I was in Tasmania recently. Partly it was wonderful, I laughed like I hadn't in a long time, and I saw one of my best friends whom I hadn't seen in such a long time. But partly it was awful, I cried a lot. I cried because of the pain. I cried because of the things I could no longer do. I cried because of the things I could not hope to do. The weight of such realisation sure produces fat tears.
We visited my friend and her beautiful family, and despite how I was feeling, we had two jolly evenings together, and it was wonderful. We visited the Salamanca Markets too, and found an amazing artist named Sarah Millicent Elliot who produces a fantastic range of whimsical art based products- prints, brooches, hair ties and the like. I was drawn to this picture like a magnet, I think because it feels like me... slightly odd, and hanging on by a thread.
I was a happy go lucky girl in her thirties with the lifestyle of my dreams, the perfect job and perfect group of friends and family... when illness struck. After two years of trying every kind of treatment available, I was introduced to the spinal cord stimulator.
