I just wanted to quickly apologise for the lack of outfit posts I've been bringing you lately. I've gone from posting them a few times a week to barely at all. It's not because I've lost my outfit blogging mojo- in fact I've been dying to share outfits with you as I love to- it's just sadly my back has been having other ideas.
My back injuries are like a hand holding the strings. They control my every move. I may by desperate to leap out of bed, get dolled up, cut my tethers and leave the confines of my home to live a normal life- to live, not just exist- but in reality, I can't. The hand pulls me back
The pain in my spine and lower back from my disc injuries has been constant these last fourteen months; constant seering hot pain I never knew was possible. I have a high pain threshold, but after fourteen months the pain still overwhelms me to the point I often feel like I might pass out. I try to push myself through it, and get about when I can, but the majority of my life is now spent in bed just trying to get through to the next day. Nothing, not painkillers nor exercises, has brought me any relief or improvement as yet. I can do little more than lie on my side and read, surf the net, or blog with shaking hands to keep my mind busy for another day. I've become a slave to painting my nails to brighten up each day, and retain a little piece of normality.
In the last few months the pain has been almost intolerable. I've been unable to get dressed and pose for photos to blog with. The handful of times I have dressed, I've looked too dishevelled with hair scraped back, tired skin, and little energy for posing. I was hoping to change that last week as I had to leave the house for four appointments in five days. Seriously, I had no appointments for two whole months and four come along in the space of five days! I'm sure going to the dentist, hospital, Doctor's surgery, and a medical assessment in the same week is cruel and unusual punishment! Needless to say, I was struggling after the first one, and a right sorry state by the last, so I wasn't able to blog about what I wore.
I'm still recovering from it all, but I hope I can get back to outfit blogging soon. I'm sorry that it's all a bit sporadic at the moment, but I will continue to post other types of fashion and beauty posts to fill the void in the mean time. If there's something you'd love me to blog about, just let me know.
I hope you can understand, and I just wanted to say thank you for sticking with me through my erratic, unreliable postings!
no need to apologise louise, your health and wellbeing is always a priority. when you do post you always put in 100% effort and i'd rather read fewer posts with loads of effort put in than loads with little interesting content. your blog is consistently wonderful, don't worry about letting us down because you're not, just focus on getting yourself through each day :) xxx
ReplyDeleteAw thanks for such a lovely message Hannah. You're so nice. I put a lot of time and effort in, but sometimes I just feel I'm not giving you guys posts you want to see. xxx
DeleteOh lady, don't apologise. So sorry to hear how much you are suffering, I can't imagine what you must be going through. Just concentrate on getting better, I agree with Hannah, your blog is lovely so you don't need to worry about posting all the time. Hugs xx
ReplyDeleteThanks for such a lovely message Linz. I'm okay but I just feel that I'm not able to bring you all posts you want to see, but your kind words have reassured me. Thanks again xx
DeleteDon't apologise lovely no one that comes here to read would expect an outfit post every day we like the posts you do and if your feeling well enough to do a ootd then that's fab but never feel bad for not doing them! Big cuddles I really hope you can get your back sorted soon xx
ReplyDeleteThanks for leaving me such a lovely message. I really do have the nicest blog friends. I'll do my best to bring OOTD's when I can, but you've all made me feel more reassured. Thanks lovely xx
