As some of you may have realised lately, I've spent a fair bit of time making BFFs with the hospital. Back in May I had a
bunch of tests and scans done which found my small bowel was rolling up on itself. So, in August
off I went to have it fixed. Since then I've slowly been getting sicker. At first I thought it was just my body complaining about the operation, but a little over a week ago I landed myself in hospital again - this time with pancreatitis. I was in hospital for a week in crazy amounts of pain. I have had pancreatitis before, back in 2007, and we couldn't figure out what the cause was, but this time the specialists finally figure it out! It would seem my pancreatic duct doesn't work properly, and spasms when I take anything stronger than paracetamol. So, all the times I've taken codeine for my stomach pain I've actually been slowly making it worse. Whoops!
I'm back home now, slowly recovering and trying to catch up on everything I missed. I've been away from work for almost five weeks, so going back will be fun (not). On the upside, I lost 10kg while I was in hospital! There is a silver lining to everything, my friends.
And, because I can't help myself, I Instagrammed my stay.
I finally got to see the city views from my room on the morning I went home!
And speaking of silver linings, here is the best news I have had in ages. I won a meet and greet with Hanson!! I am beyond excited. They have been my favourite band for 15 years! Yay!
Still cheering you on as always my girl. Very happy for you to be able to realise a dream with the Hanson meet and greet! When/where is it happening?
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear about your health issues. As someone who spends her fair share in the hospital, I can relate. I have liver disease, so I am constantly going through tests, appointments, and hospital stays. I really hope that things get better for you soon. Sending tons of prayers and good vibes!

ReplyDeleteOh Jasmine you have had such a rough trot but I guess the upside is that they are finally figuring out what is going on. Do you know when you have to go back to work? I cannot believe you won a meet and greet with Hanson that is beyond awesome. I found some other clothes that I was going to send you so stop losing weight hehe.
ReplyDeleteWow exciting! Congratulations! Yay for Hanson and Popsicles! I'm sorry to hear that things have been tough, I have my fingers crossed for you xoxox
ReplyDeleteWow - everything at once for you girl! I hope you feel tonnes better soon!
ReplyDeleteI hope that from now on you will feel 100%, now that they've solved some problems on why you're sick. I love that you took photos of yourself in the hospital - silly girl ;) And how exciting is Hanson! When is this all going down? So happy for you, love!
ReplyDeleteI hope you are feeling better and that you will keep feeling even better. How cool is it that you will meet Hanson! So excited for you.
ReplyDeleteyou poor thing!!! i'm sorry...speedy recovery, ok?
ReplyDeleteHi Jasmine! So sorry to hear that you have been ill and in pain! But I'm so glad to hear that the cause has been found and that you're slowly on the mend! And a silver lining is always a great thing to have :-D
ReplyDeleteSo excited to hear that you won the meet and greet too!

Even though it doesn't sounds like you've had the best 5 weeks ever I'm glad they figured it all out, not knowing is usually the worst part! And I'm really glad you're feeling better and I hope you'll be back on track soon!
ReplyDeleteTake care Jasmine! //Niina
exciting about Hanson! I am so sorry to hear you've been struggling. I've been there and sometimes worry I'll be "back" there so I just have to say hang in there and keep at it, trying to get to the bottom of it. I sincerely hope the worst is behind you :)
ReplyDeleteWow, you will meet your favorite band, how great is that?!
ReplyDeleteSo I was about to say get well soon, you know, all that jazz, but I think a meet and greet with Hanson totally trumps that!!!! That is amazing, I don't know if I'd be able to keep myself off Taylor, my inner 15 year old would be purring at him and trying to stroke him hair hahaha!! I went to see them a few years ago when I lived in London and they are still amazing, how fun :) I'm so excited for you.
ReplyDeletereally though, do get better soon, you'll need your energy for adoring them in person! :)
Gosh. You are such a hero girl. Hope you will take the time to recover from everything!! Big hugs from overseas.
ReplyDeleteOh Lord, my fan-girling heart is SO jealous! I have loved Hanson since MmmmBop. I totally still love them and have seen them in concert 3 times. But meeting them!? Now THAT is a dream come true!
ReplyDeleteI hope you continue to feel better and better!
