Graduation!



I am a high school graduate! I can not believe I actually survived senior year, it has been a trying one. This whole weekend has been amazing. Since I am really exhausted I am going to just post pictures.


I am so proud of my cap, I free handed it!


So Ready!

Waiting to get in to the all night Post Graduation Party!


Relaxing at a Post Post Graduation Party Party!
And tomorrow is the scope on my left hip. I am so excited to get to the other side of this surgery, and can not wait to be back on Voltaren. Have I mentioned how much I love Voltaren recently?

The Swollen Wrist

This morning I woke up to a red painful swollen wrist. My right wrist was not happy or useable for the better part of the morning. Of course my mom wanted to make a rheumatologist appointment for this week but I really did not think it is worth it. Since I am now in the 2 week period before my hip surgery I can not take anything but Tylenol anyway (no voltaren or fancy cream), so there is not a whole lot that can be done. We finally settled on me going to my GP (for the 2nd time in one week as I had a pre-op appointment with him on Monday), and I took a picture so I can show my rheumy at my next appointment. I managed to get an appointment at 11AM because my GP was in the office this Saturday. By the time of the appointment my wrist looked pretty normal, although I had the picture so he could see something was up. He had it x-rayed just to rule out any issues non rheumatology related, and as we both guessed the x-rays came out normal. My Lovely Wrist this Morning I was left wit

The Perfect Body?

Today I am going to write about a taboo subject- body image, and how living with chronic illness/pain has affected it. I get told how great my body is a lot, I am tall and fairly skinny. Not to be egotistic but I look pretty good in a bikini. I should love how I look. I should be confident of my body, after all I just bought a pair of size 2 jeans. Yet I still struggle with loving my body. My New Jeans! In middle school I thought my legs were fat, that was when I had muscles from horseback riding, today I miss my muscular legs. My thighs tend to be two different sizes, the left one is almost always smaller. The reason for this is simple, my left quad has atrophied from months of limping and being on crutches when I was 15/16, at one point it was so bad my doctor measured it and the difference was a good 2 cm in circumference. Today they are almost the same size, and probably look the same to anyone else, but to me they still look different. If you haven't guessed it yet,

30 Things You May Not Know About My Invisible Illness

I am doing this post for invisible illness week which is this week.  1. The illness I live with is: Enthesitis, Amplified Musculoskeletal Pain(AMP), and Uveitis 2. I was diagnosed with it in the year: Uveitis-2012, Enthesitis and AMP-2013 3. But I had symptoms since: 2006 4. The biggest adjustment I’ve had to make is: I have had to learn I can't do everything I want or everything that other people my age are doing. 5. Most people assume: I am perfectly fine or I just have osteoarthritis and not an autoimmune disease. 6. The hardest part about mornings are: Getting out of bed, doing my hair, and figuring out what outfit will be the most comfortable for the day (and accommodate any swelling I may have) 7. My favorite medical TV show is: Grey's Anatomy (and Scrubs even if it is no longer on) 8. A gadget I couldn’t live without is: My Freezer 9. The hardest part about nights are: Not being able to fall asleep in a comfortable position and waking up in the middle of the night in p
