The END: Well it was a long 10 weeks but I have finally finished my 10 day course of THREE different antibiotics. I was very very very sick Wednesday and Friday night and then on Saturday night I was very sick again. I was almost in hospital but we have Endone here which is a form of morphine and I took that. I had nausea, headaches, very bad bad bad stomach pains, dizziness, aching arms and legs and I felt so tired and exhausted. These antibiotics are meant to get rid of my Blasto but I can't get re-tested for another 3 to 4 weeks!! I don't know how I'll be able to wait that long but hopefully the time will fly by. I know a lot of people have it a lot worse than me so I keep thinking about them to put my situation back in perspective.
I ended up having last Wednesday, Thursday and Friday as well as Monday to Thursday this week off school and today I went in for half a day of school. I have SEVEN, yes seven assignments due this term and FIVE exams (and I'm only in year 9) so I am quite behind with everything because I couldn't do any work when I was sick, so I haven't done anything since last Monday night cause I was sick on last Tuesday night. So I have A LOT to do!!
Before starting the antibiotics the doctor recommended that I had 2 colonic washouts to help them work. I was very apprehensive about it so my mum rang the lady and we went in on Friday a few weeks ago so I could see what it was like. I had my appointments the next Monday and Tuesday afternoon. The lady seemed really nice and welcoming so I went ahead and said yes. I arrived on Monday a little nervous but open minded. The insertion was fine and I felt no pain. The water then went quite hot and I told her and she turned it down and it went freezing. It then went freezing cold then boiling hot and I thought it was going to burn me. She had no control over the temperature and she couldn't keep it at a normal temp and was a little bit apologetic. She also answered her mobile phone TWICE during the procedure. The procedure was quite painful and it made my stomach pains really bad and I was crying at stages during the procedure and crying in pain again afterwards. After finishing we went out to pay and I was crying and she wanted to know why, so I told her that I was in lots of pain and I wouldn't be coming back tomorrow for another treatment. She then asked how long I had been sick and asked if I wanted to stay like this for the rest of my life. I am no doctor but she did not know my history, all she new was that I was about to start antibiotics for blasto and a colonic washout was only recommended. She could not provide me with any proof this could help the antibiotics work but my doctor believed it COULD help and that it had helped a few other ladies he had treated. That was 3 ladies that the antibiotics worked and they could have just worked on their own. The colonics lady did not know this. I believe it was not her place to put guilt on me and as we walked out I was so very upset. I am in the middle of writing a letter to the company telling them my experience.
Not last Saturday but the one before that (30 of July) 3 of my besties and my Japanese student (and my mum) were coming home from a little outing and we were driving along a main road at 9pm. We were coming over a hill and we noticed something on the road. At first we thought it was just a pile of clothes but then we realised it was a man!! He was on the right hand lane and we were in the middle lane. As we drove past he got up and danced over to the other lanes of traffic going the other way. He then got hit by a car as we went over the next hill and we didn't see anything after that. One of my friends who saw the most was very shocked and upset and we were all very shaken. We then pulled over and my mother rang the police and told them what we had seen and that she was not prepared to go back there as she had us 5 girls in the car. Well fast forward to last week and the police rang my mum. They told her he was a crazy man and had to be handcuffed just to get him in the ambulance. He's safe and well but he has a long criminal record/history. That was all a bit scary but we are all just fine.
I won my first giveaway today and I was absolutely ecstatic!! It really made me feel so much better and it was a pattern I almost bought a few weeks ago. The pattern is from made but I won it on this blog. I can't wait to start making dresses for me for a cruise we are going on in December and for cute little other girlies I know!!
Well I think thats all I've missed for now. I have to go and start some assignments and watch some TV!!
Have a great weekend!!
