Well i've been in hospital for 10 weeks now, fighting a rare infection. Only 1% of people have this is the world and 70% don't make the first year. I've had 3 surgeries, 2 x ICU stays. I find myself longing for my bed, my house, home cooked food. But for now I just want health and to make this fight. 2.5 months down 😘

@illwah You've got a hell of alot of strength more than most the people I know, just keeping hanging in there anf fighting 🙏

[Emma Longman - Azzopardi @illwah]

We are so quick to ask for prayer when we are poorly, but not as quick to thank him for the result. I wanna get better at because I'm still here, and that... is a miracle, thank you, Jesus 🙏

When someone asks for prayer, you know they are not ok, as it actually takes a lot of courage to ask for prayer and admit you aren't coping.

But society doesn't teach us that. We all put on that brave face. How about you just be YOU, exactly how you come today, and then how you come tomorrow and so on. So many more people will be touched as they gravitate to the vulnerable sides we dont like people to see.

No one can be strong all the time. But at the beginning of this now 6 month fight, I would try and be whom I thought people expected me to be, but there comes a time you can't pretend, and I am realising that is OK as well. When you have no choice but to just "be," that's when you find your true self. It doesn't mean that a loud, vibrant person isn't me either. It just means I'm stripped back atm and taking a step back to heal.

One can only get back up so many times, before they fall and stay there for a while, and that's me now, and I have now learnt that it is also OK as well. During these times of absolute stripping back, I like to call it, you lose energy very quickly. So, during your "healing journey," many follow and offer help, support, and love, and as the journey goes on, it gets less than a few less again. Then you get to the point where people just don't know what to say. Because you know what? Either do I? I feel like if I explain every detail to someone of the last 5 years I've just met, they wouldn't even believe it could happen because I still struggle too.

My best friend Nadine wrote this song for me, and I've used it to show you some really personal pictures of the last 6 months fighting golden staph and then sepsis. Keep in mind these are the good pictures, I tried to take the confronting ones out.

This journey is still ongoing, and It's been in this time that EVERYTHING has started to crash around me, literally.... I was and still feel numb, I didn't want to talk, and some days I still don't want to. Don't take it as a sign against you. I need to learn how to take off everything that has crashed around me first. I'm still on the floor and I've realised that it's ok to stay there for a while as well.

I nearly died twice in the last 6 months, and sometimes I ask why I didn't? Because after 20 years in pain, it's a long road with very few walking companions. I cry thinking about my beautiful son Colby, who has had to watch this journey nearly his whole life. I wish he didn't have to, but then part of that is what makes him, him as well. So there is ALWAYS a purpose, and there is ALWAYS a reason. Man, I am proud mumma of the man you have become❣️

So I hold on to that last string of hope I still have, well let's say a peice of cotton, in the hope that when my story is read it will help other people, and maybe change lives, because for awhile there I was actually brave enough to write it.

I realise managing to sit in the sun for 30 mins in the morning is heaven. Sitting for meals and then back to bed is the reality, but I hang on to "I sat in the sun for 30 mins today." Then slowly but surely I will lift off the things that have fallen on top of me, one at a time, and start finding my way back. Because my small circle is unfailing, never changing, always loving, accepting of any way I come and always available. I am loved and so very blessed 🙏

I'm extremely grateful for all the messages, and if I haven't replied, you now know why, but I have read them ALL, and I thank you. They continue to encourage me.

Thank you ALL so much,
Much Love Always Emma xx ❣️

Lidia Thorpe continues to choose inappropriate times to grandstand her own agenda, and gain attention. @SenatorThorpe
Your bullying ways, butting heads, complete rudness, belongs on a football field, not in parliament.
If this is the legacy you want to leave. WOW @SaNationals

@ProudSANational @AlboMP @AustralianLabor @The_Nationals Well said Emma 👏

[paulformayor @paulformayor]

@illwah Absolute TRUTH!!

[Emma Longman - Azzopardi @illwah]

The best thing you can ever do for yourself is to believe in YOU. Believe YOU are enough, believe you are worthy, and believe you can change lives simply by being you!! It's why we were all made different, so don't try to be someone else. You were already perfectly picked out <

[paulformayor @paulformayor]

The New York Times just published this about Trump!! @nytimes
You should ABSOLUTELY be ashamed of yourself!! Not a shred of empathy for a man's life. I am utterly appalled that such a reputable news source would go this low!!!!

I'm curious to know how locking 450 giga litres away to flow past South Australian farmers that can not be touched is going to help our growers.

Also, why are you changing the topic from the roads to @TKoutsantonisMP?

The "selective" quoting came straight from your budget 🤔
