PAINTING & PITUITARY - My Story

Image
Where it all began !! WELCOME to my WORLD - Well - that's something i NEVER thought i would hear myself ... TYPE !! Im Abby - 20 Years ago I was quiet and not very social, demure even ... Got a Boyfriend / Later to be my husband / had two FABULOUS KIDS - was very obliging ! Then I got ill - and now - WOW - Im a different person entirely  ! My weight Ballooned ( Even though i have never been 'small' !! ) I started getting the most IMMENSE headaches - I would drop to the floor and not be able to move - totally aware of what was happening, just not be able to do a thing about it. My whole personality changed - One minute i was the HULK ... then I was me ... then i was suicidal .. All very very scary - until you knew what was the matter - and thank god ( ohh - im not spiritual at all - but - it feels right to say it !! Contradiction I know ! )  I had a FABULOUS GP - One day i went in there with my Husband- ( Who at the time was an Absolute Rock  ) told her all

I HIT THE NATIONALS - EXCITING - but stressful

TAKING IT RIGHT BACK -  The Kent Messenger Newspaper seem to get a lot of there stories from local Neighbourhood internet site -  HERNE BAY CHATTER -  WHERE I SPEND A LOT OF TIME - AND HAVE MADE A LOT OF GOOD FRIENDS -  It is a lovely Community Based forum to enjoy Local news and Gossip and chat and laughs and chill with fellow like minded individuals - and OK - No-body is QUITE as Loopy as my good self - But - They are ALL a lovely lovely bunch - bar non .. ( I love the Moaners too - they cheer me right up ! )  Anyway I had an Email saying the Local Reporter had seen a couple of my paintings and had looked at my ABIGAIL BARRY ART PAGE on Facebook - and she liked my 'Story' - and could she please run a couple of things past me and maybe do a piece in the next Gazette -  Well - Fine by me - i'm all over 'Tin'Ternet anyway !! BASICALLY - GOT PITUITARY BRAIN TUMOURS -  NOW I CAN PAINT - ! -  PEOPLE SEEM TO THINK REALLY RATHER WE

BRAIN TUMOURS - OMG - NOW I CAN PAINT !!!

OK - as a back story - a very quick back story -  When i did NOT have a Pituitary Brain Tumour - My drawings looked like the below - and i can be quite categorical - as NO-BODY ever used to get the answers correct when it was my turn at Pictionary !  Here we have the Royal Family - ( Yes - I knew - you knew - but i needed to put it - just in case ...  ) These are a few Farmyard Animals we saw when i was 32 .... YES - I LIKED TO DRAW WHAT WE SAW  !!! ( Ohhh i Rhymed !! - GO ME ! )  No - It does NOT look like anything rude - Behave ... Mmmmmmmm - OK No Master Pieces there - although my rendition of a Turtle i thought was rather exceptional - but - OK - i wont digress !!  NOW Since seeing my Psych last week ( He is the one who has FINALLY PUT ME ON MED'S FOR CYCLICAL CUSHING'S - and has stopped my other drugs for various other ailments such as Epilepsy and Schizophrenia - WHICH I DON'T AND NEVER HAVE HAD ! )  -  Anyways - Right at
