What a week…

Evening guys, I’ve had/am having one hell of a week. And although I should be posting pretty pics of clothes I have found myself mopping up sick and making dashes with the wee one to the GP unit. Thankfully Poppy is on the mend and the worst of the tummy bug seems to have passed. Which I’m incredibly grateful for. There is nothing worse than seeing your child or loved one ill, and feeling so helpless. 
I’m also relieved because I have my own health worries at the moment, and with uni deadlines looming, the opening of our shop and various other commitments I’m feeling more than a little overwhelmed.
Today I had an endoscopy, possibly one of the most awful medical procedures I’ve endured and I have had some gross/painful/degrading ones done. But this was so awful, I just can’t explain. In my infinite wisdom I decided to just go for the anaesthetic spray and no sedative so I was awake  throughout and felt it all. I won’t go into all the gory details, safe to say it was awful, but it would appear there is nothing wrong with my stomach (YEY) so on Thursday they investigate the “other end” shall we say. Again something I’m not looking forward to.
Although I’ve already had a diagnosis of probable IBS, complicated by the fact I’ve had a gastric bypass and my gallbladder removed they are doing tests just to rule out anything else and cement the diagnosis. I’m thankful that they are taking the time to investigate so that appropriate medication/diet can be administered, but honestly? I just feel a bit broken and violated.
I’m sorry for the moan and I know in the grand scheme of things there are people enduring far worse things than this every second of the day, but I needed somewhere to have a bit of a moan and release. My mental health isn’t fantastic at the moment so I’m throwing it all out there in the hope once I’ve said it out loud, that I’m stressed and sad and depressed, I can take step towards improving things. 
Thanks for listening x x

Its so weird its like a mirror image of me – IBS, gastric bypass and depression (not a barrel of fun!) – minus the poor wee one being poorly πŸ™ Have got no advice – just live in the moment and take each challenge as it comes – you will be alright xoxo
