So great that I finally have Internet connection on a computer rather than my phone - it's so difficult to type a long blog post off my phone and it wasn't worth posting a short one as I've got a lot to say this time :) Am still on holiday as you guessed but will be home next week. Looking forward to coming home as I am in a lot of pain and my leg ulcer/wound is bleeding a lot and is very fluid once again, unfortunately.
We've been out shopping so much and have bought some wonderful gifts and souvenirs; namely dresses, keyrings and stationery! Having a great time despite the heat; the food is great! Results day was yesterday and the news was pretty good although having to wait till 6pm local time (11am BST) was awful as my father had to call up the school then and let me know of the results! I'm still in with a chance to medical school which is fantastic news and I can't wait to be back to celebrate with my Dad. Missing him lots but hear from him every day so it's not so bad.
Will be going out to high tea today, in a hotel on the 70th floor(!) to celebrate my results. This post isn't as long as I'd like it to be but I've got to be off now to get ready. It's 9am local time and my family is waking up. Post again later :)
Sharing the ups and downs of life as a twenty-something year old medic. I have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, postural tachycardia, persistent hypotension, a platelet function defect, gastroparesis and intestinal dysmotility, and am overcoming AVM and osteomyelitis. I am also TPN-dependent. Follow the rest of my journey at www.nogutfeelings.blogspot.co.uk
Congratulations on your results.
ReplyDeleteJust sorry your leg is so bad.
High tea, lucky you, its the middle of the night here but my stomach is rumbling and I could demolish a high tea!
I am so pleased for you that your results are through and I hope you are very, very proud of yourself, success like this deserves celebrating especially considering everything that you have been through. The fact that you remain so upbeat despite the fact that again you are in pain is inspirational.
Thankyou! Dreams of medical school are very much still alive :) I'll be the understanding rheumatologist coming to a hospital near you in years to come (I hope)!!! You are such a sweet person - I am very happy with my grades and feel that they are a credit to those around me and who have helped me. High tea wasn't as great as it sounded, but the view from the 70th floor sure was amazing! Thanks for your kind words, I am just pleased that I am able to carry on my life despite all the challenges!
