On the cold, snowy Sunday that is today, I thought what's better than writing about my weekend whilst staying nice and warm after a hot shower an a day of the heating being on with the snuggie wrapped tightly round me.
On Friday, despite snow falling, I popped to my mums, first and foremost because she had my post, which contained a tax disc for my car and a pre-paid prescription card which I needed to pick up the next 300ml of Baclofen.. As I was leaving, she gave me a big bag if cookies to take with me to Wigan, as I was going to an away match the next day.
Baclofen
As you all may be aware, since the first day of the year, I have been taking Baclofen in order to try and relax my muscles and to stop the dystonia, which means that I have too much tone in my left limbs as I am trying to use it. Unfortunately, so far, I feel like I'm taking a placebo. A the moment, no relaxation has occurred in my muscles, and the only side effect I have had is a weeks worth of weird dreams and frightening nightmares. I have not give up hope yet, however, I have to up my dose in the next couple of weeks, and so I can still hope that a higher dose will have a better effect.
Wigan vs Sunderland - final score 2-3
Finally, an away win this season that I have actually been too! It was, however, not without squeaky bums and a few heart attacks.
We set off from the house at 8am, with inches of snow in our way, to make our way to Sunderland, where we were getting a coach to the Wigan game. Thank The Lord I wasn't driving!
It took around 3 hours to get there, including a stop, and we spent an hour in a pub under the away end at Wigan, called "the marquee" where they served coffee for £1.50 (coffee always a bonus on a cold day).
The match began with a terrible mistake by the Sunderland defence, an within the first 3 minutes, we were a goal down and one of our own players had scored it. This filled the 5000 fans who had travelled down with hope.... Not!
Thankfully, this own goal seemed to be the kick up the backsides they needed, and thanks to a handball in the box by a Wigan player, a penalty taken by Gardiner got us back on Level terms. After this, confidence grew, and Steven Fletcher put another 2 corkers into the back of the net and put it up to 1-3.
After half time, as normal, Sunderland sat back and invited the pressure on. Wigan took their chanc and got a goal back, but thankfully Sunderland did enough to keep the score at 2-3. All in all, an important win, and a great day out.
So after all the excitement of the weekend, I seem to have overdone it a little. Because of the cold, my muscles have seized, and I am walking with my knee bent and on the outside of my foot. Therefore, for the rest if my day, I am going to sit in my pjs and have lots of hot drinks.
I hope everyone has had a fantastic weekend and have a great week ahead.
Love to you all
Steph xx
