    • About Me

      I am a 29 year old receptionist and admin clerk. I was a housewife for 2 years. Prior to that, I was studying physiotherapy, but my severe endometriosis has prevented me from completing my studies. My husband is currently working in Canada. Being apart is very difficut. I hope to join him, but wish to secure employment there to do so. I am a christian, and my faith in God gives me daily strength to live with my dedilitating endometriosis. I love children, and would be happy to have my own, God-willing. I had my last lap on 30 June. Due for another in 2 months. Trying to stay positive!

    • Interests

      I love cooking and baking. I also enjoy writing, and write poetry and songs for my own pleasure. I used to love cycling, swimming and hiking, but the debilitating pain of endo has severely limited my physical activity over the last 2 years especially. I love children, and hope to have some of my own someday.

      From ruth86 October 2

      Thank you for the beautiful response :) Yes that is so true, He really does give us the strength to cope when we ask for it!! I had a bit of a difficult birth, but will happily do the same again as I think it is the right thing to do (and nothing we cannot cope with when we have God's help!) You are Christain then? And how are you?? How are you coping with the joys of endo? xx
