Well it’s been awhile. So quick update. Xmas was good so was new year. We all had fun and I got some really cute pics that I might upload later.


Connors had appointments for his eyes. We were pissed about by the doctors and eventually they have decided that in April he will have his right eye patched. We still haven’t been able to get his new glasses as apparently none of the opticians can make them. I told the doctor we went to see and she said that it was a load of rubbish.

My health has been up and down. Not so much dislocation and subluxes but more migraines at the moment. The latest one has latest over 5 days now. I’ve lost weight as I’m throwing up pretty much everything I eat. The tablets aren’t having enough time to work before they come back up. I’m trying to make an appointment with my doctor this week as he said about putting me on beta blockers to stop the migraines. It would be fantastic to not have them anymore as they render me completely incapable. It puts more stress on my family as my partner then has to look after me while looking after the house and Connor. Other then the migraines I keep getting colds soon as I recover from one I have caught another one. And this morning I managed to fall down the last 4 stairs. Woo go me! Only my wrist and ankle were dislocated so I was pretty lucky.

I can’t remember if I posted about my other blog. Mainly on needlecrafts. It’s called “Relentless stitching” and I think you can get to it through my profile page. I have updated there a lot more and you can see some of the projects that I have been working on.

warning:bad spelling

Wow thats a good start. I use microsoft word to write my blog then copy and paste after spell checker has done its magic. Its crashed. So i am truely sorry for any typos/spelling/grammer problems.


Ok so update time. I have done no arty bits no cross stitch no crocheting. I am how ever thinking abouta new project im hoping to start in january. Quilting. I have never tried this and have been reading up on it. I souds very complicated and i think will take me the best part of a year to complete. I have different ideas on the style of it but havent completley made up my mind yet.

My health isnt great. Even more so now the colder weather has started to kick in. all i want to do is sleep and watch the world go by. I love winter none the less. There is something about the way the streets are empty at night. Watching snow fall, my street flood, and then theres xmas!!! I cant wait for xmas to get here. The look on connors face as he opens his presents is gonna make the highlight of the year for me.

I am pleased to report that my mind is less frazzled then it was on my last post. Connor has managed to total his glasses again. This time by headbutting the wall as he fell over. Another trip up town for me asap. He is enjoyng nursery and has grown in so many ways since started bearing in mind this is his secound week. His speech is amazing his using animal nioses, his even sleeping better.

I will be adding a poll to here as soon as i can work out how to do it. Keep a eye out as it could improve things around here for you lot instead of my ramblings i will be adding new topics to the top bar thingy. I was thinking along the lines of informatin into EDS, tips and tricks, backstory, helpful pages and groups for informatin or help. Let me know what you think. As alot of the time i dont know what to write about.



Sorry again about my spelling. :)

Well I got my new cross stitches come through 2 days ago. I haven’t made as much progress as I thought I would due to it being more complicated then I thought. The instructions and graph thingy are harder to read then I am used to. I won’t bother putting a picture of it up yet as there’s not that much to see.

I have been working on enterlac, and can’t work out where I’m going wrong. The “wrong side” (part I’m working on) looks brilliant but the other side seems all messy and uneven, the colour changes don’t seem to be even, there’s uppy bits and downy bits. If anyone can tell me what I’m doing wrong please let me know, ill pay you in cookies :P. I also received my Tunisian crochet hook this week, now just waiting to find the perfect wool to test it out with.



"Wrong side"





The wrong side is kinda neat. 



The right side is messy and has some raised bits on it, as im sure you can see. Im not sure where im going wrong. If you think you might be able to help, please let me know, ill give you a cookie : P



Connors managed to total his glasses, glasses that are meant to be child proof. He was trying to get out the back door with a football in his hands. Normally he holds onto the doorframe, but this time he didn’t. Head first onto paving slabs. His ok just a couple of scratches and a lot of tears. The glasses took most of impact so he was bloody lucky. We have to take his glasses back on Thursday to have them mended. I can’t wait I didn’t realise how much he bumped into things without them.

My tooth seems fine a little tender but I can now eat “adult” food like mash potatoes, chocolate, bread again. No longer stuck with soup and mush. Yay thank you tooth for sorting yourself out. Damned dentists.

