My Journey... every step of the way.: Life with Becky

For life's little ups and downs.

A rather quirky, funny and sometimes daunting look in to the life of someone who has a lot of health problems but does their best to keep positive. Punctuated by guinea pigs, anime, superheroes, transforming robots and cross stitching.

I started this blog to tell my story, about who I am and what I do. On top of the health problems and raising awareness for those, I also use my blog as a way to help promote other causes, particularly ones which affect the most vulnerable. I live with a number of different and complex health problems but I refuse to let anything get me down. I know how it feels to be discriminated against or thrown aside. This is me. This is my life. I live it and do what I want with it. Nature sets the limitations. We set the boundaries.

About Me:

A blog about life. I live with Type 1 Brittle Asthma, Bi-Polar Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder as well as Various Allergies, Neutropenia, Crohns Disease (my IBS was rediagnosed as Crohns), Osteo and Rheumatoid Arthritis, PCOS and Osteoporosis and Heredetary Spastic Paraplegia. I have recently also been diagnosed with Sleep Apnea (which makes me stop breathing in my sleep) I live with these conditions, but I refuse to let them keep me down and out. I still try and make the most of my days despite being so poorly and having to rely on my wheelchair, nebulisers, nearly 50 pills a day and 2l/min of oxygen and CPAP.

I'll flap my broken wings and erase it all someday... You'll see.

Life with Becky

Life with Becky has been brilliant. We have both been here for 2 weeks now and its been absolutely awesome. I mean we had some minor teething problems to start with, with Becky not living away from home before and me well, being a solitary creature at the best of times, its been something of a learning curve for both of us. For me, I have had to learn that allowing people to help me is not a sign of weakness, more a sign that I am accepting that I so have some limitations and sometimes I do need help with things.

I also noticed that one person in particular keeps talking on their blog about something that happened in the past. Something very personal and an event where I was hurt more than anyone else would ever be able to comprehend, unless of course you have experienced these things. They are not anyone else's affair and they are not to be used frivolously or discussed by anyone other than myself. I do not want my past printed up on the internet in such a way and if this does continue I will be seeking legal council as it is a clear violation of my rights as a human being to have privacy. Furthermore as only myself and the people who did those things to me are the only people who know what happened, and I do not wish to discuss it here as it is frankly not something I want people seeing on the internet. Its not clever, its not funny and it is none of anyone else's business.

Now that I have cleared that matter up, I can now focus on the positives recently. Well recently I changed my look, dropped a bit more weight and have been spending time with my 5 chunky lads. Oh and I have someone very special who has come in to my life, I'll be seeing Jace soon and I can't wait. I think it may be very safe to say that this Wendy is smitten and happy about it. I can't wait until I have bright blue hair and a huge smile on my face, when the rash (caused by a viral infection and mild allergy to something) calms down, I will take more pictures, but for now, I will leave you with a picture of me and Becky when we were happily walking around a few days ago.

Loves
Wendy xx

So, what is this blog?

This is a blog about my life and what I do. Sometimes its witty and others it can be quite serious, but I feel that sometimes the steps you take in life are the building blocks for the future. I try and at least keep a positive outlook on things because sometimes that can be enough to get you through. So, come and delve in to this crazy, spontaneous and sometimes scary world of mine.

Named as one of Healthline's best Asthma blogs of 2013, 2014, 2015 AND 2016.
