" Believe, when you are most unhappy, that there is something for you to do in the world. So long as you can sweeten another's pain, Life is not in vain. " - Hellen Keller (1880 - 1968)





A Heart Felt Welcome To You....

I am a mother of 3 children, who has now passed the stage of the "Biological Clock ." I lost my planned and very much wanted precious first child - a son "Nicholas" - at 19 weeks & 4 days gestation, due to birth defects. My 2 other children are the love of my life, and I treasure every moment I spend with them. I am currently studying to be a counsellor while also hoping to finish writing a book this year, about my life's experiences & many challenges.



You can also catch a summary by viewing my complete profile. I'd love you to stay awhile, to hopefully be comforted and inspired by my writing, and enjoy the read! Please post a comment, I would love to hear from you. xxxx

Bairnsdale Ulcers - The Good And The Bad !!

Yesterday I went back to my GP, and was given another very painful injection!!!! And I have too go back again this afternoon for another one (OUCH!!!!).
The results have come back on my blood tests, and she said it was good news, that I have a bacterial infection.....How is that good I asked???? Her reply was that she was testing me for Leukemia, and I don't have that!!!! (Yes that is very good news!!!!). The results haven't come back yet on my swabs, so she is still not sure what my ulcers are....(I'm still panicking).....
The third ulcer that popped up on Friday, is growing very very rapidly...Arrgghh..... While there hasn't been any change in the other two ulcers, none of them are responding to the heavy doses of antibiotics!!!!
My GP said that until my swab results come back, and we know exactly what the ulcers are, that its no use sending me to specialists yet, so hopefully when I see her this afternoon my swab results will have come back, and we'll know where to go from here!! I must admit the pain is excruciating, and I cannot have any painkillers, and there is good reasons for that, which I'll explain in another post one day, because that's a long story.
My precious children are very distraught about my condition, and seeing I'm not allowed to touch them at the moment, its very upsetting to not be able to comfort them with lots of reassuring cuddles, all I can do is just keep reassuring them through my words.
Where I live there are not enough Doctors, so I have too travel one hour to see my Doctor, and travel one hour to get back home. Its very annoying, but unfortunately there is a shortage of Doctors here on the Mornington Peninsula, as well as all over Australia at the moment.
Last night I again googled my condition (Should I have really done that??) And I found out that Koala's and Possums can have the same ulcers, and here where I live I am surrounded by Koala's and Possums.... That's when I remembered what happened to me over a week ago......Arrgghhhh!!!!!
I have a very friendly Possum on my front porch, who often comes too visit me when I'm sitting out there, and he is very curious......Do you know where I'm going with this????
I was just as curious about him as he was with me, and he looked sooooo cute, so I tried to pat him............. And he gave me a tiny little nip on my finger where one of my ulcers is. It didn't hurt, and was a minuscule bite, but it did break the skin, so now I'm wondering if I got the ulcers from him???? Even though the medical professionals haven't established that you can get these ulcers from Possums, they do know that Possums have the same ulcers..... Is this just a coincidence???? I'll have to ask my Doctor this afternoon.
I would like to give my love and thoughts too such wonderful ladies I have met in the blogging world, as well as a huge thank you to them too. They all share a very special place in my heart xxxx

  1. Shoot Kay, your hand sores are turning into a huge saga! I am so sorry you are going through this and I hope a solution is found very soon.

    Did you figure out how to open the wine and light a cigarette? Those sure sound in order given your situation.

    I'll be watching for what you doctor says about the possum. I knew EXACTLY where you were going with that because giving the possum a snuggle is just what I would have attempted too. Cute little (possibly) disease ridden critters.