I seem to be waking up every couple of days with a headache from hell. Not quite a migraine but not far off it. I think it may be something to do with either stress or medication or possibly stress related to medication. It could be too much chocolate or not enough......personally I like the sound of that more then I should. It could be from the weather. I’m refusing to put the heating on yet. It could be from spending so much time on the computer. It could be due to trying to work out why I got a headache. It’s properly that one.

I also got a new laptop this week. It’s one that my partner used. Bigger screen, bigger keyboard, all-round better. I can now play the games I want to though I doubt it will improve my ability to play them. I play CSS a lot. I normally last about a minute and half. I am truly crap at shoot ‘em games.

I have an appointment with Professor Graham, who specialises in EDS, coming up next month. I’m looking forward to it. I have so many questions for him. As it’s almost 3 hours travel there I’m hoping to make a day of it and see some of the sights around London. We’ll properly go to see my partners mum as she lives on the outskirts. Is it a bad sign when you count an appointment at a hospital a day trip? Even better it’s a hospital I haven’t been to before, yay, only question is now, what supports do I wear and should I get the ones that match my undies?

And for all those who are having a bad day, I present to you this picture. I only turnt my back for a second. Imagine the fun I had clearing it up, bearing in mind I had only finished scrubbing the kitchen before dinner. Ta-dar

Dont you just love kids

Baking

Me and Connor made cakes and biccys today. Around four plates of the damned things. Some of them were slightley burnt but then everything i cook is normally burnt to a cinder. I dont have a timer on my cooker so i wait till the fire alarm goes off to tell me its done :D

Biccys!!!!

I had one hell of a migraine yesterday. My partner made me go to bed before 9:30pm. I sure needed it though as i slept almost 12 hours. I had some very weird dreams though. I remeber bits about them. Something about a dragon i had to ask something,but it was drunk and kept chargrilling people. Something about a car crash in which we all survived but ended up in a wildness camp with a bunch of crazies. Who kept trying to dance with us. The only sane person there was dwayne johnson (a former pro wrestler) who every few minutes would give me a teddy and a blanket and tell me it was nap time. Not a clue what any of it ment but woke up very confused.

Connors getting on well with his glasses, other then the fact his bitten the plastic bits off that go on his nose. He can defiently see better now and has a tantrum if i dont give them to him first thing in the morning.

My teeth are really killing. Its been a month now, my gums wont stop bleeding, my teeth are more sensitive now then they were when the nerve was exposed. Im having to use the tooth paste for todlers as when i use adult ones even for sensitve teeth i end up crying where they hurt so much.



I have been crocheting like mad this week and have been thinking about starting a crocheting blog. I might just keep it all on here though as it makes it less stressful

busy busy busy

My Aunt had a birthday BBQ this weekend, which was great to be able to go to a party and know that I’m not the only one that’s going to be covered in bruises bandages and on crutches. As most of her friends were too. No one looked at me funny when I dislocated my wrist trying to swat a giant wasp. (I got it too, with a lighter)

We went on our first family camping trip. Wow I thought camping was meant to be relaxing. All we did was stress out at each other, got lost, couldn’t find what we needed, as it was his bright idea to buy everything we needed on the way tent included. Ended up taking nearly 6 hours to do a hour and a half drive *face palm*. Dinner was crap, my son wee’d on me and was up screaming half the night. On the plus side I got pretty drunk which helped with the not liking camping and creepy crawlies. Also got to know my partners family and friends a bit more. Looks like well be going again. This time I’ll be taking more painkillers as managed to dislocate my rib, not too sure how but I think it maybe something to do with our camp bed. Or my partner’s brother coming into the tent early in the morning and shouting “FIRE” at the top of his voice.

My son had his first eye test. Not good results he needs glasses and maybe an operation. Not good the eye lady said he had the eye sight of an 80yr old not good when his not long turnt 2 . We should be picking up some temporary glasses which is half the prescription he needs till we can see a specialist. Connor seems to like glasses which are a good thing just wondering if the novelty is going to wear off, then we have hell trying to keep them on him. Or if as he will be able to see better his going to be into everything and anything and drive me mental as his going to be getting into trouble. We chose Mr Tickle glasses they look sweet but it’s so strange seeing him in glasses.
