School Stuff

We had a meeting this morning with my School. Me and my mum went to a centre around 5 miles away from where we live to see what it looked like and also if I would be able to go there and do my work instead of having to go to school.

The centre is really nice and pretty big. They have several rooms including a kitchen, computer room, indoor gym, tables to do your work etc. It is set out like a school but it is all in one building so you don't have to walk. The staff there were also really nice and friendly and very helpful, the introduced us to the kids and they seemed really nice and friendly.

After discussing things, the teacher said that if I wanted to go there that he couldn't see a problem and that I could start straight away if I wanted!! I couldn't believe it, I was so shocked!! We spoke some more about things and eventually decided that it looked really nice and that I wanted to go. I start this coming Friday ... I can't believe it!! I am so nervous and excited at the same time, it's surreal!!

The teachers were really interested in what was up with me and we explained a few things to them and they said that they would work around me and if I don't feel well on a particular day, that is fine, we just have to call them and let them know. If I don't feel well and start to feel better after a few hours I can also go in a bit later if I wanted to.

At the moment, I would just be going to the centre on a Monday, Wednesday and Thursday so that I get a rest after and so that hopefully I wont end up in a major flare. The centre can arrange for a taxi to pick me up from my house free of charge if we wanted but at the moment, my mum will be taking me there and back until I get used to it. There's only about 10 kids that go to the club and 3 staff so I will get a lot more one-to-one work than I do at school.

The teachers explained that we could either arrange it so that the school send me work, which would be fun has it took 6 months for them to send me any work or I could drop out of school and they would set all of my work. My mum feels that it's better if I drop out of school and allow them to arrange my subjects so that is what we are going to do, for now anyway. The money also goes straight to the centre so at least it isn't going to the school.

Wish me luck for this coming Friday!! ....

Today is Bonfire night so we are going to see some fireworks later although I will only be staying in the car. It should be fun though!!

The Start of Another Week!!

I can't believe it's the start of another week already, this weekend seems to have gone so fast and I haven't even been out of the house!!

The only thing I have done this weekend was watch TV and spend some time on my laptop, I didn't feel like doing anything else and figured that I needed to rest and try and take care of myself for once. I love Sunday's on the TV has my favourite Soap program is on; Hollyoaks. It is a really good English program and I absolutely love watching it!!

I am not feeling too well today, I am having a high pain day and have quite a lot on my mind. I think my arm is going into a bit of a flare again has it is aching a lot today and starting to bruise a bit near my wrist. I am going to do some of my exercises on it so that hopefully it doesn't get any worse. My mums allowed me to take the day off School today because she could see I wasn't feeling too well (I looked really pale) and thought it was better that I try and rest for my procedure on Wednesday (I am so nervous!)I can't concentrate properly today so going to School would just have been a waste of time ... Hopefully I will feel well enough to go tomorrow.

I am so nervous about my upcoming procedure this Wednesday, I think my mum is too. Every time I go to have a procedure, even if it is minor something always seems to go wrong and I come out with some kind of complications. Hopefully this procedure shouldn't cause any complications because they are not (hopefully!) injecting into my RSD leg, they are just going to manipulate my leg into a natural position and then make a splint. Still, I can't help being nervous, I think it is normal with this illness to be scared about things. I am trying to stay positive and hope that the splint will work, if it doesn't I have to have a full leg cast put on in January and I really don't want to go down that route unless we have to.

I am going to rest now has I don't feel well ... wish me luck with my procedure this coming Wednesday (the 22nd)!!
