Why I’ve not being blogging for quite awhile....

Hey everyone!!

It’s been so long since I’ve actually sat and wrote anything over on my blog.... I think it’s been at least a year if I’m not mistaking! I’ve kept a few posts going on Instagram, Snapchat and Facebook but no actual posts.  But sure I’m back for now anyways.

So as you all know I wrote a few posts on having Endometriosis and what it was like growing up with it and how shocking out healthy system is when it comes to having Endometriosis... for anyone who doesn’t know what it is I’ve a post all about it on my blog feel free to pop back and have a look:)

Well the reason why I’ve been so quiet is all related back to Endometriosis AGAIN.... sadly it never goes away as it’s an incurable disease but at times you manage to get on with life and work if you’re lucky.
That’s what I had been doing for awhile I was even going to the gym a few times a week and walked every night and lost weight and was really feeling great :)  then all of a sudden the pain got too much and I ended up in hospital last summer. I’d not had surgery to remove any of the Endometriosis in about 6 years but had been managing with different hormones, pills and pain killers and the bang it all got too much.

When I went into hospital scans where done and I was kept in to manage the pain and was told that my Endometriosis has returned very badly and I was a high priority case and needed surgery ASAP. Sadly in Ireland surgery isn’t straight away even when it’s priority so I was sent home and had to wait  to see specialist, they had to have a meeting to discuss my case and who was able to do the surgery.
One specialist was willing to do the surgery and then changed his mind as he was worried about my fertility and causing damage because of where the Endometriosis had spread to. So I was then referred to another more experienced specialist for more severe Endometriosis.

I then met with them and my surgery was discussed along with what my options where regarding fertility. With having Endometriosis your fertility and chances of having a child or children are more limited due to the damage Endometriosis cases to your womb, ovaries etc.
This time around with the severity of mine and having 4 surgeries previously and depending on how the extent of my Endometriosis was when they opened me up to remove it my chances of having a child where very limited and “running out of time”

A couple of months passed waiting on surgery being basically bed bound and in constant agony making life pretty tough at times so no blogging was done. Makeup was pointless as I was stuck in bed. I had lost interest in anything Blog related and when the invitations to events and things and being too sick to attend I needed a break from it all.

In February I finally had the surgery after 6 months of waiting and all the Endometriosis was removed in more places than expected. Recovery was very tough. The pain from the surgery was horrible. It was by far the worst surgery yet. It was weeks before I could drive and I needed help with everything I did.
It’s taking a lot of time to get over the surgery and still recovering when it comes to certain things but I’m getting there :)

All the Endometriosis was removed successfully and they where very happy with how things went.
I’m now in remission but the Endometriosis can return at any time and I’ve a new Endometriosis nurse who keeps an eye on me all the time (which I never had before) who is lovely.
I need physio for my leg and back because I’ve nerve damage from the Endometriosis so sitting and standing for long periods of time is a killer and I had to say goodbye to my little girl racer days and get an Automatic car... which I shouldn’t really complain about considering it’s a BMW 520 Msport :)

Now that things have started to improve and get better I’ve a bit more of an interest on blogging again and sharing my story as to why I was MIA. So fingers crossed things keep going the way their going and I get back into the swing of things and yous see a lot more post, tutorials and reviews.

So that’s my little update on why I’ve been so quiet and not blogging in so long :)

Thanks for having a read and I look forward to chatting with everyone soon with lots more blog posts to follow :)
