Hi everyone, this will be a blog for my (hopefully not) torturous three week inpatient "chronic pain rehabilitation" stay at the "Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital" at Stanmore, near London, England. I will try to blog here daily (phone reception permitting, as I will be tethering!) with photos (maybe videos) and recaps of my day! But if I can't, I will do a MEGA UPDATE™ at the weekends as I will be home! (the rehab centre shuts at weekends)
As most of you will know, I am a 24 year old guy and sufferer of the genetic conditions Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (Type III) and Marfan's Syndrome as well as Scoliosis, Autonomic Dysfunction, Irritable Bowel Syndrome and Bipolar II Disorder. That's quite a list, and sadly, some of them are getting worse. Hopefully this "visit" will help me deal with my various disorders and allow me to cope with day to day living, which at the moment I am unfortunately really badly struggling with.
My Stanmore visit will start on Monday 6th of December and end on the evening of Christmas Eve, meaning I'll miss the scheduled family Christmas Eve dinner, however, it has been rescheduled, so I won't miss out on my sausages wrapped in bacon! Because I love bacon (but doesn't everyone?!)
Please bare with my sometimes incoherent rambling and sudden tendencies to rant about things. I will try to stay on topic, but I will sometimes deviate, get distracted by things or just be generally nerdy! Hopefully this blog will keep me sane, as when I visited the hospital last month, I found it exceptionally creepy. Silent Hill creepy...
Post a pic of Pyramidhead for me if you see him ;D
