Seriously, I have the worst luck of anyone I know. I have the worse wheelchair I have ever had, the bolt broke out of the front left caster. I have lost count on how many issues I've had with this wheelchair in the about 14 months I have had this wheelchair. I called the wheelchair dealer, they are not coming to fix my wheelchair until Wednesday. Until then I am borrowing a friends wheelchair. My friend's chair is much bigger than my own, he's almost 5'9 and a big guy, so this chair is hard to push around, but at least I can get around. It's just an extra workout for me.

I really hate my current wheelchair, I want a new wheelchair, but insurance will not cover a new wheelchair. So, looks like I need to start saving up..

Earthquake 08/23/2011
 
  So, since Sunday I've been caring for my sick little man. He is starting to get better today, but still not back to 100% better. But, we still had an interesting day because we felt the earthquake on the east coast of the US.

 I had just transferred from my wheelchair onto my bed, I was starting to pull my jeans off, I got them off my hips, down mid thigh when I felt my bed shake, heard picture frames in my hallway move a little. and felt like my whole apartment building move. I quickly pulled my jeans back on and transferred back into my wheelchair, I wanted to see how my son was, he was laying on the couch waching a movie, he instantly told me the tv was shaking. We switched the TV to the news and saw it was a 5.8-magnitude earthquake centered northwest of Richmond, Va. I explained to my boy about what causes an earthquake, and then when the news mentioned after shocks I explained those.

My boy did actually seemed pretty good late this afternoon so we took a walk, we stopped by the pool so he could sit on the side and put his legs in. And just a few minutes later he walked up to me not looking to good again. He climbed right onto my lap, put his head on my chest, and took a short nap on me. I just sat there enjoyed the fresh air before I woke him and tried to get him ready to walk back to our apartment so I could give him some more medicine and he could lay down for a little bit while I made dinner.  I made one of his favorites, breakfast for dinner, pancakes. I was hoping to get him to get eat, but he really only ate a few bites.

   So, I had a nice week spending time where I grew up. Spending time with my dad and my son. played outside a lot, got into the hot tub everyday. Which getting in and out of the hot tub was always interesting.  I could lift myself onto the hot tub, then trying to hold myself up with one arm and trying to grab my left leg with my other arm to put it in the hot tub, and then again grab my right leg to lift it into the hot tub, then  lower myself into the seat in the corner. Ah, the jets felt so good on my back, my lower spine, just above where my Spina Bifida scar is has been hurting pretty often lately, so it was nice to sit in the hot tub. Not so much relaxing with my boy thinking it's a small pool, lol. But still nice to get into every day, usually twice a day. Going out for seafood one night, I was so happy, you have no idea. I grew up in this townstarting in middle school by the water in a very small tourist town, so I love to be by the water and love seafood.

  Only problem I had while I was out of town finally it happened, the front left wheel caster broke, that was on Wednesday, the plan was for me to stay at my Dad's till Saturday, so my dad went into his garage and found..oh hell, not even sure what to call this thing, a plastic cable pull tie. So far it's holding, but since it's the weekend I know no one from the wheelchair company is there to answer the phones now that I am home so I'm hoping it holds till Monday, then I'm sure there will be a few days I am without my wheelchair, I think this company will provide me with a loaner wheelchair, at least I hope so. If you couldn't guess it, I'm so sick of my wheelchair falling apart. It's such a problem wheelchair. To the people who read my blog who are in wheelchairs, in case you are wondering, the wheelchair I have that keeps breaking is Quickie's Q7. I strongly hate it, and I've only had this wheelchair for  15 months.

Sorry Guys 07/27/2011
 
Wow, my last post on here was back in May..So much has been going on with me, been ill for far too much, not feeling good at all this week, I can't seem to wake up, no amount of caffeine helps. Ugh, Hopefully I am feeling better soon. I tried to make a video yesterday, but you could just tell by looking at my face I really was exhausted and ready to pass the heck out...

