Life: taking a breather

Hi everyone!

I had hoped I didn't have to write this post because although my blog is quite personal there is a lot that I like to keep private. I rarely share big personal things even on social media with people I know, never mind with people I don't know! But sometimes being cagey and secretive can spark more interest so I thought I would write a short post today to explain that I will be taking a bit of a break from it all for the next month or so.

Earlier this week I had surgery that had been planned for absolute ages. It wasn't for anything life threatening and was meant to be a laparoscopic procedure (keyhole) and have a relatively quick recovery. However, on Wednesday the surgeon had to open up, which means that my recovery is going to be longer and more painful. Everything went really well, I was discharged from hospital this morning and have my lovely mum as my private nurse making me as comfortable as possible, so all is good! I'm obviously very sore and not very mobile but I'm told I'll feel a lot better after two weeks and the doctors were really happy with my recovery in the past few days. I'll also take the opportunity to give a shoutout to the staff at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford. I've had the best nurses who've been so funny, good humoured and supportive, as well as my fab roommates who I enjoyed my late night chats with.

For the past few months I've seen the blog develop and I'm gutted to take a break now because I'm really happy with how everything is right now. It feels as though people may forget about it if I don't post regularly but right now I need to focus on resting, getting lots of sleep and watching lots and lots of TV! Who knows, I might even catch up with Game of Thrones!

I'll be back as soon as I feel fit and healthy. In the mean time, feel free to take a look at earlier posts and if you'd like to know when my next post is up, make sure you follow me on social media (all links are on the side).

See you all very soon!
