SO MUCH CHANGE

Hello (likely non-existant now) followers!

The theme of this post is change.

The one thing that apparently hasn't changed though is my lack of Blogging on here. Poo. Blogging is such an amazingly useful outlet so I don't know why I'm so bad at regularly updating. **Insert promise about Blogging more frequently now here**

Anyways, if this isn't your first time reading my blog (again, if anyone is even reading this...) you might have noticed that I've made MAJOR changes. I mean, spending 5 hours fiddling with HTML kind of changes. I still have some work to do, but I'm pretty satisfied with how it looks for now!

And as usual... where do you even start when you haven't updated for so long?! Especially when SO much has changed.

Well, for more detail about some of the stuff I'm going to briefly touch on, check out my "External Links" tab.

Because it's both easier to type and to read through, super summarized point form:

~ Starting in about Oct. 2012, I started having major headaches/migraines basically every day, episodes where my legs would stop working almost completely, extreme dizziness with head turning, blah blah blah blah. Tons of other bad stuff, too. I already knew that I have many health problems, but this stuff was new. I went to SO many doctors and specialists who either knew something terribly wrong with me but didn't know what, or implied that it was all in my head. I finally flew to Maryland (out of country and across the continent from where I live in Vancouver, BC, Canada) to see a world-renowned neurosurgeon who specializes in EDS. He instantly found my main problem: Atlantoaxial Instability (AAI), which basically means that my C1-2 are super unstable so when I turn my head, the blood flow to my brain can get cut off and my brain stem is being twisted. He also found that my brain is sitting too low in my skull, my brain stem is kinked, etc, but we're focusing on one thing at a time. 

~ I'm getting surgery (in Maryland) to fuse my C1-2 together with a piece of my hip bone and screws on June 25th, 2013.

~ Because of all these shenanigans, I had to drop out of college in Feb. I was only half a sem away from graduating with my Associate of Arts. Sigh. More on this later.

~ I'm still with Peter, and it's been over a year and a half! He's kinda super awesome. For reals.

~ There's probably 3852854268425426247 more things I should include in this update but I'm pretty tired seeing as it's about 2am, so I'll try to slowly update as I go.

Anyways, I should really at least attempt to get some sleep.

Nighty night!
