But we've been busy with doing up the house and medical appointments. It's getting there. The house. The medical side is too. I have a lovely walk in wardrobe now with lots of storage, we both have our individual desks in the study. James with his awesome handmade guitar rack and me with a place … Continue reading It’s Been a Long Time…
Today is a bad day. I've had to relocate my ankle and shoulder quite a few times. Only the right ones. My right hip is refusing to relocate. No matter how I contort or the quantity of physiotherapy I do. It remains just out of the socket. I've been sick quite a few times. I … Continue reading So Tired
How many of us have heard this? You can't have trouble with food... You don't look it. You can't be in chronic pain... You did Tough Mudder. You can't just dislocate your joints... that would be sore! You can't have anxiety... you're so normal. We've heard people say this before. It's hard to hear, even … Continue reading You can’t be ill if you can…

My maxillofacial surgeon reckons I have displaced my disc on my TMJ (temporomandibular joint). But we will see next week. … Continue reading Let it Snow
10 days - I'm sorry. I've been rather meh. Between taking strong pain meds and muscle relaxants, not sleeping because of night fevers and pain and still having a 90% liquid diet, I'm exhausted. Some days I have slept and barely been able to have the energy to eat and others I have used my … Continue reading The Last Week.

Appointment next week to discuss a plan of action. Fix face. Hopefully, that is how it will work and I will be able to eat Christmas dinner.Hopefully. After … Continue reading Well. Hurumph.
Over the past two days, I have met my new GP and my new nurse. If you have read my last post you will know that I had to meet my new GP to discuss my medication including my need for a new prescription of Tramadol - which she allowed. My spine and I thank her. … Continue reading Turning a new Leaf
