Prayer request and Hobbies!

Today I'm off to get my 2 week post fracture x-ray for my appointment on Monday. I'm not looking forward to it because they'll be moving my ankle and taking off the boot etc. which will hurt but I really want to know if it has began healing. This could mean the difference between going on my uni placement and missing out! Also dad and I are going to find some food for me for this weekend because they are going away on a trip to the beach. I'm not going because I can't sit in a car for long enough, so my friends are going to come stay with me. Yay for pizza and drinks!

Also, I'm looking for suggestions for hobbies. I'm bored out of my mind not being able to do anything, and whilst I have started back at uni I still have a lot of free time, not being able to work and all so I need some things to do. I desperately want a dog, but that's not going to happen, and what I usually do when I'm bored is dance, which I can't do with my ankle so I need suggestions. Some previous suggestions: loom bands, online shopping (I've spent a lot of money!), reading, writing, making a photo album etc. Anything that I can do without going out would be appreciated. I have a wheelchair so I can move a little bit but I'd prefer to just be able to stay either in my room or the lounge room. I have a laptop and in the morning, before my parents leave for work they can help me etc. Thank you!

Lastly! I'd just like to send out a request to anyone that will listen today! My rock, my Potato, my closest friend who has helped me through so much, whilst dealing with chronic pain herself, is having surgery this afternoon. She is the strongest person I know and I know she can get through this xxx

To Potato! You are stronger than this, this is not more chronic pain. You can do it!

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 :)

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...
