One day I’ll write about what it’s like living with chronic pain. Every day. Putting on a brave face at work, with friends and how it changes your life, the mind and how exhausting and limiting it is. Always lurking in the background as you try to go about with your life.

But with a talent like hers, confidence and of course black beauty, we totally understand why her presence on TV had been missed dearly!

However, she will not stop thanking the Almighty however burdened she has been as she expresses:

Dear God, Thank you for 2018!

It’s been a year of change, transition for me. Change in my health. I made significant moves to get fit and healthy, had surgery again.

But I’m getting back on the saddle.

And into the new year:

Thank you God, for in all this, you’ve held my hand!

I’ve never walked alone.

2019, no matter what changes come my way, I shall get through them as I have done this year!

God’s got me! He’s got you too!

We do wish her quick recovery and the strength to surpass all obstacles along her way.
