It's been a while since I logged in here to write. For this, I am truly sorry, not just because it means that you lovely lot don't get to read anything from me, but because my "therapy" of writing to get things out of my head has been non-existent since the mid/end of April. So, here goes...
In the last few months, I have been attending a physio for my leg, which has become progressively more painful and tight. The exercises given were to try and stretch the hip flexors, but alas, unfortunately, as of yet, there has been no improvement and I have been told that I am meeting a new physio next time to try and specialise the exercises and treatment. On the same day as I managed to get this sorted, I also saw my hip specialist, who recommended that the next time I have botox in my hand, I should have some in around 4 muscles in my hip, including flexors, in order to make exercises easier. Although this was a major breakthrough, due to the fact I now have acknowledgement of pain in my hip after 7 months of pleading with anyone who will listen to do something for me, I am also extremely nervous, as I do not have anesthetic whilst having botox.
Onto my hand, and I'm now onto my second lot of botox in many different muscles in my hand. Whilst it seemed to work the first time, I have noticed a lot of weakness and less control in my hand this time. I am now unable to hold on to anything at all, which makes it extremely awkward whilst walking with my stick in my good hand. I'm hoping that this will improve with time.
Work has been busy but productive. I have now learned more about coding behind Access systems, and, although its only very basic, and most of it still goes over my head, I am able to understand how much effort it takes in order to make the system into the needs of the business that I work for.
On top of work, I have put myself forward to be a mentor for the charity that I hold dear to my heart, Hemihelp. Brilliantly, my application was accepted, and I am attending a training day for this down in London next month. I am very excited for this, not only for the prospect of the future of mentoring, but because this training gives me the opportunity to meet people I have been speaking to for a very long time and now regard as close friends.
So... First blog in a while, which means that it might not write as well as it should, I've fallen out of habit. Hopefully, now that I have untangled my brain a bit, I can get back in to the habit of writing. Hopefully, onwards and upwards, my friends..
Love to you all xx
