Sorry!

Hey hey readers!! Sorry my delay in posts, realised earlier I hadn't blogged for a while - my bad!

My knees feeling better, but it's still a little bit achey every now and  then, but it's fine, because at least it feels slightly better? That's something, which is better than nothing!!
I have an appointment on the 30th Sept to see a rheumatolagy nurse for my dreaded joint injection in my ankle! I really would rather the nurse slapped me or something, seriously don't want this joint injection right now >< but... that's life!! Soo.. I'm going to be on crutches on my 2nd week back at uni... which is great... in fact, I have lesson the same day... a few hours later than when I'm at the hospital (my teachers don't know yet, so let's hope they don't read my blog!!) - I am going to tell them, just when I actually have them for my first lesson :P

So yeah, I'm really not looking forward to that, but I am looking forward to enquiring about skydiving again, and also about climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro next year for charity... It probably won't be the best time to ask... But it needs asking :P so fingers crossed, that the nurse I see can shed some light on that, and hopefully give me some high hopes!

Apart from that, there's not really much to say at the moment, except the physio was happy I got myself an exercise bike, there's already been some improvement in my leg muscles (probably because of it) which is good!

Try to actually keep updating this time!!

TTFN, ta ta for now!!

Hey there!

Hey there! Sorry for the delay, I was internetless (that's not really a word, but heyho!) for a while, but now I'm back, in my new house for my second year of uni, and with internet again!

So, today has been a day of progress, because today I finally got to see a rheumatologist here in Lincoln, and, it was eventful to say the least... I just expected to discuss the options for the future of making my arthritis a bit better, but with that, I also got a steroid joint injection in my knee, followed by 10 minutes of being lightheaded and feeling very poorly (I do not deal well with injections!) especially seeing as this was the first time I'd had a joint injection with out pain relief such as laughing gas or general anaesthetic, but unfortunately, this is what 'adulthood' entails! And then to add to my sorrow of a joint injection, a nice trip to phlebotomy for a blood test! woohoo! But on the upper hand, the pain from my knee probably made me deal with this blood test the best I ever have!

So now I'm sitting on my bed feeling pretty sorry for myself as I can't bend my knee, and hobbling is no fun! Sad times, but on the happy side, this should hopefully generally bring the swelling and pain down in my knee, BUT on the unhappy side, I have to go back in a few weeks for another one in my ankle! :(

But apart from being a bit sore and achy at the moment, I've been having a good summer holiday, which is always good news and I'm hoping for the best from this hurty joint injection!!! Fingers crossed for a near future of not limping!

I'll keep you posted on the joint injection and my knee (I'm not leaving you this time!)

TTFN, ta ta for now!! :)

Sorry for the delay!

Hello my wonderful blog readers!! As the title says, sorry for the delay! I've been internetless from Monday - Today so there wasn't much I could do unfortunately.

So, I'm finally back on all my medication! woo! It feels good, in an odd way. I saw my Rheumatologist doctor back home on Tuesday, and now I'm sorta discharged from him, and seeing him again in a year (so, not fully discharged), ready to start seeing a rheumatologist and physiotherapist here in Lincoln at last!! I have a physio appointment booked for Wednesday, and believe it or not, I'm excited to start cracking on with walking properly again!

So yeah, all is good in those departments at the minute! Got to start having weekly blood tests for a while though unfortunately :( which, I don't look forward to, at all, especially seeing as I still have a bruise from one I had about 11 days ago! But I'll deal with that when it gets to it.

Sorry this blogs a bit short and blah today, I'm just tired from my journey back to Lincoln today, and decided I should probably give a quick update so you don't think I've just vanished! I haven't... I'm here!! :)

TTFN, ta ta for now! :)
