So it's pretty much been 2 months since I last posted an update.. sorry about that (again).
Not much has changed health wise, really. I have felt quite well the past few weeks, and the weather has been lovely too so I've been out enjoying the sun with my family and friends!
At the end of April, me and my parents took a last minute trip to Orlando, florida! We went to watch the cheerleading world championships in disney world, It is my dream to compete in the competition one day.
So we spent 2 weeks in Orlando, a few days were spent at the competition, and the rest of the days were spent by the pool and of course exploring the parks! Last time I visited florida I was around 10 years old so I wasn't tall enough for all of the rollercoasters. I sure made up for it this time!
We all had an amazing time meeting up with friends from around the world, we didn't want to leave!
One of my best friends Paige came up from London a few weeks back. She was here for a week so we had quite a few days of fun! We visited the Sea-Life centre, the Sandcastle waterpark, Blackpool Pleasure beach and more! We also had to travel up to newcastle as I had a cheerleading competition. Unfortunately I couldn't compete again due to injuring my ankle. It was a really lovely week, and I can't wait to see my 'twin' again in a couple of months!
Anyway, getting to the health side of things. So as I said earlier I've been pretty well. I've had a few chest infections as usual, but thats been fixed with a few courses of oral antibiotics.
At the moment i am just recovering from having surgery. I have finally had Portacath number FOUR fitted, So far so good. I have to get it flushed next Tuesday just to make sure things are working and to put some more heparin in the tube to stop it from blocking up. I'd prefer not to have it flushed yet as it is still quite sore, but obviously these things need to be done.
