In the last week I have had 2 hospital appointments, work, a pamper day and a load of family stress.
I'll start with the pamper day...
Me, a friend from work, and 4 of her friends went to a spa and for a meal last thursday night. I had my nails done, which are lovely, and the food at the place Zena works on a night was absolutely delicious!! It was a pasta dish with a tomato sauce with pepperoni, salami and bacon, luuuuush!
Work has been stressful. Between MIS systems not working, people needing help and managers being away, its been really busy!
Hospital visit number 1 was to see my surgeon for my hip. I've had a load of pain in it recently and I have nerve damage in my thigh thanks to op number 2, so I was really worried. Thankfully, nothing seems out of place skeletal wise, but he is worried about the pain so has arranged for a scan of my hip and back to make sure everything is ok. I'm hoping everything is ok, but am slightly nervous.
Hospital visit number 2 was to see a new surgeon, this time for my hand. Recently I have been using my hand less, and my fingers are becoming bent and a little useless. The surgeon was completely the opposite to what I imagined, and has organised for me to have physio and a plastic splint to hopefully stretch my fingers and get me back to being able to use them again. If the splints don't work, then there is more surgery on the cards. Lets hope the splints work eh...
In the week, my boiler has bust, which is awful, but we are looking to get a new one or get this one fixed as soon as possible.
Also, on top of that, my mum has been really poorly, which is really stressful, as I was no where near her, but she is now on the mend so I am on the road to calmness.
Off to the match tomorrow, Sunderland vs Wigan. Looking forward to the day, not looking forward to the match result, will probably get a draw.
Anyway, off to watch all the soaps, speak soon!

Life Gone Mad
So I haven't posted for a while, so thought, saying as its my first day of doing not much for a while, that I would pop in, say hello, and drone on about all the changes in my life.
The first change in my hectic life was about a week and a half ago, I had my appraisal at work, and am getting a change in Job Role, which I was super excited about (1 week in, the novelty has worn off and I'm a little stressed, but it's all worth it). Now, instead of my job role speaking to learners, and doing general miscellanious work, I now have a very structured job role around the backgrounds of the systems, and stats, which I love and think is amazing (yes, I'm a little odd).
On the down side, in the last few weeks (and after I stupidly tried zumba - even if it was meant for 70 yr olds) my hip has taken a horrendous turn for the worse and has been making me feel pretty rubbish. Our prediction is that the bone has grown back, but because we are not medical professionals, we have settled for making an emergency appointment with the surgeon which is next week, where I'll get x-rays and hopefully it'll just be muscle problems, heres for hoping!
HIGHLIGHT OF THE WEEK!!! Yesterday we went to the last County Championship cricket game of the season. The good news was that Durham won by 5 wickets (for all those who are not sports fans, thats all i'll say with the actual scores), the great news was that I received a top from Mark Wood (which I am proudly wearing over my leggings, its a bit big and looks a little like a dress :P) and the super great news is that afterwards we went into the bar, had a good night with the players, and was bought a vodka and lemonade by one of the players, Ben Stokes, who is a lovely lad... Gutted that it's the end of the cricket season, but already looking forward to next summer.
Tomorrow we have the first league Sunderland home game of the season, we are hoping it doesn't rain, as the last time it did, our match got called off, and a lot of people got very annoyed lol.
After the Olympic and Paralympic games, I have been somewhat inspired to take up sport and am looking into going swimming. I have been in touch with a guy, who hasn't got back to me, but i'm hoping he will reply with dates and places where I can actively go swimming and hopefully get fitter, help my hip and raise awareness of Hemiplegia and Hip Dysplasia. Wish me luck!
Thats all that has happened so far, so i'll let you know next week how the surgeon appointment goes and if my life EVER calms down :)
Bye for now :)
