Helllllooooo Lovely People
It has been so long since I last posted and with so much going on.
I don't even know where to begin but I hope you are all doing well.
Lets see…. So 2 weeks before I was flying out to the States I got a rather bad chest infection. I don't even remember the last time I had one or if I've ever had one. It was horrible. The pain was as bad as my Gastroparesis pains at some points and it was so hard to breathe at stages. I had a high temperature and felt like complete and utter shi* to be quite honest. It doesn't end there mind you. As if that wasn't bad enough, my tube got blocked on this same week which meant I couldn't take my medication through my tube which meant my GP symptoms suffered too. NIGHTMARE. You think that it ends there? HAHA come on…. this is me we are talking about…. I don't do things by halves. I then had a reaction to the second load of antibiotics and bought each dose back up and had blood in my poops to be polite (probably TMI I know but I like to be honest with you). I then had a new tube put in 5 days before I went on my holiday. Apparently I had a reaction to one of the medications they use to knock you out and my arm that had the cannula in all went read. Can't say I witnessed that mind you as I was sparko.
That all put aside, I had an AMAZING holiday with my best friend in which I thankfully was well enough for and kicked GP's butt. I ate a few too many pancakes and Cheetos and still had an amazing time and did what we wanted to do. I also become very accustomed to a Starbuck Cotton Candy Frap or 2 or 3 or so. They're so so yummy and seriously need to be bought over to the UK…. Just saying! I may have got the consequences but I managed to put my mind set into 'I will do what I want and the pain will go away'. Okay, so it didn't go away but mind over matter can do a lot when you really put your mind to it. Can't say I've eaten all too much since I've been home as I still feel extremely bloated. America was amazing. It is 10 years this year since I last went to Disney in Orlando, so it was pretty special. I got some amazing pictures of the Magic Kingdom Fireworks display and of memories that'll last forever. I managed to achieve so much in those 10 days all of which I am so proud of. Everything went so smoothly aside from the shuttle getting us to the airport late on the way home (unfortunately we were still able to check in and get on the flight home haha) I also bought and spent so much it's ridiculous. All work no play for me for the foreseeable future haha.
Here are just a few (of the 730) pictures we took whilst there :D
On the eating pain, it is definably still there but like I think I have said previously, the pain seems to come with a delayed response. Which helps me out because I can get somewhere and move from the table after I eat and get somewhere more appropriate. I think we are going to layer up the Pregabalin to try get the pain more under control because I am still getting bad pain at times and sharps pains after I eat all the time which can and did sometimes stop me being able to do things for a while after which sucks soooo much!!
As of Monday 24th March, I am now a Receptionist of a hotel and not working at Starbucks. It took me ages to make the decision but I think it is the right one moving over. I'm still within the same hotel I was already in, so that makes it a bit easier as I already know the staff and the hotel and people in other departments etc. It's so weird not knowing what to do for the first time in 3 or 4 years I think it is now. I'm used to telling people what to do or what needs doing, not me being told or having to ask questions all the time. I can grow so much more now and have so many more opportunities being on the Reception as I couldn't go anywhere from my Starbucks job. It was time for change and my new manager in the Reception is so lovely so that's even better. She's so supportive and seems to genuinely care which is nice to have :) So far, my mind is just spinning on overload with all the information thrown at me but I'm sure it'll all get easier over time. I managed to half check someone in today… it's just when it gets to the paying and charging their card I get a taddddd confused and pass it over hehe…. I shall keep you updated on that.
I think that is everything covered without going on for too long and boring you all to tears. We wouldn't want that now would we?
I hope you've all been well!!
Todays question for the post is: If you could change job, what job would you change to?
