Well I have been lucky enough to not be admitted to hospital for over a week now... Yay me!!
I haven't really been up to much apart from sorting things out with regards to moving which will hopefully be sometime soon. I was assessed by an OT from social services who decided that where I am living at the minute is not at all suitable due to there being a 9 inch step to get in the flat, the door ways and hallways being narrow and the property just not being big enough overall. A lady from wheelchair services also came out and did an assessment and they feel that the safest thing for me would be to have an electric wheelchair but unfortunately they are only able to supply an indoor electric wheelchair so this does not solve the issue of me getting out and about and being idependent. There is also the issue of the property being too small to accommodate the chair so that is all on hold and I am in the process of trying to raise the funds needed for a ultra lightweight self propelled wheelchair.
They have decided that the best type of property for me would be a fully adapted bungalow which will be wheelchair accessible and have all the facilities in order for me to carry on living independent. I have been put on the housing list but as these type of properties are hard to come by we could be waiting a long time.
I still haven't seen my gastro doctor with regards to test results following the gastroscopy and abdominal ultrasound scan, instead I have received a letter asking me to attend the hospital for a abdominal and pelvic CT scan but in not sure why. Hopefully we will have some answers soon.
I have a lot of upcoming appointments so I will update you all on that as and when.
I am unfortunately in cast again. I fell on Sunday and dislocated 2 joints in my thumb :( it hurt like hell and there was a lot of swelling so I ended up going to the hospital to get it checked out and they think there may also be an airline fracture so have out me in a cast and I have to attend the fracture clinic tomorrow morning and see what they decide to do.
I didn't like how dull it looked so thought I would jazz it up with some on my waterproof KT tape which would also help keep it dry :)
That's about all for now :) I shall be posting some more helping information on living with a chronic illness shortly. Stay safe <3
