Just when you think there can’t be any more health drama I’ve been in actual survival mode since my surgery 😂

First of all after the surgery I just kept getting more and more ill and genuinely thought I was getting sepsis because I was having the worst headaches of my life and feeling ill and had a weird smell in my nose after surgery- turned out they use packing sponge during surgery that’s meant to stop bleeding and naturally disintegrate but somehow it didnt and was stuck up my beak causing pressure and rank ness 😂 it’s eventually come out now thankfully and is fine

But then I had my liver biopsy I was due and all was ok with it after a few days, so I decide last minute to book a wee trip to Aberdeen with Holly and hubby since we have done basically nothing in the holidays and low and behold I end up at A&E in Aberdeen for hours and hours and hours because I started getting agony liver pains and had a ct scan and I then had a bleed from the biopsy 6 days after it which is so rare 😩so blood was getting trapped in it and it pushes on your liver capsule and causes stabbing pains.

They are happy it’s not active and just have to wait it out to go away on its own and I leave and then go home to Fife and then start becoming really short of breath even when the pain was controlled so then spent hours an hours and hours at Victoria to make sure I didn’t have a clot in my lung because I have a blood clotting disorder, I had also had 2 surgeries and not been as mobile recently from them things so massive red flag for that😭

Finally got fast tracked to dvt clinic this morning , I don’t have a clot thank god but the scan showed that the biopsy bleeding situation causesd irritation to my diaphragm which then makes your lungs not beable to work at full capacity which is why I’m breathless 😳

Luckily though it’s not dangerous and it gets better ones own when the blood has absorbed.

But I’ve had basically no sleep over last 2 days and I feel like I can’t breathe and I feel like I’ve been stabbed ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Surely that’s it like 😂😂😂😂

I cannie be doing with anymore hospitals ffs

On the upside I was chatting to so many lovely other patients lastnight and also nurses so it wasn’t all terrible

I’m just fuming I missed my premier inn brekkie though 😂😂😂😂

Surely I got to get better now 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

Finally home from my sinus surgery btw 😂😂😂it sounds actually dramatic as it’s just my sinuses but the pain is so awful I actually begged them to keep me over night because I felt so unwell, and in the middle of the night I was sick in my bed and had to sit in my pants when my bed got changed haha!! They kept giving me paracetamol that was actually doing nothing and then the finally gave me coedine and I sicked it back up so was still in agony.

Still feel terrible but definitely better than I was and I’ve managed to wash my hair and chilling on sofa watching Gilmour girls 🥰🥰🥰

The surgeon was happy how everything went so hopefully no more infections.

What a week good news my white blood cells are back up (still don’t know why they were so low ) 😂😂😂 so my sinus surgery is finally Thursday coming in 6 days !! And then I just got a phone call saying I’ve also got to get a liver biopsy on 5th of August in edin to check on my autoimmune liver disease, which is mad cause I’m gonna turn upto that with 2 black eyes from my last surgery 😂😂😂

And also had to go to out of hours at weekend for different antibiotics (my 18th course) so needless to say I have appointments coming out of my ears.

I should have married a doctor 😂😂😂

😩😩😩😩Being ginger in the summer is not for
me

I live in Scotland, I am ginger....and I have the complexion of an anaemic ghost 👻 after he has dived into a talc factory. With that in mind you would think, thank God you live in Scotland and not in Spain. 99% of the year is spent freezing my balls off but that 1% of the summer holidays when it's like living in Satan's arse after eating a vindaloo, is quite frankly unbearable. I have questioned it myself whether taking out a loan for air conditioning for a mere 24 hours is worth the use I will get out of it, because knowing my luck, I will have it installed in my house and then another ice age will begin. ❄️❄️🥶🥶🥶

My daughter is also leaning on the side of being a red head, and when I took a trip to Tenerife I spent most of my holiday setting an actual timer on my phone every 40 minutes and calling her over like a psychopath to re-apply her sun cream and somehow her arms still got a little red. ☀️🌞☀️🌞

She also had a UV swimsuit on. I do not think they existed when I was a child, but I could do with a UV portable house to carry around in the summer if I'm being honest. 🏡🏡

You know when ducks fly south for the winter? I think it's possible I should be flying north.

