Ive been a little quiet and really struggling. So after a really hard few days with still struggling with this bad UTI due to the catheter and all the changes & problems ,plus having to have the cystoscopy done then another one put in has definitely made it worse.theres been leaking,blocking ,bleeding,swelling ,and a hell of a lot of pain and tears.I went out the other day for first time to big shop in ages and I leaked I literally cried the whole way home !there's just non stop issues and I feel no one is doing anything to help the situation. I am so paranoid about leaving the house at all now as I'm doing everything properly changing tubes,bags,strapping it up etc but because of the problems in my bladder it causes leaks even when having the catheter in as it bypasses & I retain at times.today I managed to do some house stuff ,and some little self care things I do feel better but then I'm frustrated st myself and my body because of how much pain I'm in now from moving about today and doing stuff (basic stuff)It's really hard getting used to thw changes and my new normal & I am definitely still struggling but atleast today was better than yesterday 😊♥️

With the weather changing I always get a little nervous, about myself & the kids being out even at school etc.
I used to enjoy being out busy doing things on nice days but after Being diagnosed with skin cancer in 2016,then having over 30 biopsy surgeries between then and now & the fact I have this upcoming biopsy on my lymph nodes in my neck next week it really makes me anxious in ways .
Hope if anyone is out, you are enjoying the nice weather & remember to keep safe and protect yourselves.♥️😊🙏

It's OK to NOT be OK !!
It's OK if today hasn't been a good day !!
It's OK to feel deflated & down !!

It's NOT OK to think your NOT ENOUGH !!
It's NOT OK to think your a FAILURE !!
It's NOT OK to GIVE UP !!

Tomorrow is a new day , just try again , be kind to yourself ,take a minute or however long you need.
Focus on little things and be proud of what you can do in that day .
Don't be so hard on yourself....
Take it one day at a time , One moment at a time if need be !!

Over the past while I've really truly learned to understand this.Ive cut people off or just drifted away from people or things that weren't positive or good for me.at times it was difficult and sometimes I did feel Alone and scared and confused, but along the way and especially over past few months I've learned that I realised my boundaries through doing that ,I realised what I want and what I will accept in my life .I've come to just enjoy little things and realise the things and people that truly matter and are important to me.I do still have bad days and moments I struggle.I like having my own time and space to just relax & think or to just switch off altogether but enjoy being myself at that moment. But I've become alot stronger and I'm probably in the most difficult health position I've been in but I am dealing with it better now that I am able to focus on what's really important and also know that a BAD day isn't a BAD life ,and I have managed so far so I can keep going......

Hope this helps anyone needing to hear this today 🙏 ❤️
