Hey Guys, Life is so good right now.... I went and had lunch with Mamma today and with mothers day on Sunday it was a well earned catch up and D&M session... I ALWAYS love seeing my Mamma it helps to sort crap in my head! (And yes guys she reads her adoptive daughter like a good novel) Always can tell when I try and hide something or something is bugging me... WE have this AWESOME bond and she will forever be Mamma and I KNOW that I WILL ALWAYS be Mamma Cheryl and Wayne's daughter and Nanna Dot's grand daughter.... we spend two hours doing coffee and talking about what It was see in my future.... And Mamma sees just how much love is in my life and excited for things to come for me and things in the pipe line for not only myself but her also as my adoptive mother....

Born this way

Hi Everyone, I'm so very sorry that I havent blogged in ages.... I spent yet another month in hospital! Orginally admitted for a massive head spin that saw me lose the ability to stand, balance, walk or crawl my Baclofen was withheld for a number of days and as a result the severe spasms that I have showed their ugly head as well as something else..... After being transferred to a sydney hospital for investigation it was found that I have a psychological form of epilepsy and go through something known as Pseudoseizues. This means that if my body gets too stress out or experiences something overwhelming or traumatic it can set off a seizure.....

THANK YOU!

Still seems funny to say!!! I know that I have done all the hard yards in order to get t...
