I’ve been battling with this decision for weeks. I’ve always been on the ice, ever since I was 5 years old, and it’s been 26 years. I want to skate so badly, but many medical professionals have told me it’s not a good idea. I respect their opinion, and I do agree that it’s coming…

Skating and addiction Update
Hey guys, It’s been a while since I updated you on my favourite sport. So… I have been skating still. Not as much as I used to in the past and there have been reasons for that. I went back into competitions last year (2023-2024) season. I did two competitions I believe before I withdrew…

Appointment with Surgeon

Rant on Weight Loss – It does not change everything
So I am in the process of trying to prove to Medical Professionals and pretty much everyone out there that- weight-loss does NOT take away the pain completely and make someone who is Chronically Ill magically better. In fact. I will start off saying it is case to case. Some people it might. But for…
November 23rd, 2019 Competition
Competition Number 5 was on November 23rd, 2019. This time my (dance) coach and I headed out to the middle of nowhere to get a second opinion. It was in Farnham. So legit an arena in the middle of the bush. Now, this week. I have been having severe pain with my knees. While I…

Brain Injury Awareness Day

Shaky Mental Health
***WARNING: SENSITIVE CONTENT/IMAGES. VIEW WITH CAUTION. 11/06/2019-Ongoing These past two or so weeks have been tough. And honestly, I have no idea why. I am thinking either I am just extremely exhausted (Working 40 hours a week, school ending etc). Another thing is, I haven’t skated in over a week because of the injection procedure. So…
Number 8.
Today (June 11th, 2019) I went for my Spine Injection Procedure #8. And of course. Like almost every other procedure I have had, my period decided to pop up. (Everyone think’s it’s related to the stress). So basically I went in, in the afternoon. There was a lot of people waiting in the room so…
Long day at the Hospital

My appointment was around 2:30, the doctor was slightly late, nothing later then 10 minutes. But out of all the times he has been on time or early this was nowhere…
Chronic Exhaustion
So these past few days I have been dying of exhaustion. Like I don’t think it is possible to be any more tired then I already am. Now here is the thing. There is one problem. NOTHING HAS CHANGED. My schedule has remained roughly the same. Maybe a few changes here and there but nothing…
