As this is my first journal entry i'll highlight the last fortnight. Me and paul are trying (unsuccessfully) to get a house together, my home has been highlighted for demolition by the council due to problems escalating in the neighbourhood. paul doesn't live with me yet as we want our first home together to be one we both want to live in. so this fortnight started with the usual phone calls trying to find out if houses we had applied for had been successful. they weren't. on tuesday the usual amount of hoodlums were hanging round the street causing trouble and as usual i got extremely anxious as they were right outside my house. then it happened, i collapsed. after a few minutes i got up and sat on the sofa to recover rubbing my arm. probably just another bruise i assured myself. the week went by reasonably uneventful, the usual mild cataplectic attacks. and typical falling asleep at inconveniant moments. my arm was still hurting so i went to the chemist who advised ibuleve gel for the pain. by the following thursday my arm wasn't getting any better, and paul wasn't letting up on the "go to the hospital!" so i did. turns out i'd broke my elbow! oops. gotta go back on friday and see how its doing. we've applied for another house this week, part of me wants to say i hope i get it, but building my hopes up doesn't help. went to the g.p this morning, discussed how things have been, especially my not sleeping at night. for the second time she's given me amitriptyline to help me sleep and has promised me they're not addictive and won't make me groggy in a morning. so i'll give them a try.
