Update (yes, really)

Goodness, it's been over a month since i've entertained my two readers with my oh-so-interesting rambling!

Thats because we don't have internet at the apartment >.> but as the roof is being repaired, we are back with my MiL.

So here is an update in a nutshell:

-Did on the job training
-Had three shifts
-Had an incident on the third shift which resulted in me hurting my back
-Went on workers comp.
-Went into full on fibro flair
-Still figuring things out job wise, but it's quite possible I wont be able to return to that job :(

-Started back at Uni
-Going well.

-Started Cymbalta
-Hate Cymbalta
-Going off Cymbalta
-Starting to get withdrawal symptoms already, and i've only decreased the dose.
-If I still need something for anxiety, i'll try a naturopathic medicine. I'm tired of all these pills...

-Milo was doing really well with barking and doggy daycare
-Milo got a tummy bug :(
-Milo was fine
-Milo's tummy bug returned with vengeance
-Milo lost a lot of weight do to tummy bug :(
-We had to be very careful what he ate, while trying to get his weight up.
-Milo is doing much better :) weight is back up and he's happy

I haven't been able to go to any meet ups or hang out with anyone due to all this random stuff that keeps popping up. I've also been tired, not quite exhausted, but easily fatigued.

On a lighter note, i've finally started losing weight again! I believe this is due to both getting off some of the meds that cause weight gain and bringing a very healthy lunch with me to school. Plus I just haven't been able to handle as much crap.

As far as joints go, they haven't been too bad. My jaw on the right side had been painful off and on for about three weeks, but really it doesn't hurt me to have to eat oatmeal instead of chips ;). My R ankle is bothersome, also for about three weeks. Thats a bit more concerning, but there isn't really anything that can be done. My walking stick has been getting a work out! BTW, after speaking with my lovely counsellor, I have decided to refer to my walking stick as my Happy Stick from now on.

Update

It's been a looong week. I don't have internet other than on my phone, which is why I haven't been updating. So here is a quick recap;

-Moved in to the apartment, the move went well.
-Bran is on vacation, we got everything unpacked quickly.
-Milo is having some anxiety problems, barking and annoying neighbours.
-We forgot our washing machine hose at Everton Park. Oops..
-Very low on money >.> oops..
-I got the job! Yay!
-School starts on the 30th, still need to figure out classes >.>
-Need a bike.
-Started cymbalta, vertigo attacks went away within ours, now on 60 mg a day.

That's it in a nut shell. It's going to be a busy few weeks of training, on the job training, and starting back at school. We also found out we'll have to move out in a month for the roofers to replace the roof >.> thats a bit bothersome...oh well.

Hope everything is going well in blog land :)

Hopeful!

My interview went really well! It's what I thought it was, more of a "here is what we do. If you are able to do it, then here is an application". It involves quite hands on personal care, so it isn't everyone's cup of tea but I don't particularly mind. I do enjoy being able to help someone else one-on-one to live their life independently, so I can deal with the nitty-gritty :).


Today was better than yesterday, only a little bit of migrainey-dizziness. Just after I had my afternoon coffee hit, so i'm wondering if the extra caffeine or sugar had something to do with it. I did have a cookie thing yesterday right before the attack, so maybe sugar. Hips were sore, but otherwise not too bad. It was darn cold though!


I did slip a bit in the bath and hurt my R foot >.> we'll see how it looks tomorrow.


Now I sleep, two days until moving day!
