Wow 7 months since I last was here have to say it has been a busy year with tests and hospital appointments.
I have had the bladder tests and been told I have stress incontinence and been given tablets to stop the leaking. I was put on 5mls but they weren't helping so when I had my check up 4 months from the tests they increased it to 10mls. I gave it a go and sadly that worked too well I was finding it hard to wee. So I have now gone back to 5mls. I would rather wee than not at all. I have been used to wearing pads now for 5 years and I shall carry on with that as well as doing pelvic floor exercises.
I am now back at living well ok its a good hour on the bus and then to collect my car from hubby's work but I have enjoyed being back managed to get back to swimming an hour till the buses were being late I stopped going and due to this I put on weight. I had a fall about 6 weeks ago and went to A&E nothing broken just had a badly sprained right ankle which hasn't healed. Its painful to walk on and that was the leg supoorting my left leg so waslking now is even harder.
I have a walker and wheelchair the walker is great not used the wheelchair as can't get it out of the flat. Now that is another thing to add had a report done on my living accommodation my OT and the flat is no longer suitable as I find it hard to get my walker or wheelchair out. As we have a huge step up into the flat.
So we filled a form out for the council had to appeal for them to understand my condition and that I need to move and need a 2 bed ground floor or bungalow. I have a carer in everyday which is great to some time getting used to someone doing things for me that wasn't my husband. But it has taken pressure of him we don't argue as much now he can relax when I am home alone knowing someone is popping in to help me getting washed shower and dressed and help with breakfast. It has been a learning thing about what I can and can't really do.
Am now waiting to hear if we have been successful in bidding on a flat close to where hubby works.
I really do hope the will consider us for it but we have only been on the list for a bout 3 months and I know there are loads of other people who will be bidding on the flat. So I just keep praying that we will get it.
No news on my dog for the disabled only that I past the medical and awaiting an appointment to see them. Also waiting to hear back from the DLA people as I have had to renew mine and hope it doesn't take to long as I can order my new car in November.
No luck on getting pregnant that could be down to my weight so being back at living well and back in the gym part doing it slowly and only what I can do without hurting myself. But I managed it the other day felt really good with myself. So I have upgraded my membership to full time so I can go at weekends now and go just before hubby finishes work. So more flexibility in when I can go.
Well not much else to say back at the hospital for check ups in November I do have another disc gone on my right side but the Dr says the op my work but it may not its only 50/50 so I said no don't want another op with those odds.
Trying to keep busy made some wedding invitations for a friend and now working on my old projects now. I need to keep busy as that's when I eat is from borden .
Will try and keep this going reading back from the beg is quite scary as I am still not better and won't be my Dr did say if the nerves were going to grow back they would of done by now.
So time toe focus on getting pregnant and losing weight so I can.
Had an amazing weekend a few weeks back after my family cam back from OZ they were away for 6 weeks and had missed them all especially my niece. Week after they got back we had a family get together for my sisters 40th and my cousins as well so a joint do. Was really pleased they both liked the chocolate tree and retro bomb from Chocadoodledo can be found on facebook.
