So the first few days back at home all I could do was sleep. I had absolutely no energy and even taking a shower was exhausting. Thankfully my mum was still around to help me with the cooking, cleaning, etc or I fear I may have wasted away (or at least starved for a couple of days!).
The first week consisted mostly of sleeping, eating and going out at least once a day in order to get some fresh air. I could barely manage to read or go on the computer because at this stage I was still suffering from headaches and even though the painkillers helped, it was difficult for me to concentrate for long periods of time.
I couldn't really see much improvement and was getting very discouraged because once I had returned home and was no longer spending all day lying in a motorised and adjustable bed, my severe backaches had also returned. But after a couple of evenings something quite miraculous happened, I felt cold! Now this may seem pretty ridiculous to most people but for me, this was one of the first signs that things were different...
I always wanted to be special but having a rare disease wasn't quite what I had in mind...

She's AAAAALLLLLIIIIIIIVVVVVEEE
Dear Faithful blog readers,
It's been such a long time since I last posted and I sincerely apologies! Many of you have gotten in touch with me via email, facebook and phone to ask about how I'm doing and I appreciate the concern. It's now been 6 weeks since my surgery and I'm pleased to say that apart from my terrible backaches, I'm doing really well!
I'm sure some of you are curious as to what I have been up to so here's the first of a couple of posts covering the last 6 weeks.
