Personal Update - When life gives you lemons...

So this part week and a bit I’ve been unwell with bad reflux and a bladder infection. Now I’m feeling better, but unfortunately I was feeling sick on Monday which also happened to be my Birthday. It mostly sucked because I wasn’t really hungry and when I did eat it made me feel worse (Reflux sucks! I get why babies cry when they have it. It’s terrible!).

Then my mum’s bad back played up really badly (she has two/three bulging discs) that I had to call the ambulance on Wednesday as the pain was so bad she couldn’t d stand or move as the pain made her feel so dizzy. They arrived very quickly and after dosing her up on strong pain medication in the hospital she came home. She’s doing a bit better but she can’t sit down and she either lies down or walks around the house.

The reflux I realise it probably due to my IBS. The past few weeks have been stressful with uni placement. I ended up having to do a corrective action plan as my agency supervisor was worried I wasn’t meeting several competencies. After coming up with objectives I had to put strategies in place and I was very stressed that I wouldn’t improve and then fail the placement. However, after meeting with both my agency and uni supervisors, they were happy with the improvements and encouraged me to keep going strong with the improvements. Honestly, it’s hard doing a placement but it’s more difficult when you have disabilities.

Anyway, I’m looking forward to tomorrow as I can finally celebrate my belated birthday with two friends!

I hope everyone else is well. Feel free to update me on your life by leaving a comment :)

I am sorry that your reflux was acting up. I get pretty bad reflux from time to time and it can make life pretty miserable. I am so glad that you are starting to feel better. Your poor mom. Hopefully she gets some relief soon.

Happy Belated Birthday!
