  • Me? On a podcast? Yeah, I did that.

    One of my favourite podcasts which I listen to fairly regularly is the Good Girl Confessional, hosted by Sandy of WB40.com I actually got to sit down with Sandy and have a chat about my experiences with Essure and the removal thereof – both events having been documented on this blog in: Essure Implants –…

  • It’s October 2022… WHUT?!

    Hi. It’s… ah… been a while, yeah? My last entry on this thing was just five months before COVID decided to make the world burn. In that time I managed to get myself overseas (Europe, thank you very much) for the last time for the foreseeable future and also adopted a new kitten. And yeah……

  • Where she go?

    I’m still alive, don’t worry. Been meaning to update this here blog but WordPress has become a steaming pile of shit with it’s new disaster of a “block” editor and I haven’t had the desire to deal with it. Just been busy moving house for the second time in a couple months. I’m in a…

  • The Mother of All Updates… Maybe. Kinda.

    I’ve forgotten how to blog. I can write comments on everyone else’s blogs, but I’ve forgotten how to write. But here we go. An update, of sorts, for anyone who might maybe stumble into Renlish land again. I keep intending to write and it never really happens. Though to be fair, this past 18 months…

  • Working on it!

    Bear with me!

  • Diary of a Hysterectomy – The Hospital

    Day 0. “Eviction Day” I’m a wreck. No other way to put it. The enormity of what’s happened over the past 18 months (marriage separation and uprooting my life, illness, the death of my aunt, etc), and now this has proven to be too much to handle today. I’m tired and anxious and can’t stop…

  • Essure update. AKA “Now I need a hysterectomy to fix this shit!”

    I figured it was about time to update the situation with my Essure implants now that they’ve been in for a few months. Nothing has improved and as you can see from the title of this post, I am having a hysterectomy to have the things removed. Why do I need such a serious surgery…

  • Essure Implants – A Testimonial

    Warning – This post talks about female reproductive organs and contraception. If you don’t like reading about that stuff, go away. I’m taking the opportunity to write about my experience with the (somewhat infamous) Essure implants. If you’ve found your way here after googling Essure either before or after you’ve had the operation, firstly, don’t…

  • Changes. Well, more changes.

    So, long time no blog. Things change. How many times have I admitted that to myself this year? It’s been an up-and-down few months. I finally walked out of my marriage, a little tenderised but mostly unscathed. I can pretty much thank the Manbeast’s level head for much of it. The house sold for a…

  • No I won’t “suck it up”.

    You see me whine on Facebook about being sore and tired. You sit there and smile knowingly or roll your eyes because you’re a gym-goer too. Or a runner. Or a crossfitter. Or an otherwise Tough Mudderfucker, but you’re not me. You know all about muscle soreness and recovery and optimal heart rates and that…
