Day 3 with the boot

Day 3 and life is getting better. I think the worst pain in behind me (I hope) but I'm going a little stir crazy. I have absolutely nothing to do! I live in a 2 story house and so when I wake up in the morning I have to wait until someone else wakes up to help me get downstairs where I stay all day until it's time for a shower (which I can't do on my own) and bed. There is only so much TV one can watch ahaha. Hopefully some friends will be coming around over the next couple of days to keep me company, but I think I need a hobby. I actually managed to sleep through the entire night last night but woke up quite sore. I don't think these 6 weeks are going to go very fast :(

I've been looking online to find a bag that can fit my laptop in it for uni because I won't be able to carry a bag when I first go back next week with my crutches. I can't really seem to find anything and I'm not looking forward to going to uni with the boot.

On Thursday I went off to the surgeon who said that he'd have a look at my hip once my ankle heels so thats a positive. After that, I went off to get my boot fitted which has stabilised my foot and is helping with the pain. That morning, I got a really lovely call from my physio asking what had happened. It was really lovely because she didn't have to call, it is a therapeutic relationship after all, however I think that she cares for me a bit more than she's meant to. She asked what happened and told me what to talk to the surgeon about etc. It was so lovely and she is going to call me next week to see how I am going. I love her so much! She is just the sweetest person ever and I can't believe she called me personally to ask what happened. She's gorgeous! I am also planning on going back to the place that I broke my ankle to say thank you to the lovely lady that helped me! She was amazing!

Anyway... today I think I'm going to do some nail art because I actually have nothing else to do :S I am so bored! However, I have to wait for someone to come home so they can go buy me some nail polish. Hate not even being able to get food on my own.

Staying strong.

My sexy boot!

Darkness

Darkness. For a long time that's what I lived with day in and day out. At 16 it's hard to hear that the rest of your life will be filled with pain and suffering, that no one can fix you. I had friends, friends that didn't understand what I was going through, so I retreated and so did they. I can honestly say that I've never considered myself to live with depression, but this time was probably the closest I've ever come to it. I felt like I was stuck in a dark hole that I couldn't get out of. Even worse, I felt like no one even knew I was there. I was the happy girl, the smiley one, the 'I'm okay' one, the one you would never have guessed lives with chronic pain. And I still am. I still am all those things and yet more. I think when you first get given a life changing diagnosis you go through many stages until you get to acceptance, one of them often being feeling isolated and alone. And that's what I felt. I didn't know anyone in my situa...

Finally! Thank you!

So I found this link talking about chronic pain, especially in the Australian population. It is so true! I myself have found that APMA is a very useful organisation and finally it's being recognised! http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-06-20/queenslanders-on-frontline-of-fight-against/5540410 Have a watch! It's amazing :) Good reason to smile today. Lets get some awareness going! BB :)

Absent

Sorry I've been so absent recently. I've had loads of exams this week and I've been quite stressed and not super healthy. I don't think my body has been coping very well with all the stress and I've had some GI flare ups and joint issues these past couple of days. On Saturday night I went to a party and I paid for my choices the next day as I couldn't walk without my crutches. I do through phases where I am almost jumping off the walls and feeling amazing and the next day I can't walk. Boom and Bust. I've never been very good at managing the boom and bust and stress cycle. I guess I haven't really mastered the art of pacing quite yet. I also did something quite stupid in my semi-drunken state on Saturday. I told some of my friends what I'd been going through. Usually I would never say anything and I wish that I could take it back, but I can't. I guess in that moment I just felt safe. Now don't get me wrong, I didn't tell them everythi...