The north pole that is, because I’d have a much more enjoyable time getting frost bite with Santa than dealing with a heatwave in a volcano when our houses are made to keep IN heat. 🎅🎅🎅🎅

With that in mind, after my moaning about sizzling like a sausage at the local park yesterday, I am also disappointed to see that today it is raining. Raining on the only day we decided to put out the paddling pool in the garden. 🏊🏊🏊

I don’t know why I'm disappointed, because we all know that once you have spent 7 hours pumping up the bloody thing whilst causing repetitive strain injury to your ankle, that one of 2 things happen.

The water is too cold and does nothing... other than cause you to stop breathing when you stick in your big toe, or your toddler gets the ick that the grass gets into the water and decides she would rather do anything, and I literally mean anything other than playing in it, unless I agree to single handedly pick 7,000 blades of grass from between her toes. 🦖

The other thing is that you always find a bargain summer sale paddling pool in Argos, one that is in the shape of dinosaur land but later find out there is also 20 invisible holes, and it deflates itself 3.5 minutes of blowing it up. If I wanted something holey I would have purchased it on a Sunday. 🏥

At least I am not as bad as my Dad, because once he found a portable camping shower from Argos and bought it without reading the description. When I say portable shower, I really mean it was a plastic bag of some sort resembling an IV bag that you fill with water, hang off a tree and the sun “heats it up” and it dribbles all over your head with the power of an ant sized watering can. He thought it magically heated the water. I am not sure exactly where he thought you would plug it in, in the sh****ng tree....but here, we are. 🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳

Funny story because my sister worked there at the time and what did my dad do? He half dried it off, shoved it in the soggy box and swanned into the shop and returned it. I do not have the patience for that s**t; I would have rather binned it than admit I did not read the description.

But he is also the man that bought a unicycle on a whim and realised that he doesn’t actually know how to ride it, because he's not an actual clown. Well, he is, but not the type that has the skills of the circus performers. Come to think of it who is even buying unicycles from Argos? How is there even a gap in the market for that? 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

In 2025 we all know Aldi is obviously the place for that. The shop that you go to buy cakes and come out with a unicycle, a scuba diving suit and a trumpet. 🎺 🎺🎺

Maybe they will sell an air conditioner come to think of it.

Or a UV ginger friendly body suit, that covers my face.. and my toes 😂😂😂

Thank you so much to all for all of the kind messages, and comments honestly I’m so lucky to have you all and when I’m able to I’ll deffo be up for wee catch ups with people ❤️❤️❤️

I can’t remember if I said but 2 weeks ago my consultant had called and told me my neutrophils are crazy low, (which are a type of white blood cell that fight off infection) and after I had them repeated last week they were even worse 😩😩😩😳😳😳

Basically they keep saying any sign of illness and I need to someone asap because im very high risk of sepsis and because I’ve had to come off my immunosuppressants at the minute my autoimmune liver disease is now flaring 🙄

I’ve just had them repeated today so absolutely praying they have gone back up but if not I’ve got to go see haemotology at least

Not sure why they are even low as I’ve been on my medication for 6 years and they have never went dangerously low so I personally feel like there is another cause😩.

Naturally if someone tells you are risk of sepsis your gonna have anxiety, especially when I’ve already got an infection I can’t get rid of and I’m on my 16th course of antibiotics now or 17th I’ve lost track 😂

So I’m basically stuck indoors other than errands because I have the absolute fear but perhaps when they get sorted I wil be able to make most of the summer holidays ☀️☀️☀️☀️☀️

Also you know when someone says watch out for being ill and then you automatically feel ill and it’s prob cause someone said that 😂😂😂😂😂 why is that a thing?

