September, I missed you!

I love September and I've nearly missed the whole month in a blurred haze of medical mayhem. There were some highs amongst the lows, including a certain someone's birthday party.

(I didn't check permission to post the photo from the other moms and dads, hence the fuzzed out faces). Yes, that's a real life, ginormous snake weighing about 14 stone. It got closer and closer to the ground as their little arms got tired!

If you're a DMTV viewer then you'll know I've been out of action just lately. I've not been at all myself for quite a while now, but you know how it is, you just keep going and and think you'll start to feel better in the morning. Well, collapsing and taking an ambulance ride with paramedics to the hospital put pay to that. Turns out I'm very, very anaemic. We're not sure why yet, so there are lots of fun tests to come, but in the meantime they pepped me up with a blood transfusion because my levels were pretty much on the floor.

Many of you have emailed and sent cards to wish me a speedy recovery and I just wanted to say a huge thank you. It is lovely to read all the messages and feel all that positive energy. But especially I want to thank people who give blood. I'm not sure I would be feeling very well at all without the transfusion so if you're one of the wonderful people who takes time out of their life to go and give blood, then thank you. Thank you very, very much!

The doctors have to find the reason for the anaemia, fix it and then it'll be a while till I'm fully better. For now it's the end of burning the midnight oil, I'm resting and taking it easy, but each day I'm feeling less tired and more like my old self. I'm getting bored, so I know I must be getting better!

Hopefully it won't be long till I'm back working and blogging.

Thanks again for following and for all your love and concern.

Laura
