I'm still standing...sort of!

Hi everyone!! Wow it has been a while but I am happy to be blogging again. I will give you a bit of an update as to why I have been away for such a long time. A week and a half ago I fell really hard in the shower. I was unconscious for about half an hour and woke up with an extreme pain in my entire back. I actually woke up on my couch, so I managed to get myself out of the shower and on the couch, and I still don't know how I did that to be honest, as I don't have any memory of it. I called my mum and she came to my house with my dad (they live in the same street which was a real blessing, especially now) we then called the doctor and she did some tests to see if my brain was ok. All went well and I got through the tests just fine. I did  have to take 9 pills(doctors orders you know) a day though to deal with the pain. A few days later I had to go to the hospital for an xray of my back and chest. Nothing was seen on the pictures thankfully. This friday I have to go to the hospital again for a brain scan, to be sure my fall wasn't caused by something in the brain. But the doctors say they are positive they won't find anything, so fingers crossed! So yeah, that is it. I am still super soar and stiff and walking is still not easy. But I get by now and every day I feel a bit better. My friends were totally awesome and I was spoiled with cards, flowers, cupcakes and many visits, all to cheer me up. 


And my parents were literally at my side for days after all this happened, walking me to the bathroom (oh boy),making me tea, cooking for me, doing my grocery shopping and so on. They're the best!
Now that I have a bit more energy I can't wait to blog more regularly. I still have some great Paris pictures to share, among many other things!

For now, I still have to take it easy and rest alot. That gives me time the drink looots of tea and so some colouring and letter writing. Isn't this owl cool? I love it. Have a great day everyone and 'see' you soon!

  1. Gosh, scary! I passed out in the shower once back in college. Luckily, my bf at the time heard me fall and came in shortly after to get me out. It turned out I was super dehydrated and sick. I hope you feel better very soon!
