The way to heaven is on horseback

Hey everyone!  Today didn't go as planned but I made to turn it around towards the end of the day. This morning I should have gone to the stables to help muck out and do things like this! However at 6:30 this morning I asked my mum to text Fiona because I had got really bad stomach aches, when I stood up I felt dizzy, I was too hot and feeling sick. So my mum told me to go back to sleep and hopefully I'd sleep it off, but when I woke up again I still felt awful. I don't know whether it's a bug or I did to much in my garden yesterday.  So i spent most of the afternoon taking it easy, my dad had to have a diabetic eye check up at the hospital that he has once or twice a year. So I went to keep my mum company while we waited for my dad to come out. When we got in I started looking up recipes for how to make a marble cake. All the ones that I could find online where Chocolate and Vanilla, I'm not to big a vanilla fan so instead I looked at to recipes that my mu...

On Sunday in the Early hours of the morning my nan took another fall, while she was trying to go to the toilet, (she has an en suite so it wasn't a long way for her to walk but she went all dizzy and then fell), and as she has a small compact bathroom she hit her head on the side of the bath. Today we had the Doctor out to see her and he was worried with the fact that her blood pressure drops so low when she stands up and when following the doctors finger when looking to the right her eye was jerking side ways but not to the left. So he said he wanted her to go in to a Day case unit and have a whole load of tests including a brain scan, blood tests and chest x-rays. He wrote a cover note/letter and my Uncle took my nan to the doctors. While she was there she had an ECG, blood tests and chest x-rays but no brain scan which was the most important one that she needed. They then told her that her blood pressure was fine but it was her heart that they were worried about. She never had ...

Hey Guys as I promised an update :)  I'm still missing Gatsby like mad hate not being able to ride and hate not knowing where he is! Hoping my dad will be able to find out where he is some time soon! Well who else has been watching the olympics? It was dressage today that will be continued tomorrow morning, not everyone in my family is a huge riding fan like me, my nan who used to breed horses didn't even watch it! But my dad let me watch two hours of it here and there, and I loved it saw some gorgeous horses. Tomorrow the days kicking off with Zara Philips that will be a must see I think, as she isn't riding the famous Toy Town does anyone know who it is now?  How are all your countries doing? It's more dressage tomorrow followed by cross country in the afternoon I do believer though it could possible be show jumping Well today it's going to seem like I've done a lot but I have had a good day, even though I am aching a lot, it has been good. So this mo...

Hey, So todays my second day of my blog and at the moment theres nothing that interesting to say, why? Because nothing much has happened. But here goes... Setting goals is something I always have to do, to keep motivated otherwise I start thinking well what was the point in doing that? And being a person that's got a long term illness I have to keep motivated, so todays goal was art, and design a new logo for my mums business. So far the logo's come on really well and we have thought of a few possibilities so far 10! My favourite is shown above the colour scheme is chocolate brown, lime green and Pink (the brighter the better I say!), how about you let me know what you think? Another goal that I have been working on is losing weight as my riding school has a limit of 13 and 1/2 stone, which was great to start with but because of the tablets I am on my weight has gone up! Well thats about to change, over the past two months I have lost 1and a1/2 stone nearly 2 stone and ...
