Part 2: Say it loud "I'm back and I'm proud!"

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...

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.

Part 1: The Surgery

Sunday, 26 September 2010

It's been a bloggin' long time...

Dear readers,

I apologise as it has been a very long time since I last posted! On Monday the 20th of September, I underwent Transsphenoidal surgery to remove the tumour causing my Cushing's. The week before that I was in Paris visiting my brother and his family to take my mind off things.
I'm happy to report that the surgery went well and I'm now back at home however it is just to beginning for me as recovery will be a long process.

I will attempt to post about the surgery over the next few days however it may take me a while as being on the computer is very tiring for me...
I just wanted to say thanks to all my family and friends who expressed their support during this scary time and hopefully I'll be back to my bloggin' self soon!
