Wow... this girl who was from the same ballet school as me back in msia.. well she was my senior but we had the same teacher. She just found out she got rheumatoid arthritis. Well... the symptoms were pretty similar to my foot swelling in form 2.
One of her hand was like really swollen, just like how one of my foot was really swollen. At least its her hand but not her foot, I couldn't walk! And I was in cheer practice, gosh..
But anyway, she had to go for a blood test and they confirmed her for rheumatoid arthritis. I did have a blood test too but they didn't say I have rheumatoid arthritis, but it was something similar to that.. the calcium deposits at the joints and stuff. Now I'm kinda frustrated there's no name for the condition I had. It's like when I try to describe this injury, I don't know what to call it, cos its also a form of arthritis. There's too many types of arthritis!
So yeah, I'm praying its not rheumatoid arthritis, cos the same spot still burns after a pointe class, it burns like crazy. But I don't wanna go to a physio anymore, the student insurance ppl haven't contacted me back about my previous visit to the podiatrist..means I still paid for my treatment! The insurance ppl are supposed to pay it for me! Eeeesh
Back to the thing about rheumatoid arthritis. Her case seems pretty serious though because she needs to take steroids by injection I think. She sounds more like she's diabetic XD
I know, I'm not meant to make it sound funny but she said she had to inject herseld everyday.. that is so like diabetic ppl.
Well at the moment I'm waiting for an injury to happen to me cos I am dying to do Floor-Barre classes instead of depressing Classical classes. Cos in Floor-Barre classes, you spend the whole time on the floor doing barre exercises instead of standing up, which means its pretty relaxing and much less stressful. My friends say the classes are guud... so yeah, I'm waiting for an injury as an excuse to do Floor-Barre classes =P
Can't wait for Mother's Day, I have lunch with a close family friend's family, lol. I haven't seen them in months.. since January actually. But I have to go all the way to Glen Waverly.. brilliant. I'm gonna bring a bigger bag of mine to carry my stupid monologue script with me and maybe my homework, or maybe study a little.
But I feel bad, cos June's gonna be alone. I'm sure she'll find someone to teman her to go out.. June has many more friends than I will ever have.
