Surgery (March 2020)
For those that don't know I was admitted to hospital after a few weeks of excruciating pain in my left ovary and required urgent surgery.
My cyst was removed 17th March 2020.
My consultant informed me that the cyst had ruptured and had welded itself to my colon and left ovary. He removed the white ruptured cyst cleaned me up. but could not see any signs of Endometriosis or PCOS due to inflammation.
I was in two minds about attaching photographs of my ruptured cyst and decided against it.
Thank you to all my friends and family who sent get well messages.
Plastic Free July 2020
My Goals This Year
This is my second year supporting Plastic Free July.
I made a positive start last year and am continuing to reduce my plastic consumption by focusing on reusable and circular products that are easily available in Dubai.
I hope to reduce my consumption of menstrual hygiene and cleaning products and learn how to make my own soap, body wash, bread, conditioner and compost my waste..
It will be a long work in progress.
I hope to continue with Plastic Free July as long as I physically can.
Thank you for reading my blog and supporting a world with less plastic and zero waste.
Love, peace and blessings...
