Irish eyes are smiling today! 💚🍀

Back in September I experienced a health flare up that I attributed to being a one-off related to the chronic illness that I have battled over the past 10+ years. I have tried so hard to manage this privately with as much grace as possible, minimizing my symptoms. This has taken a toll on my personal life, career, mental and physical health. Take it from me, you can only ignore your body’s red flags for so long. Pun VERY intended 🚩🚩🚩

Over the past six months I have been navigating the healthcare system, I’m talkin’ doctors both old and new to Team SC, blood and iron transfusions, different drugs, treatment plans - don’t get me started on the numerous unplanned ER visits. Often unable to leave my house, let alone my bed for days and weeks on end.

I am now happy to share that I am recovering from an open abdominal myomectomy and hysteroscopy to remove three fibroids and an ovarian cyst thanks to my incredible gynaecological surgeon.

Today’s holiday is being celebrated differently this year, but I believe Saint Patrick is watching over me. Sláinte mhaith from the Heibeins 💚🍀
