Great News!
After the tidy up of my hip and two months off work, I am going back for 3 days a week starting Monday :)
No more boredom and over-cleaning of the house!
It will be for light duties of course, so I'll not be able to stand for too long, but thanks to Access to Work I have my own desk and chair anyway.
In other news, I had a lovely night last night. Chris took me to a T20 game of cricket (we have season tickets) and against all odds Durham won by 8 wickets, which is fantastic, and means that confidence is hopefully improved (haven't done so well lately...). After that, I had to pop to my parents house, as one of my work colleagues nicely bought me a bunch of flowers which smell lovely!!
On the way home, we stopped at Chris's parents, had a cup of tea, watched the match, then headed home.
All in all, feeling very positive about things today, and looking forward to future. Really feeling like the sun is coming!
See you real soon!

Happy Birthday Dad
So yesterday was my dads birthday, and I thought that it warrented the post titled, even though most of what this post is not going to contain it.
Been a busy few days to be honest and I'm exhausted and sat chilling out with a cup of tea and a biscuit.
On Saturday, as we get used to having our own house and our own responsibilities, we went round quite a lot of the North East food shopping, trying to find cheap deals on our crisps, milk and frozen food, not forgetting the tinned peaches (some nutrients for me...). This left me pretty tired for the rest of the night. Its worrying me that I'm so exhausted, given that I'm meant to be going back to work, but I'm hoping a few days with my splints on and rest, i'll be absolutely fine.
Sunday helped, I went up to my parents house for Sunday dinner which was Roast Pork (Belly Pork... nom nom) and lots of crackling, which was absolutely divine. Sooo worth the wait for a Sunday dinner saying as it was my first "mum and dads Sunday dinner" since I moved out just under 2 months ago. My dad seemed glad to have me there, and was talking to me all about the football, which I enjoy, and then I came home to watch the England match...
The England match... what do I say about that then... we simply were not good enough. we deserved to be beaten in the 90 minutes and as per normal we are kicked out of Euro2012 by penalties, which is absolutely guttening. On a more positive note, most of the players had a genuine interest in wanting to win, and just need to build stamina and skills. Passion was there. In other words, its a work in progress :)
You will learn with me that I am football crazy and I will mention this again and again when the football season kicks off (I am a keen follower of Sunderland AFC, have a season ticket, and go to as many away games as possible).
In other news, I have read "Fifty Shades of Grey" this weekend, and it is pure fifth. There is no wonder that the American libraries have banned it, would I hell want kids to have any access to it. Soft Porn comes to mind, which also makes me question the thoughts and fantasies of the British public saying it is sold out in most bookstores and supermarkets. My sister has lovingly reassured me that the second book isnt as erotic, and that I might not wonder how this one became available for public sale, so I might try and read it.
Putting this book aside, I thoroughly recommend reading any James Patterson books that you get your mitts on.
So, in conclusion, and if you simply couldnt be bothered to read all of the above (I wouldnt blame you, it is mostly drivvel) I am knackered, I am looking forward to going back to work, I had a good weekend, I love Sunderland AFC and I love reading, although not filthy pornstar books.
If all that hasnt bored you to tears, watch this space, i'll let you know later on how the rest of my week goes.

Hospital Visit - 6 week check
So its almost a week since my hospital appointment following the screws being taken out of my hip from the operation last year. My consultant is happy with the formation of the hip this time, and thankfully no more extra bone (painful!!) has formed on my hip. The only problem is that the registrar who took the screws out actually nicked a nerve, and so I can no longer feel part of my thigh (Needless to say, lots of bruises there from where I've knocked it now). He wants to therefore keep an eye on that. Also, my muscle might be too short now that the hip is formed properly and so he wants to keep an eye on that and possibly lengthen it if it starts causing me any problems.
I'm feeling positive and negative about last week, positive because it means we are finally getting there with my hip formation, but negative because theres still a hell of a lot of pain in my leg, which i'm not sure he'll deal with because he is a hip specialist... and because he's the first surgeon who I have 100% trusted, and I would hate to think he discharged me.
I also have had no physio since my last op, which is concerning as the muscles are week and are starting to tighten up, and I'm starting to trip and fall more. I'm wondering whether I should go to the dr and ask to be transferred to get a new splint, or whether to leave it for a little while and then mention it to my surgeon who is fully aware of my hemi problems.
After this appointment, it means I can (finally!) go back to work, so am due to go back on the 2nd July. I really can't wait as I need my mind to be challenged, and I'm looking forward to having my normal wage back instead of being on statituary sick pay.
Looking forward to the future and will keep you all updated :)

PS Portugal look to win this match in the Euros.... I think Germany will win it overall, even though I hope England go on to win it

First Ever Blogger (Watch out!)
So this is my first time writing a blog, which I guess will be used when I have nothing to do and want to vent some frustration (what else do people use them for!?).
You may all ask why I have named my page "Here Comes The Sun". Its not because I am a Sunny person and have such a big head that I'm warning you that I'm about to brighten up your day. The reason I have chosen to call it this is because, as I look out at an extremely dark and dingy day, I like to be optimistic that both literally, and metaphorically, the sun is going to come out and life can always get better.
My name is Steph and I am 22 years old. My life is pretty normal, apart from a few anomalies, but whose life is completely smooth and picture perfect?
I have a job in admin, which even though can be stressful at times, I do love and throw myself at all the time. My partner Chris sometimes tells me I don't get paid enough, or I work with too much stress, and half the time I tend to agree, but on the whole, its a pretty good, stable job. At the moment though, I'm off on the sick, but i'll explain more of that later.
I have just moved into my lovely new home, and while the carpet in the living room needs changing and the tiles in the bathroom are chipped, i love it, and will never move house ever again (in part due to the stress of getting all of my stuff out of my parents house!)
As I said before, I'm off on the sick from work at the moment. This is due to a disability I have called Hemiplegia, which means that my left limbs are considerably weaker than my right ones, so in effect, and I can say this because its me, I'm a bit wonky. Last year I had to have my pelvis realigned because my left hip wasnt formed properly, which meant I had 6 months off, but this year I've had a bit of a tidy up of the hip, screws taken out etc and that's why I'm sat in my pj's writing this blog instead of just being home from work and starting to make the tea! As well as my leg being slightly wonky, I only have use of my thumb and index finger on my left hand, and so normal tasks people carry out, I have to find an easier one handed way of doing it. When I concentrate my arm also raises up which means anyone sat to the left of me gets a clonk on the head!!
The reason I'm giving you my whole medical history is because this is mainly what I will blog about, whether its daily because I'm bored, weekly updates from work or yearly because I completely forgot that I had a blog running.
Anyway, I'll stop boring you all now, have a great evening and I'll speak to you all in the near future.
See you real soon!
