Keeping strong when you feel like giving up!
Saturday evening my head hurt a bit, by the early hours it was unbearable, I tried paracetamol, ibuprofen and when I could take it no more – Codeine, none of which worked or touched the pain, this was by far the worst pain I had ever yet to encounter.
I made the phone call to my Mum at 7.45am,(she is my LP partner!!) by 9am I was in A and E, I am always so dubious about having an LP, I know most of you will have read my last experience and it was not one that I ever want to repeat, it’s always at the back of my mind when I need

Now anyone that knows us well, knows that you can rely on Ruby my youngest to brighten your day, she is a ray of sunshine, and can make
Mummy what’s a condom?
Maisy looks like she is going to die of embarrassment, Kevs eyes are popping out of his head, Mums trying her best not to laugh, and I can’t believe my ears!

Kev looks at me as if to say well you started to you need to finish it, again I say could we talk about this when we are all home together not in this ward, Ruby has that cheeky glint in her eye, looks at Kev and says Daddy have you used one or does Mummy? By now my poor Mum, is

I got a condo in Manhattan
Baby girl, what’s hatnin’?
So slight misinterpretation by Maisy, but defiantly a moment that brought laughter and humour when it was needed by Ruby.
My Lumbar Puncture started at 9.10pm with my amazing Mum by my side, Kev and the girls in the day room,
I am relieved it’s done, no idea really when the next one will be needed, but hopefully it will run as smoothly as that one, I feel ok, no
Maybe I have need to feel like this to regain my strength to start up the fight again, – well that’s what I’m telling my self and as I look at all that I have, I know I am truly blessed and ever grateful.
To all who remain by my side – I adore you all.
To everyone who wishes me well, and takes time to contact me – I am so grateful, it means so much.
And finally – IIH you can’t keep a
