So I didn't get much sleep and got up with hubby who leaves for work at 7am. Was lovely seeing him in the morning. Knee was burning like hell and hurt :( It sucked! So flicked through netflix and lovefilm on the xbox trying to just ignore the feeling.

As time goes on (still on bed rest for right ankle) I felt worst and worst, knee pain grew and the swelling grew too! Ended up having to do 10 minutes with ice, wait 10 minutes, then continue with 10 minutes.

But as time went on. It got worst! Hubby came home, couldn't believe the size, so called my GP who gave me advice and said he was coming out... Could be a joint infection... I dunno.. So I waited and thank god it went down and the doctor said to rest.

So tired! May go sleep in bed all snuggled up  and warm!!!

Below is a picture of my knee and leg swollen compared to the other one ( The right one is the bad one)
 It got even bigger than that a hour or two later!!! =O  Goodnight people!

Well.. What happened this day.. Hmm... Had a rough week with dislocations/sub-luxes. Today was the worst of the week - both my ankles decided to pop out. Causing me to nearly fall but luckily grabbed on to the bed. 

Both ankles were in agony - but put left one in easily and the worst one was defo my right one which I noticed seemed to have a small hard looking bump poking against the skin. It looked abnormal as hell! So I took my Tramadol and Paracetamol and some anti-sickness to stop me from vomiting. Once the hubby got hoe we finally decided to just get it checked out at the hospital as I was in a lot of pain and the ankle could have took some injury from it.

The ambulance came out & they gave me a mask rather than a nozzle to use with gas & air which was so much better than the nozzle guys! It gets into your lungs quicker and it's excellent. They got me to shuffle down on my bum ( that was a sight I'll tell ya! ) and got me to hospital where I met a very nice guy in hand-cuffs escorted round by two police officers who had possibly dislocated his fingers. Also a 6 year old girl who had broken a bone in her elbow!! By end of it, doctor says a small tendon had ripped and curled to form a ball under skin and I have sprained the right ankle! AGAIN! Oh the joy! Was so happy to get home and got a taxi home.

Below is 2 pictures of my ankle wrapped up nicely by the doctor to help reduce swelling AND support it :)

Welcome!!

Hey! Thanks for viewing my little Blog/Online Diary - I just wanted to put something on here to share my story. To show people even with conditions like hyper-mobility syndrome, fibromyalgia and other conditions that are classed as 'invisible' to others - That you can get through this.

I will be a posting my process on here & hopefully show that it can be done!!

Below is a photo of me. (On my 22nd birthday, that was 7th May 2012) I wasn't 100% then but much better than I am now! But - I WILL get better than I was that day - It is a promise I am making to myself. As in this photo I looked quite pale and felt a little rough! Always have a smile on your face!!
