Taking a long scenic route!
Soooo.....I'm 36 now, yay me! (would love to sue every dr who told me I had 5 years to live when I was 18!!!)
Didn't make my birthday goal and I didn't just fall off the wagon, I jumped off and ran away!! boo. My birthday was complicated a bit by having my stepson for a week while he was out of school. A bite here, a bite there and crap load of codeine to cope and you get massive weight gain! Mostly water and shit, but still disheartening and a rude awakening. I was 389 yesterday but Im back down to 381 today....it was A LOT of shit lol. Codeine does me no favours when it comes to my bowels and it turns out you really can shit out 8lbs lol
My wounds are still going. My big open one is now on a PICO pump and my small belly button one is still being stubborn. Nurses are now only coming 2 times a week....praise whomever!
My hand is still limp/numb/painful, but I have an appointment on the 6th to try out some shots as I have all the symptoms are carpal tunnel....so lets hope the shots work. I have forced myself to learn to use it a bit more but it is still weak and cannot hold things heavier than paper.
My moods are up. I increased my anti-d a bit, cautiously and I seem to be doing well...but not TOO WELL which was a huge concern for me being bipolar and all.
I really need to go through all my clothes as my trusty comfy jeans are falling down if Im not careful! I love clothes and have a hard time parting with things!
I finished my one course/module on May 12th and haven't heard back on my grade and it's driving me bonkers! If I passed, which I think I will, I will have a certificate of higher education....the first thing in my life I have seen to the finish line. I am continuing on to my B.A (hons) but this is a first step and I'm pretty damn proud of myself for completing it when I was dealing with all my complications and hospital/nurse crap GO ME!
