Good News!

I've just gotten back from other morning at uni and I have the best news! Apart from the fact that it was super cold this morning, once we got to uni I logged on to my email and found one from my tutor for the winter subject that I did over the holidays.

Why I was so upset yesterday was because I'd received my results from the subject, and it said I had failed. I did not at all expect to fail because I did very well in the exam and felt quite confident in the essay that I wrote. I was very upset yesterday and spent most of the night crying, feeling like a complete failure. Also I think that everything had been piling on which made it worse. So last night I sent my tutor an email asking for my essay result etc. and today he replied saying that he was unsure why my results were coming up as a fail but that I had PASSED!! This made me so happy I nearly screamed in the middle of my tutorial! Later I got another email saying that there had been a technical error with my results and that I for sure had passed so not to worry.

ALSO!! I was having some issues with going on my clinical placement at the end of the year, due to my ankle, well... I received an email from my course coordinator today asking if I wanted to to my placement in Toowoomba! Which is where I wanted to go in the first place! I have family up there so I have a place to stay and she said it might make it easier for me with my ankle as the hospital is not as big as those down here. Well despite the fact that its a 2 hour drive, which my mum has offered to do for me if my ankle is still bad, I'm super happy! Everything is going right today. Just goes to show that you can't judge your life on one day. Although I think I'm slightly scared from my results experience yesterday, certainly I will be more anxious with obtaining results in the future.

So all in all today has been a happy day. My dad pushed me up to the shops for lunch in my wheelchair which was fun. Nice time for us to have together. Also my mum's day surgery went well and she is now skin cancer free! So that's great! Tonight it is just mum and I for dinner as dad has a work thing, which should be nice. I don't have univerisity tomorrow so we might even watch a movie. Although, I think due to chronic pain, I don't really have much patience for movies any more.

I know this has no relation to anything but I'm just super happy! Makes everything crappy about my life/health just that little bit better.

Never judge your life from one day.

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...
