Pregnancy & EUPD
Hello Everyone, I thought I would come on here and give you guys an update on what's happened in life so far. Back in February, we found out I was pregnant with our first. It was a shock to my system, I tell you that. We started talking about it properly back in late December, early January. After looking at different donors and speaking to them, we found one.

My Surgery for Hidradenitis Suppurativa
Hello Everyone. Recently I underwent surgery 3 weeks ago for my Hidradenitis Suppurativa. I had it done at St Thomas' in London. This was a massive step for me, I was referred for this surgery back in April/ May time of this year. I had a consultation with the lead surgeon around 2 weeks after my referral, which I thought was great.

How I deal with Hidradenitis Suppurativa
Hello Everyone; I hope you are all doing well and keeping safe. I am so sorry for not posting for such a long time. I have only recently gone back to work after taking 3 weeks off for my mental health. Before I went back to work they informed me that I would be doing wake nights instead of day shifts. So I have had to completely change my sleeping pattern. I am having to stay awake from 8 pm until 8 am so I am not sleeping properly during the day which is why I haven't had the motivation to post. To be honest I haven't had the motivation to do anything recently.

My update for Hidradenitis Suppurativa
Hello Everyone; I just wanted to update you all on how my life has been going living with Hidradenitis Suppurativa Recently I have been to a specialist appointment in London with the Hidradenitis Suppurativa Clinic at Guy's Hospital near London Bridge. My appointment was Monday 15th February at 8:45 am. Making my way to the appointment took 1 hour and 10 minutes. The appointment went really well, I went into the appointment with a poor mindset, I wasn't expecting to come out of the appointment. I was expecting them to tell me that they are just going to put me back on antibiotics and tell me that I have to take them and hope for the best.

1 year later
Well, it has been a very eventful year, to say the least. My partner and I have been guardians of my sister for a full year now. There have been many ups and a slight equal amount of downs. She has fully adapted to living with us and we have also grown to adapt to living with a teenager. We never thought this would happy but I am grateful that it has happened. I have had to grow up so much over this year, I am thankful to her because of this.
