Since I last posted not much has changed. I did finally get my test results from Cleveland Clinic, and they were normal. The results don't mean that I don't have EDS, but it means I don't necessarily have it either. So I now have a referral to pain management to start getting things figured out.
I finally really feel like there is some hope of things changing. I am definitely on the right path to figure out what the heck is going on with my health.
on to other things....
I'm not going to be going to school this semester because davenport is a big ole pain in the ass, but I'm thinking a school change might happen and I will be going again in january.
I don't really have much going on in my life. I spend my days with Dublin trying to keep him out of trouble, and when he is behaving I read, knit or crochet. I keep things pretty boring around here for the most part.

No the world has not stopped turning...I am actually updating.
A lot has happened in the past month or so. At the End of July I journeyed to Cleveland Clinic to be seen by a specialist. Not much has happened so far, but the visit definitely gave me hope that they will be able to help me.
The doctor I saw thought that between herself and several other specialists that we would be able to figure something out so that I can function. While I was there I had some genetic testing done, and now I am just waiting for those test results and once those come in I will be setting up and appointment with several different specialist. IT will definitely be a jam packed day next time I go. The doctor I saw mention that I should see orthopedics, neurology, neurosurgery, pain management and her again. Luckily I should be able to get all the appointments in one day.
On a much more upbeat and exciting note, ON August 2, my sister gave birth to the most beautiful little boy in the whole world. Peyton James was born weighing in at 8lbs 9oz and 20.5 inches long.
I'm so excited to finally be an Aunt. Its very fun so far and I love going to see him. My parents and I really never go more than a couple days without seeing him. :)
It is getting down to crunch time and school is going to be starting up again very very soon. I'm definitely not looking forward to it, but oh well life goes on and I have to go. :(
I'm hoping that this school year goes much more smoothly for me than last year. I would actually like to make some progress instead of getting sick and constantly having to withdraw from school. It would be a refreshing change to actually accomplish something for once.
Well that is all I have for now. Hopefully I remember to update again soon.

So I'm a really, really horrible blogger....
Here is a little update on what is going on in my world...It has been a really busy and crazy year.
Just after the first of the year my best friend passed away from a long time struggle with some auto immune health issues and that has been really hard to deal with. I miss her more than words can convey.
She was my rock. She was the one person that I could talk to about all of my health problems and just be able to vent without getting the pity that you see from most people. I still can't believe that she is gone.
I ended up taking a break from classes during the winter since I just could not focus on it.
In february I had my 8th knee surgery, but it was a super easy recovery. I also got a major procedure done on my back that once again failed. I was then pretty much kicked out of my pain clinic because they were unable to come up with any way to treat my pain. :(
In March my mom had surgery on her hip and then we spent the next couple months in and out of the hospital with her due to a bunch of complications. So, needless to say it has been hectic.
Mom just had surgery again a week or so ago, and that did not go as planned and she will be having partial knee replacements done in a few months.
In terms of my health I am now waiting to head to Cleveland Clinic. I was originally supposed to go the end of June, but I was rescheduled for the end of July, so it is coming up next week.
I don't really have very high expectation for the visit, but then again, I never have high expectations when it comes to doctors. :) I know that I am sick to death of feeling like crap and I need some type of change soon. I can't continue to live like this.
On a good and exciting note, my sister is Prego and about to pop any day now. I am so excited to be an Aunt. I look forward to having the little one to play with. We also don't know the gender of the baby, so I'm looking forward to finding out what it is.
Since I had baby stuff to make, I have gotten a ton of knitting and crocheting done. The baby is going to be incredibly spoiled. :)
I have also gotten a couple things done for me lately and that has been nice.
I am hopefully going to get better and keeping this thing updated. :) Wish me luck.
