Sacrifices

The reason I have taken this not so flattering photo of me is because this is the very last picture of me with a pierced tongue.

It is sore and has a lump in it, I have been putting up with it for the last couple of months but enough is enough.

My white cell count is lowerer again now, every inch of me is hurting and my body is under a lot of stress trying to fight to stay well, so this is another sacrifice I am making to try and be healthier and take away any thing that may cause more infection.

I could have done my hair put makeup on had a lovely background and posed.

Would it be any more flattering with my tongue out (I doubt it) sooo I just took it.

This is me looking not so beautiful but hey, this is a monumental occasion also, first my hair and now my tongue piercing. Bit by bit I am letting go of trying to control everything and accept the changes I have to make on this journey. I can admit that its hard, reluctantly, but still, I admit to it so thats a big step for me and I am trying to embrace these changes and accept the process. There are two other piercings that will have to go also but I am not posting a picture of those (smile) It feels strange not having but hey its a small price to pay for feeling better.

So the news from my Doc- My white cell count is lower again but on the bright side, I am coping with the staph infection that is back and I am no worse off than I have been reallllly, so its still day by day and week by week.

Emotionally I am good, physically I am coping and so as far as I'm concerned its all good guys.

I am still smiling I feel blessed to have made it this far and its working.

Peace and Health Everyone xxx
