re hoping to find some sea glass and pottery on the beaches near Lyme Regis, rumor has it that it’s a pretty cool place for finding things. Hopefully lots to blog about when we get back!

Have a lovely weekend everyone.
