Today is Cushing's awareness day!!!

It gives me great joy to be able to report on this day that I am celebrating my 200th day of being Cushing's (nicotine, caffeine and alcohol) free.

Though today is a great day for me because the sun is shining and I feel good, it is important to remind people that Cushing's is a terrible, complex and deadly disease that is often overlooked.

Although today I can report that the results so far suggest I have been cured, things are never so black and white.

For those of you who read my blog regularly, you will know that a few months ago, only 4-5 months after my pituitary surgery, I was already afraid that my Cushing's was back because I'd gotten a high ACTH and Cortisol level on a blood test.

When life gives you lemons...

Well I really haven't been very good at keeping my blog up to date. It appears I'm not blogging as regularly as before and actually by waiting so long in between posts, it means that when I do finally get round to writing something I just have so much to write!! It makes it all a bit tiring for us both. Me the writer, trying to succinctly summarise the events of the last few weeks, and you the reader, trying to feign interest for what's been happening in my life. Hopefully though you'll enjoy reading and if not, tough!

So when we last "spoke" I was telling you that I was about to get a new haircut and was waiting on some test results. So the good news first: well the good news is that I went for it, got a daring haircut with an undercut on one side and re-dyed some pink into it and I absolutely love it.

Now for the not so good news...

Who's that chick?

I realise it's been a long time since I last posted and I apologies. It's not that I've had nothing to write, but having finally started to have a life again, finding time to blog has become more challenging!
But I guess that's a good thing right?

So what's been happening? Well quite a lot actually. I started going to a new church which my friend told me about. It's been about 6weeks now and I've been every week. I even joined one of the "connect groups" which is a local group that meets weekly to reflect on the service, pray and socialise. I never imagined myself such a fervent churchgoer but I realise that it brings me something that nothing else can, a natural high! Every Sunday I leave the service feeling enlightened and in a great mood. I don't know if it's the catchy worship songs, the dynamic young pastors, the welcoming atmosphere or simply the bible readings, but whatever it is, it's working!!
