Still on that boat…

Strawberry blonde in a dizzy world!

Yeee haaar!

Hmmm I just wrote a really funny blog with lots of nice pics and it has been deleted twice. Having a major throw myself on the floor kicking and screaming strop (in my head – I’m in a bar using wifi I don’t want to get sectioned!)

Ahhhhhhhhh!

Lets try again:

Well that was about as fast as I wanted to go! I had a lovely lunch out with my dad followed by some rather dodgy walking and hanging onto lamppost’s. Anyone who knows my Dad probably figures that that’s just part of the course when you go for a boozy lunch with him but I’d only had an iced tea I promise! I looked like such a chav – a typical Brit youngster on the sangria all morning and could now barely stand. I managed to get back to the car without passing out in donkey poo (that would have been a new one!) so all was well in the end 😉

The weather has been a bit iffy and extremely windy but it has been lovey to chill out with my dad. I know I don’t exactly have a busy life back home but its been nice to relax because that’s what you do on holiday rather than just because you have to.

We found some Peppers de Pedro (with a lot of pointing and charades style movements)in a tapas bar which was very exciting as they are amazing. I can’t wait to introduce them to my cousin who is coming out in a few days. She loves food – mainly salt and hot things so these will be right up her street!

I also got very excited about Henry’s Bar. For those of you that have more of a life and don’t watch reality TV (I can’t believe I’m admitting this) it was featured during an episode of The Only Way is Essex (oh dear I feel I’ve reached a new low!). I looked so cool walking in with my Dad I thought I’d just throw what was left of my street cred out the window and pose for a photo. Totes amazing!

As I can’t walk far I’ve had to learn to drive on the right (more like wrong) side of the road. It’s been fun but if we’d had a swear jar I would be a very wealthy women by now. Right fingers crossed for some sunshine!

Hi, My name is Susan and in 2010 I suddenly got very sick with vertigo and extreme fatigue. My life as I knew it changed forever. I had to leave my job as a junior Doctor to move back home with my family as I was unable to look after myself, let alone other people. It took a very long time, about 2644 doctors visits and ALL the tests to be told ‘congratulations, all your results are normal there is nothing wrong with you’, which was the most devastating news of all as there clearly WAS something horribly wrong, we just could not identify it.

 

Eventually, I was diagnosed with Chronic Lyme Disease which was great news as I finally had a reason to feel so ill. That was until I realised that there is no real recognised treatment and I was once again left to trying to navigate debilitating symptoms alone. More doctors, more tests, protocol after debilitating protocol and plenty of ‘ah ha’ moments later I finally started to heal. It was quite the journey and I have learnt a lot about what treatments are out there, and perhaps more importantly, the body’s amazing capacity to heal. I am now in a position where I want to help others to reclaim their health.
