Hello friends,
Thank you all for your well wishes.
I had major surgery a week ago and am slowly working on being better.
Time will tell whether the operation (surrenalectomy) will have entirely cured what was wreaking havoc on my system, but we are very hopeful.
The past few months - feeling increasingly unwell and so very exhausted, spending so much time having tests done and appointments at the hospital - have been gruelling. Being separated from my little girl to stay at the hospital last week - and not being allowed to breastfeed her for a few days due to a highly uncooperative medical team - has been the hardest thing I've ever had to go through.
Seb deserves a medal for Best Father and Companion of the Year.
I keep telling myself that this is a thousand times better than if my baby had had problems. That I am so grateful for her own health. That there is a very good chance I'll be entirely cured.
I'll be away for a while longer, though I might update my Flickr account and perhaps even add a few posts here, with pictures and just a few words. That may well be my usual format from now on, anyway. Things like that, they make you reconsider your priorities.
For now, I am off to rest and enjoy my beautiful, happy, healthy, and adorable baby.
