More A&E Fun

Last night I ended up in A&E again all because I pulled a plug out of a socket.

Before you conclude on the reason this happened I should tell you that I was NOT electrocuted.

I managed to tear a ligament (ligaments aren't my friends) and pull or tear a ganglia as well. It seems that my body makes something out of nothing :( how rude!

The doctor wasn't very sure as to what I've done to myself and I didn't have much faith in him. e told me I could go but after that he chased me down and said that he'd be happier if I had an x-ray. No break or fracture.

I now have to wear a splint... not sure how long for.

A Time I Wish I Wasn't Disabled

Today was a college trip to the cinema (I know, best thing ever) and I thought everything was sorted... The college can't allow me to take one of their wheelchairs outside of the grounds which was fine because I have my own... the only problem is that it's a self-propelling wheelchair and I'm still not very well from both the car accident and the oscopy.

I told the LSAs (Learning Support Assistant) that I couldn't push myself today so I fore-warned them and yet again I reminded them this morning...

A few minutes before we all left for the trip Pooey McPooson (the woman in charge of disabled students) came and found me and started yelling at me for not telling them before hand; when I told her I did she said "Well, I going to check that", she continued to yell at me and she said "I should not let you go on this trip but your teacher has kindly offered to push you". She made me feel thoroughly disabled and small.

On the way there I think I was kind of rude in the cab. My teacher came with me in the cab but a mix of being yelled at, being hurty and loads of bumps in the road lead me to tears so I put my earphones on and stared out the window whilst I cried.

When I got there my teacher, who I usually find annoying and pooheaded, came to check on me and I started crying again. He told me not to worry about it and I apologised and he said that I had nothing to apologise for.

On the way back I was my normal cheery self with two of my other teachers chatting away. I told my mum about it when she picked me up and she felt she had to complain... everyone agreed with her (it seems noone likes Pooey McPooson) and they were sympathetic about it all and it seems I got the boss of the LSAs in trouble too... Thing is she, Pooey McPooson, is his boss so there's nothing he could do but he and they empathised.

*huggle* to everyone!

The Day After

Yesterday I had my oscopy and it made me quite unwell...

I had a sore tummy and hip (still do) but today I haven't been at all well. Floopy, hurty, sicky, etc...

Yet I still found a way to do my sister's boyfriends birthday card (which took FOREVER but he loved it) and I managed to finish all my work, I made it look extra pretty :)

I know that POTS hasn't caused all my problems but in conjunction with them all it makes it a bit sucky for little me.

*huggle* for everyone!

Hospitoscopy

Today I had my O-scopy and I found out which one it was, a Sigmoidoscopy. My tummy doctor asked for this because I have ALWAYS had tummy problems.

I had an enima, which I guess was useful but I wasn't a fan... The o-scopy itself only took a few minutes and apparently it's all good, but mighty uncomfortable.

It has left me all sore and hurty like they scratched me inside my tummy.... I didn't notice it at first because I asked them to sedate me because I was anxious about it. :(

*huggle* to everyone!!

Oh the Scopy

Just a quick one;

I have some sort of a 'scopy' later today...

I'm a bit nervous about it, no sure how it's going to go, how I'll be after it or what the results will be.

My mum has moved stuff around so that she'll be with me in the hopdidoodle, but I'm still a tad nervous.

I shall keep you posted (get it :P)

Pills with POTS

Sorry it's been a while...

After the car accident I've been a bit swamped with work and hospitals (a few more than normal).

I can't say too much today because I should be working but I wanted to say a few words.

Since I last posted I went to see my POTS doctor again and he put me on pills... something called Fludrocortisone, it's to help me with my liquid in take or something. I apologise for the vagueness but I wasn't feel all too well the day they prescribed it to me so I wasn't paying too much attention... Luckily my mum was there and she listened to all of it whilst asking a million questions.

Fludrocortisone is a steroid so now I have to carry a Blue Card.... It's, supposedly, similar to a medic alert bracelet.

I've been on this tablet for about 3 weeks and I'm not sure it's making much of a difference, it's actually making me feel even more nauseous than normal :-(.

Why can't they make me better without making me feel worse?!

Today I did go to the GP and they prescribed me new anti-sickness/nausea medication.

Hope everyone is well.

*huggle* for everyone.