    So, besides not feeling well ya'll know I still can't get away with doing nothing around here. It's summer time so I am busy with my kiddo (I have just one child) home on summer vacation. I have forced myself to get him out every day to go to the pool (except last week when it was between 115-118 degrees Fahrenheit outside) . Also spent a week taking kiddo to and from basketball camp, so now we are outside playing some basketball pretty often. And next week it's soccer camp since he decided to not do football this year (kinda glad he decided to not play football because that would have meant practice 4 times a week and I know at this age, he is not ready for that)

  Let's see Also on July 16th, I turned 30 years old! I had such a great night with friends and family. Had a few drinks..and managed to fall out of my wheelchair twice (man, do I have some skills or what? lol)

 I really hope I am better soon, I hope to have some new stuff on gimpsgonewild.com when I am feeling good. also, click custom work on the menu on the left side of this page if you would like to pay for me to do a custom video for you.

And note to my GGW club members, yahoo instant messenger is totally screwing up I can't get on any of my screen names, but I can check e-mail and other things.... waiting to hear back from yahoo. I'm not ignoring you guys promise. I hope to be able to be on there next week. If I can't I'll try seeing if a new screen name will work and I'll have new screen name added to my GGW Club Page. Also, hope you guys enjoyed my new pictures on there.

xoxo, Christen


PS. PC I sent you an e-mail to the e-mail you wrote on my form space. check your spam folder if it's not in your inbox. no I'm not ignoring you. I miss ya fool! :P

 It's sad when you are so happy to go four days with not going back into the hospital. I truely have seen far to much of the inside of the local hospitals. In April it was what they finally declared as severe migraines and not my shunt malfuctioning. I still find it incredible I have had the same shunt for almost 30 years and nothing ever done to it, the tubing was never made longer or anything. I am now for the most part only taking a migraine medicine for the headaches and rarely needing to take the stronger pain killers. Then my last two trips to the hospital in the last few weeks, the first time I had the leg infection back in my right leg, and a few other things wrong that I would rather keep to myself. I was in the hospital 8 days. I came home on a Thursday night, and was re-admitted back into the hospital in the early hours Saturday. I was just getting sick every which way, constantly, non stop. and it's no help I am allergic to two well known really good nausea medications. After 4 days I finally kept down some broth for dinner and on day 5 starting at lunch I was able to hold down some real food so I was discharged the next day. Only thing they could come up with being wrong with me was all these different medications I had been on were making me sick. I was soo happy to get the central line taken out of my neck, my veins are horrible, and the picc line people do not work on the weekends so my only choice was the central line in my neck. I hated it, and getting sick only made that area hurt a hell of a lot more. And so happy to get home my kiddo. Friends watch him for me the last two hospital stays, did a great job taking care of him. I am so grateful for their help.

 I was home 24 freaking hours before I was admitted back into the hospital. I was getting really sick, not keeping a thing down. I had to get a centeral line in my neck since iv's just never really work for me, my veins are tiny and are to get. and then see I was barely peeing after two or three iv bags went through me I had a foley catheter put in me so the doctors could check the volume I was outputting, fun stuff. I spent 5 days not really keeping anything down before I finally started to hold down a little bit of food.

  If you've been counting this is my third hospital stay since april. I'm hoping I go longer not in the hospital. I just would like to be healthy enough to make it to the gym, its now been since March I have been not well enough to go to the gym.

 Last night, after 8 days in the hospital I was discharged and had hoped I would be ok at home. I am not. its only 2pm and I have already called family to come pick up my son and I when he gets home from school today because I am too shaky to care for myself right now let alone my son. Hopefully the shaky feeling passes before we need to come home Sunday night.

 Ok, so I am tired of writing about still having pain in my head and looking for answers, so I need some help, what would you all like to see me blog about?

I have no much going on right now in my life, taking pain meds, and doing my duties as a momma of high energy baseball playing kid (well baseball loving for the short season they have lol).
