Why so Happy at this wonderful news Lorraine?
Amendment to paragraph 3 ….. Missed text, section in bold print
I should mention why I am so happy, here is my brief story. Back in October 2005 my life changed forever, I had a minor operation which was supposed to be an over night stay that went wrong and I lost everything through it, our house, career, socializing, everything, I can only describe it as standing on one spot and not being able to move, everything had gone, the operation made me completely disabled. You can imagine the devastation this is causing me and to my family as it effects my husband and my sons.
I was determined I will not spend the rest of my days housebound watching TV or just wasting away and after finding another home which I can tell you was like going back to being 19 years old again, it needs a complete refurb and still ongoing, I was determined to show after such a terrible event and still going through it, when disabled you can keep going.
I do all my websites to keep my mind and soul going, although physical things are impossible I can still use my hands and brain and this is what I did and still do, I designed and produced House of Francheska to give beauty to the world and also Ma MuSIK to help the music industry. At the moment I do not make any money, all money made is pumped back into the business, I am sure in time the living wage will come into fruition. I do this with all my heart and soul to show the World when very ill you can make a life. I do not normally tell others but through having this operation since then I suffer with Diabetes type 2, Myasthenia Gravis and also the operation gave me a Pulmonary Embolis where I nearly died and have to take warfarin long term.
Before October 2005 I was completely healthy, had a fantastic career and a fab life, one second there one second gone!
My life is far from normal, I have to balance out my work and rest life it is not the normal 9-5 working life, sometimes I am so weak I can sleep for days.I am not a seeker for sympathy, but I like to show others how happy I am at my recent achievements and I thank you for your understanding, if only people knew how difficult this sort of life is, although my closest friends are aware of my situation.
Love and many blessings to all
Lorraine
