The Liebster Blog Award



Today I had a notification to say I had been given The Liebster Blog Award by another blogger and a fellow brave endosister. I will be 100% honest and say I had no idea of what this award meant. After reading the link I was sent I am so grateful to be thought by Endo Joanna from Living With Endo when she was compiling her five favourite blogs for this award.

 Liebster is a German word which means "dearest" or "beloved". It is also used to refer to someone's "favorite" and the idea of the Liebster Blog Award is to bring attention to blogs with less than 200 followers that deserve more recognition and encouragement.

 I started this blog to help raise awareness of endometriosis. When I was diagnosed I felt so alone and wanted to speak to other people who were going through the same things as me. Twitter and this blog allowed me to do this. I never actually thought others would care to read my blog or my thoughts, it was initially a place to voice what I was feeling. To know that people read my blog and can find some similarities and comfort that they are not alone means so much to me.

 Here are the rules:
1. Thank the giver of the award and link back to their blog!
2. Select 5 of your top bloggers & let them know by leaving a comment on their blog!
3. Paste the award on your blog!

Here are my 5 choices for the Liebster Blog Award. Please take a moment to read their blogs when you get a chance. I believe they all provide such honest information and thoughts on their daily life, struggles and successes. All very brave women. The last blog I have referred to also provides updates on research in endo and further links which I think is an interesting read and would recommend.

 1. Endo Journey from Endometriosis: The Journey Of A Woman Warrior
2. Begining To Endo from Explore The Journey: From Beginning To End..Ometriosis
3. Foxy from Foxy In The Waiting Room
4. Me Inside And Out from Me Inside And Out
5. Matthew Rosser from Endometriosis Update

Endometriosis: Post op

Ok, so I thought I should update you all after my operation on Tuesday.  I have a lot of mixed emotions after the laparoscopy though and I promise to fill you all in soon. I'm sure many of you have felt the same way I'm feeling now so I will post in the near future about all the details. Sharing information is the best way to know we're not alone in this. But for the moment, I'm just getting my head around things and concentrating on recovery. UPDATED: Endometriosis was found in my ovaries as expected and removed. It was also found on my bowel, but it was left untreated. #MyEndoDiary ♡

Endometriosis And New Beginnings

I know I won't be alone in these thoughts on this subject.. Endometriosis and a new relationship..  What do you tell them? How much do you tell them? When do you bring it up?  A million questions have been overloading my mind lately as I start a new chapter in my life. The last few weeks have been a bit of a whirlwind for me. A good one! But, fast moving, exciting and terrifying all at once. The scariest part of it all is how endometriosis will impact everything. Right now, it is behaving. But we all know how quickly that changes. I don't want my life revolving around Endo. It has taken over way too much of it already! Now, I have started enjoying my life again, I'm terrified it will be snatched away to pain once again. I have shared The Spoon Theory with my new boyfriend, who was extremely understanding about it. Which actually made me feel so much at ease. I have explained a few of the symptoms. He knows I get 'bad days' and that i'll need rest ...

Endometriosis: 3rd Time Lucky?

August 25th. This will be the date of my next operation. My third. I have waited 12 months to get this date. Then, out of the blue, I receive a letter from the hospital. With only 12 days notice. In a way, that's good. Less time to stress. But for me, I'll stress no matter what. I'll just cram a year of waiting into 12 days of worry. I'm now down to 7 days. This time next week... Some people may think that knowing what will happen and how the day pans out etc, will be a benefit. A comfort perhaps. For me, it's the complete opposite. I know how emotional I will get. I know the feelings of panic, anxiousness and nervousness will build up. I know at certain points they'll peak and I'll break down. Just before I'm due to go down to theatre I'm guaranteed to start crying. The fear takes over and there's nothing I can do at that point but just trust the doctors and nurses. But that's normal I guess. Third time around, it will not be any ...
