It's been a while....

This has got to have been the craziest 5 weeks of my life and thats saying something, we have lived through some crazy stuff! After a whirlwind ride of emotions I feel strangely at peace with what is happening, I think going from Doctor to Doctor and Hospital visit after Hospital visit just trying to explain that I knew there was something wrong with me I am just happy to now have a diagnosis that I can finally start treatment for. The diagnosis is definitely one that no one ever wants to be given, but I have so all I can do is fight it with every bit of strength and courage I have. It means some big changes to my life the biggest being my diet, no gluten, dairy or sugar for me, The hardest is the sugar, sugar is in everything!!!!!  I have to juice lots, no apples though, they are high in sugar, lots of Kale, celery, carrots, yum, aren't I lucky:)
 I have decided to treat myself with my naturopath so I am having vitamin C iv's twice a week, think it will be upped to 3 times, it is so hard sitting still for 6 hours a time, i end up walking up and down dragging my pole with me until I get told to sit down again:) Although ,I have met some really lovely women and I end up chatting away with them the whole time, I thought I would love the chance to sit and read for hours but now I can I just dont want too.
It sometimes takes a life shattering thing to happen to you to make you realise that you just need to slow down and enjoy life, I am making a conscious effort to cut down on our stress levels, no more having 3 kids all playing soccer on the same night in different parts of the city!:) It has been heartwarming to realise how many people care for me, my MIL has been and blitzed our house(every cupboard was emptied and reorganized!) my good friends who are going to help look after Lorenzo while I am stuck with my iv, this means more to me than they could ever know!!! and just the constant calls and messages offering support. I am a lucky girl to have such a support system!!!!

 My yummy Kale juice

 This is where you will find me every Tuesday and Thursday

I hope so!!!!!
