Well….this week has been a ball of fun, it really has! (Note: sarcasm)

First night of uni, went out (slightly drunken) and popped my shoulder out it’s socket. Was dancing with a guy I’m seeing who is quite alot taller than me and he had hold of my arm, and I moved away quite fast and he didn’t let go and it just came out :( Blahh, I’m so annoyed. I did it this year in January in a skiing accident and now it’s a recurring injury and the hospital have said I may need surgery on it!!

I have felt so shit these past few days. I think it’s been a mixutre of being on Roac and then all the drugs they gave me in the hospital (they gave me Morphine to put in back in) and I just haven’t been able to handle the way I’ve been feeling. Just generally been feeling down and miserable and like I don’t want to do anything, and naseous with a headache. I feel miles better today though.

I’m absolutely gutted though as I started my new job only last week and now I’m going to be off for the next 6 weeks!

Other side effects this week have been really sore stinging lips. I’ve lost both of my carmex and haven’t been bothered to go and buy anymore and now they’re really swollen. I also had an infected finger at the bottom of my nail and I read the roac information leaflet and it said one of the side effects is infections at the base of the nail (1 in 10,000) lucky me! It’s gone now though. I also had a cold for about 5 days last week which had me waking up in the middle of the night unable to breathe out my nose…I’m blaming the roac giving me such a weak immunue system :) Skin hasn’t been so dry but maybe I’m just getting used to it.

All in all, this has been the worst week so far on Roac for me. In the past 2 weeks I’ve had about 10 spots which really isn’t so bad…but I just feel like giving up at the moment. I hope you’ve all had a better week than me!! (And don’t dance too low to Flo Rida with a boy who is way taller than you….word of warning..)

lol. Aww sorry to hear about your crappy week. Poor lad.. thinking he broke your shoulder!! I know how you feel re: miserable.. I bet the morphine didn’t help with that at all as would have give you a big high, then the big low following it.

I hope week 6 is a better one x

I hope you made him feel suitably guilty. That’s got to be worth a bunch of flowers at the very least!
