It's my birthday!!!! Finally 17 years old

Here it is my birthday. I am now 17 years old.

What did I do for my birthday? I had to be different. I spent the day as an outpatient in Royal Brisbane Hospital Xray Imaging Department being prepared, having an angiogram and then in recovery. I guess not many people have that hey! But I was allowed to return to Ronald McDonald House where I am right now. Good news though. The results of the angiogram, nothing wrong, everything looks great, so the nero consultant said. He did say he wants a MRI next year. "Next year" that sounds promising. I am happy with the results.

Yesterday I also saw the Thorasic registrar, (as my main consultant has left RBH and has gone to another hospital, I will miss her. I would have liked to thanked her) ancas are both negative, which is good. I have also had my steroids reduced again, now 10mg. I am also no longer on Asathyapran (immune suppressant) Great, less tablets. But then to my Renal appointment. Protein still not getting any better. Added a new medication plus keeping prindaprill, I am on 10mg morning and 10mg night. Mum knows what it is but she has already gone to bed.

Sleep in day tomorrow. Go home Friday and have a learner lesson to help me prepare for my driving license test on Monday. Plus the weekend to practise. I am starting to get nervous now.

Maybe when I get home Friday I will get a present for my birthday!! So far nothing. Oh well!

Busy Busy Busy

Since I last posted things have been going OK. Except last Monday, I ended up with a headache and came home from work and went to bed. By late the next day I was fine. The weather here has been cold so I am thinking maybe it is because the plate in my head get cold and that starts it. I really don't know.

I had a great weekend though. This weekend has been OK so far. I only have just over a week to got until my drivers test. I can't wait. But I am having my birthday in hospital having that angiogram. How lame is that! We have tickets to fly home on Friday, so I am sure hopeing that everything is OK and we do. I will be really pPPPP off if this doesn't happen. I have been waiting forever for this day. My freedom.

Off to Brisbane on Tuesday, fingers crossed they don't find anything.

Looks like I am off to Brisbane again

But not until 17th. My normal consultants appointments. Thorasic and Renal. Mum was contacted today by the Radiologist from Royal Brisbane Hospital, I am booked in to have this angiogram on the 18th. Yep, my 17th birthday. I just hope nothing goes wrong as I want to be back home before 23rd. That is Drivers License test day. So I should be coming back home on Thursday 19th. I feel well so I hope everything is OK. But nothing is going to stop me from taking the test. NOTHING.

Where do I begin?

Last weekend we had my brothers 18th at our place. I had been looking forward to it for ages. You wouldn't believe it. Woke up Saturday morning. Headache. Took a nurofen , which I don't think I am allowed, but went back to bed and slept till lunch. Headache gone. Was the best party. Heaps of people seems there were randoms everywhere. But no problems. We had a DJ and a strobe light that Had and I bought on ebay. Total success. Danced the night away and a few drinks and heaps of fun. Everyone left after midnight to head off to town to the clubs. But me and a couple of mates stayed home and later picked Had up in town after the clubs were shut. Clean up was a pain. I have posted a photo of me and my family. I am the little fellow in the blue suit. LOL



The cake was great. A pair of tits!! LOL Had to be different.



Other than that I just seem so busy. By the time I go to work come home talk on the internet and phone get some sleep. Then it is time to go to work again. Tomorrow is Friday and hopefully it is looking like another busy weekend.

Getting closer to my drivers licence test. 17 days. That must mean two weeks till my birthday. hint hint

Back to being normal for awhile

I enjoyed the rest of my weekend after getting home late on Saturday. The rainy weather had made all the flights late. On Sunday I didn't do much, just helped my Dad and brother a bit getting organized for his 18th birthday party next Saturday. I am looking forward to it, going to be cold though. I hope it fines up as it has been raining here on and off for days.

I went back to work on Monday. Been working overtime as it is really busy at the moment. I need the money as well. Counting down until I go for my drivers licence. Three weeks and 5 days to go. I can't wait. I need to do some more practice on reverse parking, but I think everything else is OK. I have also decided that I will use my own car for the test as it is mostly all I have been driving for the last 5 months.
