Hi Maddison,
Great to meet you! Gerry tipped us off about your blog yesterday, so I had a read and commented on one of the blog posts. I've been feeling really down lately and have been in a bit of pain, so it was really helpful for me to read what you had to say yesterday. I especially liked the 'tablets' post. Some days can get pretty frustrating with all the things we have to deal with, but in the end there is not a lot we can do, and fighting it mostly makes me feel worse. So next time I feel down I will, like you, take my tablets and remind myself that even thought I hurt, they are saving my life.
I hope your hip is healing up well, that's a difficult thing to go through at such a young age, I'm sure you're sick of hearing people say that though.
Cheers,
Pin.
