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.

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.

(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 😛

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.

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 :P). 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.
