On the mend

Date 19 March 2011
Author Ilana Estelle
Last night came and my visit to the hospital proved successful. The stitches have come out finally. I’ve put the success of the operation down to Homeopathy. I’ve been using Homeopathy for many years now, but started using some of the remedies three days before ...

The day ahead

Date 17 March 2011
Author Ilana Estelle
I think a little bit of despondency has set in today. The operation to remove 6 lesions last Friday was mostly successful. I think a lot of my thoughts are here on the back of this. When I’m up and about, I’ll probably feel different again, but I need to…

Friendships

Date 15 March 2011
Author Ilana Estelle
Six small lesions and four injections later, my mind has opened up to different thoughts over the last few days. I believe that having things to deal with, somehow show us a different side of ourselves that we need to see that we don’t always tap into. How quickly health…

My thoughts on today

Date 11 March 2011
Author Ilana Estelle
When I feel I’m more in control, my mind tells me something different. The feelings I have are normal pre-operative feelings; but the more I try and think of other things, my mind goes back to what I’m putting myself through today. It’s amazing how the mind and body work.…

My hospital visit

Date 10 March 2011
Author Ilana Estelle
An appointment has now been made for me on Friday to have my lesions taken off, so there’s no turning back. I have to do this, but wish I didn’t have to. My only concern is whether the lesions will grow back. I was told by a specialist many years…

About my life

Date 8 March 2011
Author Ilana Estelle
I just wasn’t happy yesterday. I had made an appointment to go to see my doctor for her to have a look at two lesions that first appeared on my nose about 10 years ago.  Back then, I had it checked out; a biopsy taken and was told I wasn’t…

Old photograph, new memories

Date 21 February 2011
Author Ilana Estelle
I was looking at an old photograph of my sister and me when our facial expressions came to mind. Out of the two of us, my sister was always the serious one, whereas I was more carefree. Looking at the photograph now, my whole life has been a lie. I…

More on problems with families

Date 16 February 2011
Author Ilana Estelle
Like children need boundaries, so perhaps too do families. We need to set boundaries with family. We need to let them know what's acceptable. From my own experience we need to say No if we don't want to do what our family want, but they have to accept we're saying…

Problems with families

Date 15 February 2011
Author Ilana Estelle
I personally don’t believe there is such a thing as a perfect family. If there was, we’d all be the first in the queue to be a part of one. As hard as we try we don’t always get the family thing right. We know when there is a fundamental breakdown…

Author Ilana Estelle
Being spiritual, my values have always been important to me, so I thought I’d note down the values that help me bring and maintain peace in my life: Whenever you help someone, do it with good grace; When you apologise to someone, mean it;

Having to prove oneself

Date 10 February 2011
Author Ilana Estelle
We spend a life time believing we have to make our parents proud, to have their approval, to prove to them that we’re capable of achieving great things, but seriously, how many of us constantly go out of our way to prove to our parents that we’re capable? Perhaps it’s…

The same old story

Date 8 February 2011
Author Ilana Estelle
This was on my mind this morning. I’m wondering what’s worse, the fact that I have mild Cerebral Palsy, or the fact that I had no emotional support growing up with it. Although they both have a tendency to bother me, the lack of support saddens me the most, because…
