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!

Turquoise for Dysautonomia Awareness Month

Again it's been a month since I posted... Opps! It's been an intense month! My endoscopy went well. They were worried about an anaphylactic reaction to the Propofol but luckily that didn't happen. Sadly though they didn't find anything so still no answers but I've got my gastro appointment in about 3 weeks so hopefully we'll have a plan to move forward then. I also managed to have a POTS flare after the procedure due to the 'eating and drinking nothing for 18 hours' thing. But after fluids and the threat of an admission I went home to snuggle up with Ami. Next in September was an anaphylactic reaction to peanuts, uni problems and a possible CRPS diagnosis, amongst others. Let's just focus on the possible CRPS diagnosis. As you may or may not know, I fractured my right ankle in 2014, followed by 13 weeks in a boot and crutches + 4 months of rehab, plus rehab that continues to this day. My ankle has since never be the same, but usually it...

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...

The wrath of medication forgetfulness

I'm really feeling the effects of my stupid forgetful brain this morning. I didn't realise how much my medication helps (because sometimes it doesn't feel like it does anything) until I forgot to take it last night. I have to admit, it probably wouldn't have been a great combination with the alcohol that was probably still in my system when I went to bed, but still, I'm really feeling the effects this morning. The bad part, my rescue medication has some seriously horrible side effects so I probably won't be taking that any time soon. I guess I deserve the pain I'm in this morning, after all I did drink and then forget to take my medication before I went to bed last night, over estimating my pain management skills I think. Now even the sound of my computer keys tapping is sending my brain into sensory overload and I have no idea how I'm going to get all my assignments done today. I deserve this, but still I feel sorry for myself. The feeling of waking u...
