Sunday 25th Setember 2016

Today has been an absolute disaster for me. I was suppose to be going to Redwing Riding School for a few hours to spend time and groom the horses and ponies but my stomach decided that it was going to play up, sometimes I really think that it does it on purpose. I love the riding school that I am at but the toilets are quite far away from where the school actually is, it's maybe a mile that goes uphill slightly. My biggest fear like every other person with IBD is not being able to get to the toilet in time and with the way my anxiety is it would probably cause me to have a panic attack plus the amount of times I would have trek back and forth to the toilet would just be too much. The good news is there is a toilet going to be installed at the riding school so that means I will be able to spend some time there even if my stomach is just acting up a bit amount. 

Another thing that hasn't gone too well is my teeth. It's not all bad the bottom set is completely fine, I can speak normally and drink with them in but due to my oesophageal stricture's I am not eating with them in for fear that I choke myself, have to bring stuff back up and they end up in falling down the toilet, lol. The top set of teeth on the other hand does not want to stay in though which is a real pest. They stayed in fine the day that I got them but ever since then they will not stay in, I have even been using fixodent which is an adhesive but no success. My dentist told me that the set that was likely to cause me the most problems is the bottom one but as usual I never do things the easy way, I have a review appointment with the dentist next week so hopefully I can get it sorted out.  

One good thing did happen this week and that was I got my new glasses. I should have had my eyes tested many years ago but due to the agoraphobia I never did get them tested until 6 weeks ago. It didn't take 6 weeks for them to be ready it's just that my anxiety kept getting the better of me and it took me a while to overcome it. As it had been 6 years since I last got myself new frames I decided to treat myself to pair and this time I decided to try a new look. For a very long time now I have always gone with black rectangular type frames but this time I decided to add a bit of colour. 




This pair are by a Danish company called Kliik and the frames iare the 536 in the colour fuschia black. I don't know if this happens in other countries but a lot of opticians in the UK including the one that I went to do the buy one get one free, so I took full advantage of this and got myself a pair of sunglasses too. 



I honestly can not remember who these ones are made by but there is a name on the leg says Rowan.

Well that is it for this post and I am sorry that it is a long one but I had so much that I wanted to write about.
