I passed!

Yesterday was an amazing day!

Apart from the fact that I fell over and hurt myself in the morning then spending most of the morning on the couch watching Grey's Anatomy (wasn't so bad) haha. Grey's Anatomy is my weakness! I am in love. I think it's because I'd love to be a doctor. I'm thinking about starting to watch House MD, apparently its a really good show.

Anyway! When mum came home to see my sulking because I'd fallen over, she picked me up off the couch, told me to get changed and away we went to Max Brenners and to buy a present for my neighbour's birthday (today). Whilst we were out shopping I got an email from Uni with booklist and other rather exciting things for this semester, including our placement dates. However, the most exciting thing came when I received an email confirming my placement in Toowoomba! We have to do a regional placement next semester and because I have family that I can stay with there, I really wanted to go to Toowoomba. However it was starting to look unlikely because they had already (supposedly) sorted out our placements and had not read my email. Luckily a spot opened up and it's mine! :) I was actually jumping and dancing around the store because I was so happy... nearly broke my mums elbow :) opps...

Then it was off to physio where she said I am getting stronger (maybe?) and might be able to start pilates in one of her supervised classes in a couple of weeks. I'm a bit nervous about that but excited at the same time. My uni results weren't meant to come out until 4:30pm yesterday but just as I was finishing off in the physio gym, I happened to look at my phone and a message had come through saying that results were up! I passed!!! With flying colours apparently! It is such a relief as I worked my butt off this semester to try and pass despite everything that's been happening medically. I'm currently sitting on a GPA of 5.25 which is pretty good considering that its my first semester of uni and the subjects were super hard. One pass, a credit and two distinctions! Could not be happier right now.

Combine that with my placement news and it didn't matter that I was aching all over, for once I was in the moment and felt... normal. Today I'm procrastinating. Have an essay due on Monday which I should have started days ago... It's way too hard! Oh well back to essay writing.

Have a great day!

BB :)

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...
