Project 365: Day 43: 30th July 2011 – Johan in Bed

Have been exhausted all day, payback from Thursday I think. Slept through the carer this morning, Johan woke me up at 11am to take my antibiotics, then I fell asleep again.

When I woke up it was hard to get out of bed. Managed it after a bit, and did my dailies and finished the Molten Front quests. Had a bath, and Johan took over my bed to watch telly.

Favourite carer came this evening when we weren’t expecting her She plaited my hair then she did some housework with the other carer.

Now watching Torchwood. Not as good as normal Torchwood, but I’m enjoying the storyline.

I does, even if they don’t work properly

As I forgot to take my meds last night, I woke up at 9.30am this morning, feeling pretty rotten. Favourite carer came, tidied the living room (including some of Johan’s corner ) and we had a chat as I wasn’t feeling up to getting up at the time.

Went on my computer for a bit but had to go back to bed after a while. The good news is that the anti-nausea tablets seem to work, though it did mean I got extremely hungry when they kicked in (though to be fair, I’d only had snacks for 24 hours by that point).

I had two meals today Noodles for lunch, and pizza with veg for tea. Also got Elisaveta to level 72 in the bouts I was on the computer.

Favourite carer came at about 6pm supposedly to help me with my bath, but I wasn’t sure I’d be able to get back out again so I didn’t have it. Instead she finished off the living room, cleaned all of the kitchen and bathroom, and we had a long chat about things in general.

Johan’s not having a good night tonight. It makes me sad

Project 365: Day 41: 28th July 2011 – Hot Chocolate

Appointment at the doctors in the morning. He gave me tablets for nausea. He wanted to examine my abdomen but I panicked from the noise of the step.

Went into Newcastle afterwards, and had lunch at a café. The hot chocolate was nice, though I want too keen on the meatball sandwich.

I had hospital appointment in the afternoon. It went okay, right up to the point where they took blood. That in itself wasn’t a problem (I don’t like it, but I can tolerate it) but they broke all three rules in how to deal with Danni when she’s having a panic attack, so it was torture.

Went home via Blaydon library, and got Elisaveta to level 70 before falling asleep without taking my night-time meds. Whoops.

Project 365: Day 40: 27th July 2011 – Purple Suede Shoes

Since I can’t walk, I seem to be spending a lot of time looking at and buying new shoes It does mean I’ll be able to get rid of all the ones that are falling apart, though

Woke up about 2.30pm today, feeling really rotten. Took antibiotics and got up, but had to go back to bed after doing my dailies because I felt so dizzy and ill. Panicked again when the carer came at bath time, which didn’t help at all.

Had a bath a bit later, but realised I wasn’t strong enough to get out. This meant that Johan had to drag me out, which he found exceptionally difficult. Lay on the floor in the bathroom for a bit before I was strong enough to get in my wheelchair and go back to bed. Being stuck in the bath has now made me scared of having one again, as it was very painful trying to get out. Need to speak to social worker to find out what’s happening to my OT assessment.

Project 365: Day 39: 26th July 2011 – Bus Pass

Woke up after the carer had been, and got ready to go out as I had a dentist appointment. It went okay- the dentist put a temporary covering over the hole in my tooth that’s been bothering me, and gave me a prescription for antibiotics, and promised to chase up the appointment to get it removed.

Went to the library on the way back, then put the prescription in at the chemist. When Johan went to pick it up, we realised I wouldn’t be able to swallow the tablets (I’m having enough problems keeping my normal ones down) and they couldn’t be crushed, which is what the dentist had said to do when I mentioned I was struggling to take tablets. Johan spoke to the chemist, then went back to the dentist for a prescription for the liquid form of the antibiotics. It doesn’t taste very nice, but at least I can get it down.

Today’s post included my disabled bus pass I have put it in the pretty travel pass holder I’d bought last week, as the one it came in is green and not very nice.

Panicked when the evening carers came again, and Johan sent them away. Read a couple of the books I borrowed and went to sleep as I was knackered.

Project 365: Day 38: 25th July 2011 – Shoes

(Please ignore the state of the carpet…)

As the Shoutcraft Invitational didn’t finish until nearly 2am, I slept through the carer this morning. Woke up about 2pm, and was still not feeling great, though the nausea didn’t end up in vomiting. Have been exceptionally anxious all day, because of the carers being early on Saturday evening and Sunday morning.

