Birthday surprise and the day that followed!

So my birthday was 2 days ago and it actually turned out to be a great day! I woke up feeling great (compared to my christmas wake up call). I then jumped into bed with my parents, a tradition we continue to this day (at 19 years old! haha :P) and we waited until I was officially born. Then we went down and opened presents before having breakfast. I got some very heartfelt and beautiful gifts, like pandora charms from my extended family and ugg boots and ballet tickets from my parents. I've been wanting ugg boots for so long so it was a wonderful surprise. The body pillow was amazing as well! I told mum that if (when) we ever have to go the the ED again, I'm wearing my ugg boots, because, why not?

Then my parents and I went out to lunch and my dad left to go to 'a meeting'. Mum and I did some shopping and then I went off to the new children's hospital to do my training with Starlight which was amazing!! I can't wait to start!!!

When I got home (8:30pm) I got the best surprise! My best friend was there to celebrate! Turns out my dad didn't have a meeting, he drove 2.5hrs each way to pick her up from her holiday house! We then celebrated and talked long into the night.

The next day, we had to take her back, so mum and I drove her and stopped for fish and chips and a paddle in the ocean on the way which was a lovely experience. I'm going to miss her so much!! She's off to USA for potentially a year and I don't know what I'll do without her!!

By the time we got home I was exhausted but we still had a birthday dinner with my neighbours to go. Then it was time for modern family and bed.

Now I'm upstairs, trying to work out how I can improve the upstairs lounge room/exercise room to make it more cosy. I'm lying in front of the tv watching Dance Moms and drinking wine, whilst waiting for pizza to arrive. With the air-conditioning on ofcourse! It's too hot to not have it on.

Tomorrow I have to close at work and then it's my last physio before my appointment in T-5 days!! I'm super nervous but I know that whatever happens it'll be ok! I hope everyone is having a lovely weekend so far!

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...
