scar

i have been cleaning out my room and all the rubbish i dont need any more and i came across  my pictures of when i got my 1st cochlear implant here is me showing off my scar after getting my bandage removed! it looks huge  but it was worth all the soreness for 17 years of hearing my family n friends n music! the picture below is me showing off the cochlear implant mascots that they give to the kids after the operation this was  in 94 they have got bigger since then i assume they are a kangaroo and koala bear because they got the idea of the cochlear implant from the australians who did it first! i was in for a week n i had my op on the 24th febuary 1994 i had the 2nd one after i lost my 1st one to a bad ear infection and i didnt take any pictures of that one i assume coz i was a teen ager n i didnt want my pic taken n it happened so fast etc!

hot weather..

ohh so warm!!!! arggh my room was like a sauna with windows open lol we nnormally get a breeze from the busy road but its empty at night so no breeze etc  i had to meet my new carer at 11 michelle she was nice enough need to get to know her more tho! i had to drag myself to gym and then work my way through a exercise class at least it was cool in there  afterwards w got a few phamplets to see whats on in hte next few weeks i might try out some swimming clases i aint been swimming since i was a kid coz of the ear infections i used to catch! now its healthy i always a worry that its gonna come back etc but if im on the feed i have more chance of fighting it off!

after the gym we chilled out at the ropewaalk pub to chill to a cold drink outside n catch some rays! then we went home to discuss what we  could do on tues.! ohh we went to  castle hill too before we went to gym that was nice! we admirerd the view up castle h ill  n got some pics etc and we had a catch up n get to know each other after i lost victoria for personal reasons.

jazzed up ci...

Cleaned out my room and i found these

cold..

ive caught  a cold off my dad it maybe a simple thing to you or someone whos healthy but someone with a mitochondiral disease it can cause all sorts of problems like chest infections which ain't good news!! i had a chest infection last year and when i went to newcastle last year they were unhappy with me and how i was so i got depressed and ended up being sectioned but of course this was the wrong move for me and i got better on my own with antil depressants and the help of my family and friends

it may be a cold but i havent been able to eat or drink anything for 2 days coz if i do it goes down wrong hole and it wil cause me more problems so i have been on a continuous feed during the day to top up the fight against it coz my immune system is crappy at times! it can easily lead to a chest infections for me so i have been given antibiotics to prevent this from happening!

i only just managed to get some kip and fight this cold off im nearly there im not done yet!! but its still there and at least i can have a cup of tea now :) but im still not eating anything for now til im stronger!
i'll keep on sneezing and all that but i got my tissues in hand and my laptop for playing scrabble with!!! ha who says colds aint fun! :)

new look....

I thought it was time for a change and a new start life is on the up from here starting with a new blog background! :) hope u like it! x
