Evening Everypawdy 🐾🐾
We had a few lubbery days away wiv Mum & Dad at the lakes 🥰

Mums been so poorly lately we didn’t fink we’d get to go as Mum & Dad planned and booked it just after Christmas before mum became unwell.

They have funny looking squirrels 🐿️ and they weren’t scared of us 😳

Hello my wonderful sled dog family 👋
I know I’m not around atm but I want you to know I’m fighting really hard through all the pain. I’m not going to lie I have my bad days when I pray to anyone upstairs listening to please let me catch my breath for just a moment and I’m sure many out there can relate to that.

It’s been another week of hospitals dental surgeons and tests, so more poking and prodding to add to the pain, but that’s ok, as it’s only going to confirm or not confirm what the specialists suspect is going on.

This June will mark a year ago I contracted GBS suddenly, the cause? likely extreme stress and I get it and that’s on me as I took on something I wouldn’t wish on another living soul not even my worst enemy. I let my heart lead and in doing so it came at an incredible cost to my health, my family and all because I loved so deeply.

What’s done is done and if anything it has taught me some very valuable lessons in life, some of which I kind of knew already but again your heart wants you to see the good even though you know there isn’t any.

Gillian Barre Syndrome has taken so much over the last 10 months and it is still taking from me but every day I push myself to walk my pups and to make sure I fight it.

This month we had big plans to do a sponsored mountain hike up Helvellyn in the Lake District to help the pups in need, but life has other plans for us atm, but we did get to the lakes to switch off from drs, hospitals and if truth be told I could have stayed away forever. I didn’t miss my phone, the internet it was just us and the wilderness.

Next month I’m having more procedures and the diary is just hospitals and specialists but it’s all good and it’s all going to be ok whatever the outcome.

I miss you guys a lot, I want you to know I am fighting hard and I’m going to do my best to get the springtime funds pot draw done and get the other funds sent, after that I’m not sure what will happen for a little while fundraising wise😔

We miss you all and I will continue to keep you all updated as best I can.

The man in the photo is Craig my absolute rock with of course our NH Pups Kibou & Freedom 💚🖤

Thank you all so much for your kindness over the last couple of months I may have said goodbye to my cake making career of 14 years which has been hard😢
I may have said goodbye to other things that was so easily done but through it all I’ve remained true to who I am and what i believe in.

NH will continue for many more years to come I hope and that makes me so happy.
Helping the pups just fills my heart with joy and happiness and not helping them I feel like something is missing at times.
They are the reason so many of us do what we do, it’s something we can’t fully explain but it completes us🥰

Keep being amazing guys 💚🖤

Good morning everyone 👋
I hope you are all well and good?

I’m sorry for my silence lately but my health took a deep dive and I’ve been in and out of different hospitals over recent weeks.

5 weeks ago my symptoms became a concern and I was placed on a cancer pathway as drs suspected cancer of the head and neck😢 thankfully after many invasive procedures and tests I’m thrilled to say it’s not cancer.
when my results came clear of cancer I was signed off from the NHS and told to return to my GP regarding my symptoms if they continued.

Since then we have once again had to go private to get to the bottom of what’s going on with my body and what’s causing me to be so unwell.
I am now under a Maxillofacial specialist/surgeon who is running some tests that the NHS didn’t do regarding my head and neck pain.

I am resting up after a small minor surgical procedure I had on Tuesday in Birmingham hospital and I’m currently on antibiotics which are making me pretty rough and I’m doing my best to keep taking to finish the course but it’s not easy living in the bathroom.

I have a few more minor procedures next month so I’m going to be silent for a little while yet as I focus on my health.

At the start of this year we were planning so much after everything we have had thrown our way over the last 4 years, but sometimes life has other plans for us and we have to pause even though we really don’t want to.😔

After contracting Gillian Barre Syndrome last year specialists are not sure if this latest issue is linked. All I know is I have been in one of the most horrendous battles with my health over the last year, there have been times, I’ve wanted the pain to stop so badly, I’ve just wanted to give up fighting and I’m no quieter, I’m as stubborn as they come. But I have dragged myself out my bed and pushed on with my little training sessions to prevent my bone condition deteriorating even more. The picture you can see is one my grandson drew me when I had surgery on my hand around 5 years ago he said your strong like captain America 🥰 and even on my most difficult days it makes me fight cause he deserves a Nanna that is willing to never give up.💪

I have missed you all and I’ve wanted to keep you all updated but I’m also being trolled on social media so I have literally stopped using it and have just focused on myself and the health journey I’m on.

As you can imagine it’s been rough on my little family especially Craig 😢 he is my rock and I am so truly blessed he’s one in a million and I’m so proud of him and the journey he is on 🥰

Our pups routine has had to change at times so it’s not been easy on them either and it has caused issue with Freedom as he does not cope with home routines being changed. 🤦‍♀️

I wish this wasn’t happening and I wish I had a timeline for when it will all come to an end, but sadly not even the specialists have the answers yet. All I do know is after 3 months of unimaginable pain and symptoms, I’m finally getting help for it.

I’d like to take a moment to thank everyone who has reached out with messages of concern and I’m sorry I’ve not replied to you all as I said I’m being trolled so I’ve taken a break from all social media platforms not because of the trolls just because I’m focusing on my health.
Not having daily interactions with you guys makes my life very hard at times and I feel very distant from the sled dog pack😢 but I know with true grit and determination I can beat whatever this is.

I have overcome so much and this is just another hurdle to make me stronger, but to also help me remember it’s ok to put yourself first and that’s something I’m still having a hard time learning to do.

I miss you all very much, give your pups big cuddles for me and I promise I’m fighting hard and I will be back soon to help the pups in need.
In the meantime I am keeping track of all donations including Kibou & Freedoms £1 monthly donations.

Take care my sled dog family and I will be back soon. 💚🖤
