My Weekend Activities and Rambles

What I've Been Up To This Weekend

Hi everyone!

So I just wanted to have a little ramble with whoever reads this blog (and a huge thank you to those that do read what I write!) it's rather late in the night/early in the morning as I'm writing this.
My breathing issues have caused me to have some okay days and not so good days. On the not so good days, it really does make things difficult for me. It causes me to feel really breathless, really exhausted, incites the pain and leaves me to have headaches that feel like I'm being suffocated. When it gets bad like this, it makes me unable to do much and causes my anxiety to rise more. However, I'm doing what I can by taking my Ventolin more often, have my pain relief and basically just rest up in bed.
I have been having my usual back and chest pain, more so in my back in the last few days and it feels like someone is sitting on the curved part. My dodgy hip has been playing up too which has made things even more fun for me! My body really is greedy!
Now I'm going to be more positive now, because I'm sure you'll be fed up of reading about my health issues just like I am for enduring them on a chronic basis. Just a few days ago, I finished writing my stories which I'm going to do my hardest to get published. It has been one of my lifelong dreams/ambitions to have my own books and to see my own words printed. I started off by writing one story but typically me being me, I began visioning things from the male's perspective and I just knew that I had to write about the main male character in his own book. The two books are intertwined so you get the two main characters' perspectives. It has been so much fun to write about their story. Both characters are from different worlds as in she's a disabled woman who's living her life like she is and he is a top league footballer. They meet. A friendship forms between the pair and you can follow their journey. I'm already thinking about writing sequels and I really do care about the characters.
At the moment, I'm proof-reading both books and editing them wherever they need it. I'm also trying to come up with the names of the books (if you have any suggestions, please let me know!) and also chapter titles as some are currently untitled. My wonderful friend has been helping with designing the front cover which has been amusing! I'm so thankful for her help though.
Today my sister and my niece, Ciara (who's six years old) came to visit us. I was excited to see them both and it cheered me up. Then I watched Barrow AFC on iFollow. I thought they played well especially more so in the first half. I am remaining hopeful that we will start to see some positive outcomes in the last so many games. I can't wait for the next home game and seeing all the familiar faces as well.
I didn't get to watch the England game as I don't have Sky sports but they won. I really love the squad. It also gives me the chance to see/hear about the player that I like without feeling like a traitor to my own club (I don't mean Barrow, I mean the premiership) h ha! I must admit, I really don't like seeing negativity or vile comments to players, because it isn't nice and I always believe that we should be kind to each other. We all have feelings, no matter who we are.
Tomorrow/today, I'm supposed to be going to the local Manjushry centre for a little drive out and to enjoy the sunny weather. I do love going to this place, I might vlog bits of my time there but I don't know yet. That reminds me, I need to have a look at what I want to wear and I'll have a browse before I go to sleep.
I hope everyone has a nice day and take care of yourself. Please stay safe and have fun! See ya in my next post,
DinkyKt xx

Hi everyone! As many of you who follow us over on our Facebook page Dinkykts EDS Diaries, you will be aware that we are coming up to 10 years since we began, back in February 2013. So slowly, we are looking back on the positives of our campaign work. I believe in celebrating these milestones and why not?!! While the odd bit of Dinkykts EDS Diaries has received bits of help from various individuals, the majority has been done by myself (Katie) so anything that has been done is incredible. I know that we haven't done huge things, what we have done is wonderful and I am proud. Looking back, we never did manage to organise a family fun-day and that was one of the reasons why we began this campaign but due to the nature of having a rare disease like Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, you just never know what life throws at you. Perhaps in the near future, we can actually organise a family fun-day? Hopefully this time, I won't end up in hospital (twice) haha! I have always wanted to go out in the community, whether it's going into schools, colleges, medical panels or having a stall where I meet random members of the public and raise awareness, and hopefully fundraise at the same time. I did get a taster of going into classes at college when I attended my local sixth form college and I really enjoyed it. We will be showcasing whatever we do on our YouTube channel as that's our main focus of awareness work. We also have the whole month of May to do lots of things as that's EDS Awareness Month and we want your ideas/suggestions! So definitely more highlights to come in 2023 and beyond!! Love DinkyKt
