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!

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...
