Happy Mother's Day (Finally...!!!)

I haven't posted in a long time, I've simply not been able to.

My mother died very suddenly in August and that turned our lives upside down, and I had spent much of the time since then between running on auto-pilot, and trying to make some sense of how this could have happened. Shock, loss, grief, it hits you in a way that you could never imagine, and when you least expect it.

I've never made a secret of the fact that Mother's Day has been the most difficult day of the year for me for many many years, and I was especially dreading Mother's Day this year, because not only would I be grieving for our 10 little angels, but not being able to spend it with my own mother... I truly didn't know how I would cope.


Well then..... this happened.......



On the 13th of January, Patrick and I were officially approved as foster parents and on the 27th, we got a call to say that there was a newborn baby girl still in hospital that needed a loving home. I spent 2 nights in hospital with her in a cot beside my bed, and then we brought her home. 

Our lives have been super busy since. I have taken extended leave from work and am enjoying every single second with this perfect little lady (even the endless night feeds :-) ). 

And the best Mother's Day present ever....... she slept all night last night for the first time...!!!

  10. I have suffered from adenomyosis with severe cramps during and after my period. It was very painful and heavy bleeding and severe lower back pain my pain was unbearable to a point of being not able to move and a stabbing like pain on the left of my ovaries. Pain goes away when a clot comes out. But it took a while for the clot to come out. After several meetings with my gynaecologist which she suggested "Hysterectomy" but I refused I know what Hysterectomy is and how heart aching it can be then she stated that Allopathic treatment will help in pain management but it will not cure the disease. I started treatment with a drug named "endoheal 2 mg". This gave me pain relief but reduced my periods almost to no periods with numerous side effects - spotting and fluctuation in my dates. I was not mentally satisfied to bear the side effects so I came across ''Ayurvedic doctor" who started my treatment with herbs. Though I continued above drug 'endoheal 2 mg'" parallel for nine months for easy pain management. From then I continued taking the treatment. It reduced the size of my lesion but did not reduce it further after few months. And there was no relief in pain during menstruation but my Dr. Advised me to continue it during 3 months without any gap. I had noticed a quick ageing of my skin in the last 2 years. I am a smoker but for some reason I feel my quick ageing has to do with something else because I have been smoking for a long time and it's only recently that I noticed a fast decline of my skin elasticity. After then pain radiates very badly in my left leg, lower left back and left side of my vagina. The pain normally start anytime during 3, 5,6 days, but at time I had to take a painkiller for this also as it irritates whole day. Then pain disappears after fews day. My digestion was slow but Dr. Ronnie's supplements has improved it impossible situations is becoming possible miracles gradually.

    I was lucky to read in the internet about a lady who was cured from Adenomyosis through Herbal Medication. I contacted Ronnie through an email address I got from a testimony shared on the internet. Without further delay I made an order, I switched over to it. I had great breakthrough, that in the first month, I was already testifying of the effective of the Herbal medication. After 3months course of taken the medicine, all symptoms were gone. It has been 1 year and four months since I became free from adenomyosis. Anyone who is not in my position would not understand what I went through, the heart break, the pain and how frustrated I was for 6 odd years. Believe me, it was hell. I am so happy; I never believed I will be this happy again in life. My story is quite lengthy, it might help you too. You may contact Dr. Ronnie to know more via his email on. ronniemd70@gmail.com
