Reflection #2

It's Been A Rough Week

First I would like to apologise for not having a post up last night, I was slack to put it bluntly. Now I am back and focused, I have had a rough week and it all started last week when I got the Chickenpox.

I don't mind saying I was scared, having Type One Diabetes my first thoughts was my stomach can not be covered in blisters, how will I get my insulin if my stomach is covered in blisters? Now I do realise that when you have chickenpox you will get blisters just about anywhere and everywhere. Having said all of this I feel lucky because my head, chest and back copped the full brunt of the chickenpox, I did get a couple of spots on my arms and legs but that was it.

I honestly feel that I have amazing willpower because I hardly scratched, I do admit I had one rough night where I was extremely itchy but I got through it. I am actually kind of glad I got the chickenpox now so that I shouldn't get it later on in life.

I have to give major credit to my Mum, through out this whole period she has been my rock. My Mum has helped me greatly, running baths for me and applying the solosite gel to my body, bringing me breakfast in bed. My Mum is the best I could ever ask for, she is not just my Mum she is my best friend. I need to make sure my Mum is spoilt rotten when her Birthday comes up.

Today was my first day back at work, I find it a little funny going back to work on a Friday but it's good in a way because I now have the weekend to recharge the batteries and prepare for the week ahead. I expect next week to be full on as I haven't worked a full week in nearly two weeks, however I will get it through it like I always do. I try to be an optimistic person, it can be exhausting though.

I can only hope after recovering from chickenpox that I am at the end of all sickness for this year. I have been very sick this Winter and I am over it, my goal for the remainder of 2016 is to be healthy and I am not just talking being physically healthy but also eating healthy. It is time for me to gain control of my life again, sure I get by just fine but I do feel like I could pull my head in a little when it comes to being healthy.

I honestly feel like things can only get better for me, I have been through so much in the last couple of months and I hope I am at the end of it.

Tell me about your week, how have you been? Leave me a comment down below, I hope you all have a great weekend and check out the Facebook Page Type One Diabetes & Life.

Until next time
