30 years of battling for health
For 46 years, despite innumerable tests, a very large CDH (bochdalek hernia) was missed
30 years of dismissive doctors and a few unicorn doctors who helped along the way
30 years of flow on impact and autoimmune issues
6 months of knowing something more (than my usual) was wrong
2 months of worrying what it was
February a Professor discovers my birth defect
3 months of trying to understand what it means for me now
3 months of healing wounds that took 30 years to establish and learning to forgive
3 months of resenting, reliving, feeling bitter for words spoken to me about my “illness”
Months of doctors visits, searching for peace, investing in my family, cooking and making sour dough
3 months of learning to hand it all to Him: to lean not on my own understanding but in all ways acknowledge Him and he will make my paths straight.
3 months of surrendering an unknown future to the only one who knows it
A few weeks of finding my way back into the light and back into my art
3 canvases to play with colours that bring me joy
Countless bible verses that keep me on the path of hope
Many flowers that make me happy, inspired by my wacky garden
3 Willy wag tails that greeted me while on a walk, when my mind and body were struggling
