Touch Base

I have not visited this blog for quite awhile.
After my 50th birthday last year the world has knocked me down off my feet. 
My mom died after a 5 month coma and on the same day my mom passed away I was in hospital having blood transfusion because of anaemia.  I did not realise that the feeling of extreme fatigue and just plain 'I cannot be bothered' were due to anaemia.  I was literally a walking time bomb. Tests and scans showed in the following months that I have 2 big fibroids which caused my heavy monthlies and therefore my anaemia.  My gynaecologist suggested a total abdominal hysterectomy which I consented.  I had the procedure in February and after 3 months recuperation I am back to work now.  I will write about all these upheavals in different blogs. 

I am OK to go back to work but I know I am not fully 100% healthy. I have a urologist appointment next month (May) to investigate possible bladder inflammation.  I am concerned but I have to learn to live one day at time.  To trust in God's plan for me.
