This time last year I was very apprehensive about having an operation that I had deep reservations about having. Christmas came and went and how I took for granted the joys of eating, drinking, having a bath .......
All of you who have followed my story know what happened in that op. This year has been so hard and I am in no doubt that without the support of this forum I possibly wouldn't even be here as I nearly gave up so many times, not just during my 3 months in hospital, many times since when it has become apparent I'm not fixed. So it's now almost a year since the op went wrong - today I am ok, I can eat and drink but not like before - I wnt eat anything with nuts, seeds or anything too coloured like beetroot incase it appears in the holes on my abdomen. May be a bit crazy but it has affected me. I can't have a bath or swim as essentially they are open wounds, and my husband and I are not able to have proper relationships.
But the positives - I am alive, I am loved, I love my family, I can walk, talk, see, hear,sing, breath and laugh. I'm going to be a nana in 10 days hopefully. I am learning to be grateful and try and focus the positives.
Thank you all from the bottom of my heart ❤️❤️ Merry Christmas and a healthy and happy 2016