Spent most of the day in bed feeling rotten, and watching stuff on 4 On Demand. Got up to raid in World of Warcraft, and ended up panicking when it was close to when the carers were due because one of them was the one who was early on Saturday, and I couldn’t cope with not knowing when they were going to arrive, and then having to deal with being touched and stuff. They arrived late (which normally I’d be able to deal with fine) and Johan sent them away as there was no way I’d be able to deal with them. Raid didn’t go too well, but it wasn’t my fault for once- one of the healers was having lag problems, and even when that was sorted out there were other little problems that meant we couldn’t get Cho’gall down.

Spoke to Vicky on MSN for a bit, and she gave me a link to a pair of purple shoes on eBay. I bought them Being ill is turning me into such a girl

Project 365: Day 37: 24th July 2011 – Shoutcraft

Morning carer was early by a few minutes, and because of last night I couldn’t cope at all so didn’t get up. Turned out to be a good idea anyway because I was really ill. Pain was a lot worse than normal and was making me nauseous, then I started vomiting a few minutes after taking painkillers Managed to scare Johan a little bit by there being blood in my vomit, but there wasn’t that much and it’s probably just being sick so much over the last few weeks.

Since I had to spend the day in bed I watched Shoutcraft on the telly. It was fun, and a good distraction. I was too ill to have my bath when the carer came, but I had one a lot later with Johan to try and get my temperature regulation under control, as I was going from hot to cold and back again so quickly I didn’t know what to do. It helped a bit.

Project 365: Day 36: 23rd July 2011 – TV Stand

Yesterday, while I was watching League of Legends on telly, Johan went out to Ikea to buy a new TV stand, as my old cheap coffee table looked like it was going to collapse. Today, we put it together (well, Johan did most of it). I sorted out the cables, vacuumed the space where the old one had been (it was a bit disgusting) and rewired everything. I like it

I also was able to walk a little today! I noticed while standing that I was less wobbly than normal (I stand a bit to transfer), so walked a little bit to see if I could. I didn’t fall over and my legs didn’t collapse! It felt weird though being that high up, after being at seated level for so long.

Played World of Warcraft (as always- may stop mentioning it in every post and just mention when I don’t play it ). Was healing in Bastion of Twilight, causing quite a few wipes because of brain lapses.

I also panicked because the evening carer arrived 35 minutes early, and then asked if I was ready. I don’t cope with people being early at all, and being that early and expecting me to be ready to get ready for bed is just too much. It really upset me all evening.

Project 365: Day 35: 22nd July 2011 – Catreina

Didn’t get any sleep last night, as took painkillers with the drink I had for taking night time meds with. Messed around on the internet in bed most of the night. Got up when favourite carer arrived, then got dressed in my new dress

Played on WoW for a bit, then watched Catreina playing League of Legends on the telly

Fell asleep about 7pm, as I was a bit tired after being up 24 hours.

Project 365: Day 34: 21st July 2011 – Stripy Socks

Didn’t sleep much last night, as in too much pain (toothache on top of normal pain in arms and legs) and wasn’t well enough to go across the room to find painkillers.

Had to be up early this morning because I had my appointment at the CFS clinic. Threw up on the bus (I was prepared with bags, luckily) and felt really rotten travelling, but wasn’t too bad when I got there. They wanted to go through all my history, and there’s a lot of it, so I have another appointment in a month.

The photo was taken on the way back- the man sitting near us was wearing a shirt, tie and smart trousers, with colourful stripy socks It was good.

Went to the MetroCentre on the way back, heading to Asda. Found (and bought) a new penguin!It’s one of the ones from Madagascar. In Asda bought a new pair of wellys (they’re a size 9! and purple! and girly!) and a new dress that should be long enough to wear by itself Also got a salad, cherries and shortbread, but was feeling really ill by this point so we paid and went home.

Went for a nap when we got back, as I was knackered and in agony. Woke up and took painkillers, then had a bath. Also cancelled carers as I was in too much pain to deal with the one I don’t like.

After my bath, lay on my bed for a bit, then went on my computer to do dailies. Completed the Filling the Moonwell part of the Hyjal dailies, and did an epic storyline to kill Leyara Also was sad after doing the locket quests

Still in a lot of pain after full dose of painkillers. I need to make an appointment with the dentist (though I’m waiting to have the tooth removed) and see the doctor about the nausea and vomiting as it’s getting a bit difficult to cope with now.
