The day after
Day after surgery
Melanie An Noma
Today’s the big day Melanie An Noma is getting her official eviction notice. Once the drama’s over, I plan to recover in pure luxury, stretched out on my Chez Moi set, surrounded by cushions, snacks, and a smug sense of relief. Think ‘spa day meets survival mode.’ For those new here, she is my melanoma, [...]
The heat is on
My cat is driving me batshit. Literally I’m positive she can kill me at this rate. Every night at 11 p.m., Jazz my one cat transforms from cuddly roommate to hormonal bitch. She howls. She paces. She throws herself dramatically onto the floor like she’s auditioning for some dramatic performance, Feline Edition. I’ve tried calming [...]
Don’t wake me
I’m so tired that I need a week of sleep. The kind of deep, restorative, luxurious sleep that resets your soul and possibly your entire personality. I don’t want a nap. I want a medically supervised coma with breakfast in bed when I wake up. Somewhere along the line, “rest” became a myth. My brain [...]
Exhaustion
I’m too exhausted to write. Unbelievable I know. Yet that’s the case. I’ve exhausted my brain and my body decided to follow suit. Halloween is pressing and I didn’t want to follow the ghouls this year. Life has enough of dark, sinister and depressing to repeat it on the screen. Let’s face it this past [...]
It arrives soon
Halloween arrives soon Like that cousin you didn’t invite to the family party. Pumpkins are grinning, candles are lit, And my costume still looks like utter sh— nonsense (I don’t wear one I’m scary as it is) The shops sell cobwebs for £5 a strand, I can just leave my house unplanned! Kids want sweets, [...]
Sun’s Out, Scars Out
The sun’s shining, the sky’s pretending it’s still summer, and here I am, proudly swanning about in my shorts like I’ve just been sponsored by Savlon. Why? Because my legs are still decently presentable until my next melanoma operation on the 23rd of October on my shin. I’m having another WLE. Just as the first [...]
Emotional support swing
I sat on a virtual swing last night. Just me, the sunset, and a mild sense of “what the actual hell is going on with life.” It was quiet. Too quiet, actually. I half expected my cat to start judging me for sitting there like a moody poet. The swing creaked with every push, probably [...]
Dislocate
I’m seeing a doctor today about my shoulder issues, which have quietly (and not so quietly) become worse over time. My shoulder has dislocated twice recently during a flare , just for a few seconds each time, but that’s enough to leave a deep ache and a quiet fear in the back of my mind. [...]