It’s like when someone has a bug and you have been around them hahaha!

Massive love and hugs ###x

‼️‼️‼️Hello, my lovely clients‼️‼️‼️

I can’t believe I’m even writing this, but I’m so sad to announce the end of a chapter that has been my entire life since 2012 💔😭💔

As many of you know, my health has been absolutely ridiculous over the years — but especially unmanageable this year 🏥💊💤 Every time I think I’ve gotten to the bottom of one issue, something new crops up 😞 My illnesses all play into each other and create the perfect storm 🌪️🌧️😩

I’ve ummed and ahhed for ages because I’ve been avoiding what I know is the best decision for my health and family 👨‍👩‍👧 But my heart doesn’t always agree — especially when I love my clients and job so much 💔💅❤️‍🩹

I trained in beauty when I was only 16 💖 and I could never have imagined I’d be so blessed with the love, support, amazing clients, and success I’ve had — even through a freaking pandemic! 💪✨ But now it’s time for me to say a massive and very emotional goodbye to Citrus Beauty Room 🍊💔🥺

It’s no longer physically possible for me to give my all to the business the way I want and need to — not between random infections, hospital and doctor appointments 🏥📅, and trying to have the energy to be both a business owner and a mum to my wonderful 4-year-old 👩‍👦💕

Thank you so much for all the incredible memories and friendships you’ve given me throughout the years 🙏💞 You’ve shown me a level of kindness and faith in humanity that most people never get to witness — let alone for 13 years 💫💗

I’m most likely going to turn this page into Friends of Citrus Beauty Room 🧡👯‍♀️ — so I can still keep in touch with everyone. Also, feel free to add my personal Facebook account 📱💌

If anyone has any outstanding vouchers, please drop me a message and I’ll organise a refund 💸❤️ I’ve messaged the ones I have written down, but just in case I’ve missed anyone — please reach out 📨

If anyone is looking for a fab recommendation for where to go check out my gorgeous friend Gayle’s salon ❤️ I’ll pop the link below

Love you all so much,

Tell me you have bad luck without telling me you have bad luck 😂😂😂

when you finally get new medication for your arthritis , but then the next day I got a phone call from my consultant saying DO NOT TAKE IT because my bloods came back and my neutrophils which is a white blood cells is way tooo low like under one which is not good 😩

Ironically I think it is low because I have this sinus infection I can’t get rid of but the answer to that is the surgery that I’m meant to be having on Tuesday, but they won’t do the surgery if it’s too low because in high risk of sepsis 🙄🙄

So I’m stuck in another nhs loop 😩😩😩😩 and I can’t take that new medication until the cells are better .

I have an another blood test on Monday morning so I’m praying they come back up but it’s scaring me I have this infection at all when they are that low.

Hope you are all well missing you all ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

When your salon is closed but you’re training your 4 year old to do your nails 😂😂😂😂 I’m not gonna lie btw she’s actually really good at massaging my hands !! She’s rolling her eyes at the bit where she massages me feet hahaah

Actually no words 😂 got a phone call this morning to tell me I’m having sinus surgery in 2 weeks !! And I have a pre assessment today ❤️

At least one thing is on the road to being sorted whilst I wait on the rheumatoid side ❤️

It’s mad that it’s went from waiting to even see an ENT in over a year to surgery so soon, I’m guessing the scan showed a lot of infection

Actually is it just me or does my wrist look broken 😩😩 it’s literally just my rheumatoid going mental since I’m on 0 meds!

I had my mri 3 weeks ago and I left a voicemail on my consultant secretery line to see what the heck is happening next as I’m STILL in limbo and literally can’t my return until I’ve got medication and it’s under control😳😳

That’s how bad my wrist is when I’m not even at work so imagine what it would be like massaging.

I don’t think they appreciate how ridic it’s getting
