Today is my 51st birthday 12 months ago I wasn’t diagnosed with grade 5 melanoma, but it was there. I wasn’t diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, but all the symptoms were there. I was married, he left me after 27 years. BUT life is good, I’m happy.

I’m having lunch today with the man I was married to for 27 years. The man who walked out when I needed him the most. I’m not looking forward to it, for some reason I felt the need to put some makeup on and look decent.

Dating when you have a chronic medical issue like MS is difficult. Finding your worth after 27 years of marriage and being discarded is difficult. I’m for ever worried that I’m not good enough, I have little to offer. I over think, I push people away.

My Multiple sclerosis update. I now walk 7-10,000 steps a day. Not bad for someone discharged 18 months ago with a walker. I watch what I eat, I limit sugar and preservatives, I’m not perfect, still love a wine. 1/3

Guess what chickie babe is being discharged from hospital on Friday ?? This one. Yesterday I walked 10,000 steps. I still have the NDIS paperwork to do and the purchase of a few walking aids. But I feel like an old Holden that someone has found in a paddock and done up.

It’s rare I have a rant. But here it goes. I have MS, every month I inject myself with a variation of chemotherapy, it hopefully will enable me to keep walking and functioning. I’m immunosuppressed and Im over those are against vaccinations that don’t giving a shit about others.

Painted these rocks for the group of people I walk on the beach daily. It’s a symbol of our bond and love for each other. The rocks were found on ‘our beach’ all different shapes and sizes but all connected, like the people that they are for.

Today I found out my MS has not progressed in 12 months. I have 3 lesions on my brain, the MRI showed no new lesions. The Kesimpta injections are doing their job. I need to ensure this magic medication that suppresses my immune isn’t allowing the melanoma cells to reappear.

Since my diagnosis of #MS I’ve done my best to appreciate and enjoy life. I have a much different approach. I’m selective on who I spend time with and are trying to be gentle on myself. Fatigue is real and so are the crazy emotions. I felt good last night.

Everyone is posting their bikini shots and I thought I’d post mine. It is a few years ago and kinda explains why I had a melanoma. I use to walk with my dog to a nice spot, have a skinny dip and down a can of Bundy I tied in my sarong.
