I have finished my cross stitch :D woooo hoooo finally had a week of no hospital appointments which helped me to do more. So here it is : 
Have to share it with everyone as this has been quite a challenge for me due to the lack of use from one hand.
OMG!!! The past week has been one i wish i could erase. I have had 9 hours sleep in 5 days, been to so many hospital appointments and in more pain than usual. One good thing that came out of it was i have been accepted on some drug trials to try and reduce the pain i am in. Which to me is brilliant as i will try anything to reduce this pain. Anyway i have joined a forum of people that know what i am going through and are all very nice, caring and very friendly people. It was suggested to me that i need a hobby/ distraction from the pain/depression etc. So i bought a cross stitch kit and have been doing it for a week now... After the week i have had i decided i was not going to do anything today only stuff i want to.... so i did my cross stitch and here it is so far....
So while i was doing this my other half was doing what he normally does which was making noise and enjoying himself.. i have proof... but shhhhhh dont tell him hahaha
Being off work is boring and there is only so much housework one can do.
So today I thought of something to do.. My friend yati likes flowers and buys them on regular occassions so it gave me an idea.... and here it is : 
A Special Flower i did just for yati.... Its not painted ( im not that talented haha ) it was something i put together using photoshop.
Any way im going to go back to playing around and Yati i hope you like it.
Also if anyone has any ideas or inspiration just leave me a mesg and it will give me something to do
Ok so its 11.30pm and i cant sleep so i thought i would come and share part of my day with you all.
Had Torture Clinic (physio) this afternoon.
Went in and told her that with whatever she did the week previous it really aggravated my pain, so she said that i had permission to call her a B*tch haha. But then all jokes aside we were going to look at relieving my pain today not increasing it.(but i took painkillers before... thinking id be clever).
So she pulled my arm about, prodded my shoulder and my spine. Yes it hurt but not severley. Then she got me to try crossing my arms and twisting side to side.... OH BOY did that hurt.
She wasnt impressed when i did this as it made her realise i was worse than she originally suspected.. (awkward as usual).
Anyway i walked out of there in pain but not huge amounts like before.
Well i thought i had escaped it this week but OH NO.... painkillers started to wear off and man did i feel it..my arm/shoulder really hurt...which made me grumpy and abit upset.
Its part of the reason i am sat here typing all this nonsense.... i went to bed and after i had a big hug and abit of a cry on paul i tried to get comfortable.
Turned out that was useless because i couldnt and i would move so it eased the pain the 5 minutes later have to move again and this was disturbing paul. So i got back up and here i am :D
Only evil people that like to inflict pain become physiotherapists!!!!
Way of venting anger...
Hi Im pain
Not temporary
But permanent
Sometimes I ache
Sometimes I pulsate
Other times I am shooting you
But you cant stop me
You cant see me!
And yet I control you
In more ways you can imagine
I will make you miserable
I will rob all your dignity
I will make loved ones miserable
And fill you full of fear
I am your new enemy
Here to ruin your life
Even doctors fear me
Do they know what to do with me?
I hear you ask yourself
Will I ever be rid of it??
Will I ever be free??
Will I have my life back??
Or lose all that means the world to me??
I can here you deep down
Begging and pleading
But am I taking notice?
Youll have to wait and see
Im Danni aka Cheeky.
I have been off work for 7 months and im going insane. So I decided to start a blog about my ever exciting life after seeing and reading my friends one (YATI).
Ok why don't we start with why I have been off work for 7 months shall we...........
Just over 2 years ago I had an accident at work and broke my right wrist. Alright I thought 6 weeks off work in plaster.. Not the end of the world ill get over it. Well it wasn't that easy... I had to spend 1 week of that in Spain and also had to find clothes to go with a bright orange plaster which wasn't easy.
Went back to the hospital and had it cut off then first priority was washing it (it gets abit whiffy in there). Was x rayed again ... all ok so was sent home and back to work.
But as this is my life it wasn't that simple. I was still in a lot of pain along with swelling discolouration and lack of mobility. After being told by a consultant it was all in my head he sent me for an MRI scan. I was finally told that there was something wrong, I know have something called REFLEX SYMPATHETIC DYSTROPHY (RSD) . Yep I bet ya face looked the same reading that as when I was told HAHA.
I wont go into the gritty detail but basically I am in constant pain with swelling, lack of movement, discolouration and the list goes on. If you are at all interested about it then please have a look.....RSD.
I have had two nerve blocks done to try and relieve the pain but without any luck. One of them actually made my hand worse....which is why I am off work again. So now the plan is keep doing Physio (torture clinic as I call it) and wait for acupuncture appointment.
But I have to Give lots of thanks to my partner Paul... He has been brilliant through all of it. Also to all the new people that I have met on RSDUK forum..... You are all very helpful and help to make a difference.
