Just wanted to update people and get a few things off of my chest. Firstly I posted a whole ago now about having my boyfriend's niece to look after to help out his sister who has gone back to work and I wasn't sure how I would be able to look after her and do my mobile beauty work and be a carer for my dad, well yes fate intervened in a very unexpected way... A car accident.
In brief I was the front passenger in a car that was hit by a lady who jumped a red light and was speeding ( with no further action taken towards her from the police I might add ) but in brief I suffered whiplash, crushed nerves, soft tissue damage, severe bruising, and the discovery that my injuries were made worse due to me having hyper mobility syndrome ( the good thing is this was discovered now so I can take steps to prevent it getting worse, where possible )
I'm currently having physio but means I can't bend properly or lift heavy objects which pretty much involved all of my equipment especially my couch, I had just done some refresher courses to make sure I'm still up to date so you can imagine how frustrating that is, it's hard work and I cannot lift her but this has meant I now look after the baby an to be fair she has been one of the few things that make me smile through this.
I have been diagnosed with post traumatic stress syndrome and advised I seriously think about the future and my work and children as in severe cases you can literally become wheel chaired through pregnancy and after ( which at the moment we are not ready for our own children but is something to consider in the future ).
My mum has been ill for nearly a fortnight now and its undiagnosed but she had major heart surgery years ago so that all needs to be checked. My nan who is in her 90's, has informed us she has had enough now and wants to give up. She is very healthy but clearly misses her loved ones that have gone, so the things keeping me going ...
My dad is getting back on his feet( literally he is walking again with 2 sticks, i am so proud of him ) I am alive! It could of been so much worse, I found out about the hms, and I am now trying to concentrate on getting back on the straight and narrow so to speak.
We have decided to look for our own place to live and do out a room as a home salon to limit lifting and means I don't have to give up what I love doing. We have no savings at the moment and as you can imagine I have lost work through my limitations and this year work wise was really picking up, but we looked at some new builds the other day and both got very excited, planning for our future looking at silly things like sofas and lights lol I know I am lucky and there are so many people out the worse off that are just getting on with it. Ok so rant over lol x
