My Body just keeps on giving

 Hello Readers


So Last week my kidneys were angry with me for what I don't know, I went to the hospital and was there for 3 days which wasn't the best situation to be in as it had been 6 months since my last rush to hospital with the same conditon. 

Since thursday my body and energy understably have been not normal for me as i have ADHD my energy is between speedy gonzales energiser bunny and buggs bunny. my brain I say is like Shrek and Donkey, My autism side of my brain was happy because i was in the same bed, the same ward and had the same doctor looking after me (Not my kidney specialist i have had for the past 10 years but he is still my Specialist) the only difference from this time to last time was that it was during the work time so i had to take the extra days of work. 

Yesterday I got diagnosed with anemia, which is fun so now I am taking another tablet, which means i will be on at least 6 for the next 4 weeks and i have to do 1 test before i start my Iron tablets. 


Reminder if you are 21 years old and Under please look after your health, you are not above or below anyone. you want your body for a long time and its ok to hate your body that is a stage of life but please respect your body. Make sure you do these things: 

1. Drink water or fluids that you enjoy but stay away from alcohol for as long as you possibly can 

2. Eat Protein can be meatless that makes your tummy happy and exercise so that later when you are an older adult you can still be independent for as long as possible my exercise of choice is weights and also self defence and swimming its a personal preference. 

3. try to have dairy or calcium rich food that makes you body happy and your bones happy. 

4. Explore nature go to the beach touch grass get some sun sensibly use SPF 50+ always 

5. talk to your friends and family not in a gossip way but humans need connection also space to be on their own. 

6. LISTEN TO YOUR HEALTH PROFESSIONALS as much as you can relative to your situation and learn to ADVOCATE for yourself. 

7. Care for something outside of you, whether that be volunteering,getting an animal, looking after an elderly relative everything helps and it helps you see the real world 

8. learning happens outside of the classroom so have fun with it, Academics is not for everyone but if you love cooking learn to cook if you love languages then learn it if you are creative learn a new skill. Learning doesnt stop at 24 it goes life long. 

Wishing you only and always the best 

Stay safe Chooks

Mid week Check in

  Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening everyone  "when life brings you lemons you make lemonade" a bit of a back story my mum passed away two years ago from Terminal stage 4 lung cancer, I watched one of my favourite humans turn into a shell in the end someone so fiercly independent became very dependent she made it 4 years more than expected and I am internally grateful for that but its bittersweet because I wish she never had to go through the pain. Before her diagnosis she loved to exercise and eat healthy and give back to her community.   She also gave me the gift of loving to exercise too because she role modelled what the feeling after exercise was to her. Eating in moderation is healthy, She was an amazing cook, she was someone who was strict but fair she believed that education was universal and the best way to learn was to see the world and be in life and not spend too much time in books but also that books had a place. Being a neurodivergent kid to a woman who wa...

1st of winter June

Hello Everyone  Today is Monday the 1st of June which means its the 1st day of Winter! every year i say I am going to be prepared and it's not going to affect me and every year i end up never prepared and always affected. My brain knows its happening and instead of being normal it goes into hibernation mode😒😭.  Sydney is Sunny today but the temperature 15c and feels 5 degrees love that for me as someone who loves spring and summer, who actually doesn't thrive in winter the next three months will be touch and go.  Winter for me = Kidneys playing havoc, my circulation is not the greatest and in winter it really goes bad i cant just wear gloves i have to also wear the inserts for gloves so my hands stay functional.  Autism does not enjoy winter because its a change to my routine, the cold weather and the germs that spread more in winter because everyone is closer to eachother where in Summer unless you are on a cruise or airplane you are free and encouraged to be outs...

Long weekend REcap

It was a looooooong weekend this weekend just gone which was nice to relax and unwind and not be so busy like I usually am.  The weekend started with a relaxed morning and then in the afternoon I went to my PT with my amazing strength and Conditioning coach to help me with my Low muscle tone and to help with my core. then i helped my Partner do some Uber eats which I am really enjoying because I love to help people.  Sunday we drove 2 hours to Morriset and had a barbeque with Friends and then drove 2 hours back home. we then went to a colombian civic centre in Sydney and played Uno and a colombian board game and then we went to our local bar.  Yesterday we had a well earned REST DAY   we spent most of our day at home and then in the evening we went to the local our local Bar  I hope everyone else had a good weekend and enjoyed themselves and relaxed
