Whine Whine Whine

I think I shall firstly give a brief summary of events in chronological order up until yesterday. 

I fell ill; at first it was assumed I had but a mere kidney stone, however, further investigation revealed an acute kidney infection. I had to take lots of medication, which made me VERY ill. I was given the news that I possible could have kidney disease and had blood tests done. I made a new friend though… the bucket. 

At the height of my illness I received a notification that my ex-partner wants to lessen my time with my son. There was no reasonable explanation. She told me she wanted more custody as a means to receive more money from the government. I was very miserable. I said NO! You must understand that I love my son dearly and would not have him spend more time with someone that only wants to use him as a paycheck. I wish with all my being that she loved him and cared for him as I do, alas I fear for Sammy that this may never be the case.

The very next day I received a phone call from John Hunter Hospital explaining my mother had been admitted and was riddled with tumors. By this stage I felt as though the entire world was closing in around me. I couldn’t speak with her for she was dosed up on medication. I dearly love my mother. She is such a strong woman and to see her like that was disconcerting to say the least.

I received my test results and they were inconclusive. More medication.

Sam’s pre-school wanted me to attend a parent teacher interview to discuss Sam’s progress. I was too ill to travel but I managed it for my Sammy. Everything went well and I enrolled him for next year. This actually worked out well, as my ex-partner didn’t want to have to pay for it and realized that if I had Sammy for the majority of time that I would have to pay for it. I have Sam a bit more than 50% now, which is wonderful.

This is where thing began to improve.

My mother woke up from her drug-induced state and was allowed go home, although she was still on very high doses of medication. She was to return in four weeks for an operation to remove the majority of the tumors.

My kidney infection began to improve and my medications were downscaled. I had eaten hardly anything up until this point and had lost over 10kg. It felt good to be able to eat again.

Then again I fell ill but not quite as bad as last time. This time I had an impacted and abscessed wisdom tooth. My tooth gave me headaches and a middle ear infection. MORE MEDICATION! MORE ILLNESS!

It took nearly two weeks to shake the infection but it finally subsided. Only problem is the dentist gave me too much medication and it conflicted with my other medication with in turn gave me another infection, which I am currently still trying to shake.

My mother has just had her operation and is still very ill.

I have been having fun with Sammy, well as much fun as one can have whilst they are ill.

Jezamay has been very supportive and I truly love her for always being there through everything. I would also like to thank Adriane my good German friend for always being ready to give morale-boosting advice.
