I have had a number of sessions with a counsellor. She rarely speaks. She just sits and listens, only occasionally asking pointed questions. I spend the time recounting tales of how I felt when my...
I was back at work as per usual on Tuesday this week. There seemed to be something surreal about being back in my normal routine. I had my annual appraisal at work where they acknowledged how...
I was full of dread going to the South West. For ease of travel, we decided to go by train. I wanted to be able to chat in comfort rather than wade through traffic for four/five hours. Also, I am...
I’m finding it strangely ironic that, when it seems as though I finally found a permanent end to my pain, I’ve been struck with anxiety and depression. If there’s a God of Irony, He’s laughing His...
My father in law died yesterday. He had prostate cancer. Cancer has a lot to answer for. I’ll be off line for a bit while I help where I can. Foxy
As well as taking anti-depressants, I also have been seeing a counsellor. My first appointment was all about what brought me to her door in the first place. At the beginning of the second...
Anxiety is a strange thing. It’s more than just a worry about passing your exams. Worries, like some fears, are healthy – worries remind you to do things in good time so that you’re prepared....
Anti-Depressants I’m now taking 20mg Citalopram every evening. I’m feeling better than I did but still not myself. I’m finding anxiety to be difficult. The trouble with living in England is that...
My first week back to work has been more full of anxiety than I’d care to admit. Who would have thought that three days at work would leave me shaking and ceaselessly wringing my hands? I needed a...
We had quite a journey to the West Country between Christmas and New Year. I thought it would be a good idea to take the train – a more relaxing way to travel. We got there in the end but public...
Well friends, I cannot let the end of 2012 pass without pondering how it all went. I have to say, 2012 was a long year. At the beginning of 2012 I was still rather bloated and in a lot of pain. I...
Normally Helios and I stay at home over the Holidays and relax. However, Helios and I are planning to go to his hometown on 27th December to see his family. His father is dreadfully ill. After...
May you have a festive, happy and healthy holiday season! Foxy
I arrived early for my 8:30 appointment. To be honest, I knew I needed to see the doctor again but didn’t know what I wanted from the appointment. Normally, I have in mind what I want to get out of...
I did half days most of this week because of my nerves and nausea. I thought I’d finally felt better yesterday afternoon when I found myself bouncing around the room to the jingle of an advert. I...
At work some people are kindly asking how I’m feeling. I’m still nauseated. I’m not struggling with how to answer but I am struggling with my emotions when they ask. Don’t get me wrong – I’ve not...
I wish I had a better update but I only managed a half day at work today. I’m still feeling nauseated but, what’s worse is I’m feeling down again. There’s a cloud around my heart. I don’t feel like...
Last night I felt I barely slept. I went to bed at 8:30 and drifted off quickly. I woke up at 2am and was still awake at 6am. When the time came for me to get up I felt I couldn’t possibly have...
I finally started to feel a bit brighter. Much more my old self. I was able to work without my recent anxiety. Then, on Friday, I started to feel a bit sick. I’ve been nauseated all weekend. I...
I’m a little surprised. I’m finally in virtually no pain aside from muscular pain in my shoulder – which to my mind doesn’t count because, although it’s a painful annoyance, it’s nothing like what...
I’m still a little surprised at how little pain I’m in. The past few months have flown by and I haven’t missed the pain at all. Well, when I say I’ve not missed the pain – I have been having...
I’ve been holding off telling you about how I got on during my first post-hysterectomy fully-penetrative sexual experience because I’m trying to put my usual (funny I hope) spin on events. The...
Apparently everything is healing nicely. We’ve not had actual post op penetration but, after a bit of fun, what little discomfort I had when fooling around is now gone. I’m finally in the position...
It’s been just over 7 weeks since my hysterectomy. While I still feel some discomfort at my wound sites, it is only a minor discomfort. Now I’m only restricted to not lifting things and intimacy....
It’s been over 6 weeks since my operation and I’m now officially back into the swing of life at work. My first week back was semi full time as I managed 35 out of 37.5 hours that week. Last week...
I completed my first full week back but only did 32 hours out of the usual 37.5. Although I am a secretary and not a manual or skilled labourer, I was still incredibly tired by the end of each day....
My first day back to work after 4 weeks away was Friday 14th September. I have to say I’m feeling very lucky. We only have 4 dedicated car park spaces at my office reserved for managers, partners...
This time next week I’ll be back at work. I can’t say I’m exactly looking forward to it but needs must! I’m certainly feeling up to the task. I’ve been walking in the garden every day and only...
I don’t know if it’s a bug or if I’ve eaten something but my bowel isn’t happy. It started churning last night and hasn’t really let up. I struggled to get to sleep last night and had vivid dreams....
The strangest side-effect I’ve experienced after my hysterectomy regards my libido. I’ve been horny. Who would have thought that losing an organ wouldn’t have effected me so strongly but there we...
