    I've just come across your channel based on Hannah's recommendation and I really enjoyed this video 😊 I've added Mad World to my tbr as it sounds brilliant. If you haven't read Run Towards the Danger by Sarah Polley I'd highly recommend it. It's an essay collection that examines child acting, ptsd, memory and chronic pain and it was absolutely brilliant. I hope your surgery goes OK and the recovery isn't too tough!

    I’m about to have my lap choley in a few hours and it makes me nervous! I can sympathise with the pain, it is like no other! It wakes me up in the night and I would try to put up with the pain but it doesn’t cut it. I’ve been in and out of ED 3x and got sent home the same day because they weren’t concern of the size of the gallstones I had. A week later, I had a terrible attack after I ate. I was nauseated everyday. I couldn’t eat properly cause of the discomfort on my upper body. I felt like I was being stabbed repeatedly! A few days later, my boyfriend noticed I was having jaundice, my urine was very concentrated almost dark orange and bowel motion was pale colour. Being a nurse myself, I knew something is not right. I went to ED for the last time, they admitted me and I had all of the scans possible- chest xray, MRI, CT scan and ultrasound which all confirmed that I had 2 gallstones that traveled out of my gallbladder and blocked my bile duct... My blood test was THROUGH THE ROOF, like insanely mayhem especially my liver function tests! I had ERCP under IV sedation to get the stones out but unfortunately I developed acute pancreatitis about an hour after the procedure. Man, it was fucking painful. I was bed bound for 2 days. I couldn’t move. I was on PCA Morphine and then Fentanyl. Nurses had to bed wash me which was embarrassing. I’m only 23 years old. I was in the hospital for 2 weeks, it was depressing and I couldn’t recover in peace being in a 4-bedded room 😂. Thankfully, my surgeon works for a private hospital that I work for and he’s given me a special treatment in terms of squeezing me in his case list for surgery. I’m his first patient of the day which is a good thing for me too otherwise, I would be waiting 2-3 months to get surgery in public hospital which I wouldn’t be keen on because I was scared of the reoccurring attacks! I have to say, I’m not looking forward to the surgery and also the recovery. I’m worried about all the discomfort and all the lifestyle changes I have to make for the rest of my life 😅. I have already noticed some foods that I used to love that my tummy doesn’t agree anymore. It’s a trial and error as my doctor said. Start off with clear foods, blandest foods ever 😂 then slowly introduce new food bit by bit and see if it reacts or not. Anyway, I’m glad that you are recovering very well. All the best!!!

I'm looking forward to getting Love in Colour too, but I'd never heard of black ballads before so thank you for mentioning it. From the little look I've had it looks like something I'd be into - I've added it to my home screen to remind me to check it out. Slightly unrelated, but do read gal-dem too? It's a website focused on journalism for women & non binary women of colour. Definitely along the same lines as black ballads I think ❤️

The Black Flamingo is wonderful, I read it earlier this year and I'm so glad it's been getting so much love lately.
