August 20 – a year ago and beyond

August 20 - a year ago and beyond
A year ago the first chemo. The first of three, which then became six, which then became seven. I don’t have a suitable photo, but I found this one, taken on my way back from Milan by car. I was just tired. Very amazed that it has no side effects.

Two glasses of wine

two glasses of wine
Today I would like to tell how I felt yesterday, over two glasses of wine. I live in London and I had an appointment with my “fake cousin” (we have a very strange relationship) French by birth, but English by choice. It had been a while since our last meeting

Being sick make us alone

being sick makes us alone
Being sick makes us alone. It is a particular loneliness, or rather, it is an understanding of the term “loneliness” particular, or at least it is my key to reading. We are alone because if you have not been sick, hospitalized for months, done therapies (where the side effects are

Answer the phone

answer the phone
The phone rings …. you are deaf. Calls are not for you. You need to have someone close to you to pass the phone, answer for you and know who they are and what they want. But now there is something new. I can answer too. Thanks to Google and

Fried green Tomatoes

fried green tomatoes
Today at Borough market this “literally” waterfall of tomatoes. Obviously the first thought went to the movie “fried green tomatoes ” … a wonderful movie. Dramatically direct but also blatantly irreverent. I loved it from the first time and I could always see it. And after this vision my mental

The difference between Saturday and Sunday

the difference between Saturday and Sunday
The weekend just passed was strange, useful, demanding but not too much, thoughtful and so on and so forth. But what I noticed was the real and abysmal difference (I’m talking from the point of view of the disease, soon I’ll be able to explain) between Saturday and Sunday. Let’s

Chinatown London

Here I am around London to tell a new fantastic adventure. Today Chinatown. So, let’s start from the fact that the last three / four days have been a little bit heavy (the exams weren’t going well and they increased my cortisone). In short, I was gripped by the sadness,

My best ally, my worst enemy

my best ally, my worst enemy
Today I would like to talk and start talking about my relationship with cortisone. I could call him my best ally but also my worst enemy. Since I was sick, the first thing they gave me in the hospital was the cortisone drips … I called them “bombs”, because they

I don’t Know if it is shyness

I don't know if it's shyness
Today I fixed, indeed updated the Instagram account, for what concerns the basic information. In short, I have not been sick for two years, but three. I live with a very rare autoimmune disease, which took my hearing away. A maintenance therapy of at least five years. So what does

About Me

about-me-image
My name is Veronica, I am from Italy, and my life was running smooth until two years ago, when my head started to ache and I became deaf within months. As of today I do not have a diagnosis and doctors are still investigating on what my illnes is about. This blog is a window on my world, as I am trying to face and adapt to this new situation without sound, trapped in a quiet bubble.
Emotions have no expiry date
