Health update.
I know I keep vanishing and then coming back randomly but trust me it's not because I don't want to be here, it's because of everything I have going on right now. Finding the time or energy is really fucking hard right now. I do lurk in the back ground and I am still working on finishing the pic spams...but again...I have so much going on now that it's unreal.
I work two jobs. Me and my partner bought our first home a year ago. We are a couple months closer to move in but its just been such a long and stressful journey to get this far. I'm working two jobs so we can afford to do the things we want now in terms of fixing it up so we don't have to ever do it again. I am a high school teacher during the week and a worker in an Autisic Centre of the weekends and school holidays.
As some of you may know, 8 years ago I suddenly was unable to walk properly due to pain in my hips. After xrays, they found I have Dysplasia in both my hips which caused arthritis in both. So I was thrown into the world of being disabled as I couldn't walk properly and I was in so much pain. 2 years later, after many attempts to save both hips, I had total hip replacement of the right hip. 6 months later I had a total hip replacement of the left hip. Recovery was awful. Months later I started suffering with pain in multiple joints. My knees would give way. My ankles would swell. My left sholder was very painful when moving it and would lock quite a bit. Going to the doctors to speak about this would result in me being told that it's just pain from the hips travelling down to my joints and up my back.
So I carried on. I had to. I didn't have another choice. Couple of months later, couple of ER/A&E trips, I got sent to a rheumatology consultant. He did a blood draw and said that I had no sign of an autoimmune problem so it must be Fybromyalgia. Now. I do believe I have Fybromyalgia. I have the emotional trauma from growing up with an abusive, alcoholic & gambling addict dad. Developed eating disorder from the age of 18...and I've had the physical trauma of the back to back surgery's. So it's fits. All the symptoms fit.
However, with my family's history of arthritis at very young ages (my mum needed them at 20, my auntie needed them at 23, my nan needed them in her 20s and I needed them at 21). Most of those woman have arthritis in a lot of other joints to. So I needed to push for further investigation.
My left hip replacement hasn't felt good at all since it was done. It is that bad that I actively call it my "bad hip". And tell people we don't celebrate that hips birthday. The pain has gotten much much MUCH worse. If I stand for more than 30 seconds on that hip, I get stuck. I can be taken out of action for days if I do too much activity because of the pain. I take 80mg of slow release morphine every day and other pain killers. That doesn't help much at all.
So, I asked my rheumatologist to please xray the hip replacements and please xray my sholder as it was getting worse. Its hard when you get a diagnosis of fibromyalgia because doctors like to see that and not look any further then you are complaining of joint pain. It's very hard.
I got the xrays.
Sholder: he rang me with the results. His statement was that I have Dysplasia in my sholder. The joints don't fit properly which is what is causing the pain. He also stated that this hasn't changed since the last xray I had done when it was originally flagged....excuse me? I was so confused. Eventually I remembered that during my second hip replacement, the hospital suspected a post op blood clot in my lungs, so they did a chest xray. When this xray was done, there was a red flag on it that said I had Dysplasia of the sholder. That was 5 years ago. No one said a word to me. It wasn't in my notes. When I say I was so angry, I was soooooo angry. But at least I had an answer other than "oh you have fibro, that's what's causing the pain." Since then, no one has been in touch about a treatment plan etc. That will be my next issue to fight for I guess.
The Hip: the replacements looked fine. They were not loose. Which is brilliant! However, I had extreme pain from it. So I was referred to a hip specialist. This guy was the guy who did all of mu family hip replacements so it was nice to be under him if there was a problem with my replacement. I went to see him 2 weeks ago. He sent me for a CT on my pelvis. He agreed that there was no issue with the hip other than nerve pain which isn't really worth opening back up again due to the risk of infection and the fact that I will need new hips in 10 years anyway. So, Great. Nothing wrong with the hips. I'll just have to get on with the nerve pain. He told me he had bad news though. He pulled up my CT scan and showed me that I had arthritis in sacratic joint on the left side. That is what is causing me the intense pain. That is what is causing me to get stuck in certain positions. All he can offer me for that first is injections into the joint and physical therapy. He told me that it's going to be a long journey with a lot of work.
When I say I sobbed. I sobbed. Another fucking thing that is wrong with my body. I feel like I am just broken. I find it hard to put into words how all this makes me feel but tbh nothing was as bad as it was when I got a letter through the door from the same doctor.
He mentioned everything he said in the appointment about the joint issue on the left side. But he also had taken another look at my scans and he said there is degenerative changes in my lumbar spine. Arthritis in the bottom half of my spine. What do I do with that? I was in work when I read that and honestly I did my best to keep it together but I couldn't do it. I just cried my eyes out. I think reading his words, "Elisha knows that this is something she will have to deal with for many years and it is not going to go away." I am honestly broken. I don't know why this is happening. I don't get how I've gone from where I was before I turned 21, perfectly healthy other than the eating disorder, to being 30 with arthritis in the bottom half of my spine, arthritis in my joint that connects the pelvis to the spine, 2 hip replacements & a Dysplastic sholder. I honestly feel like I should ask for a whole body scan just to get it out of the way. Just find out everything.
What also has freaked me out is that he said I have myelitis in my spine. If you do your research you will understand why this has freaked me the fucked out.
I do my best to keep it together because I know there are people with a much worse medical history but I am just broken. I am always in pain. But I'm trying to keep going. I worked to hard to give up and become bed bound, but I know there will come a time when this won't be something I can stop.
I had to get this off my chest as I am sure my partner is sick of hearing it as he's living with it daily while being with me. And I know it upsets my mum, she feels guilty for some reason.
But yeah, that's the update. This is why I go missing but school holidays is when I can come back more often

Wednesday September 13, 2023
A 100% rain day - we knew it had to happen and we were ready for it. We had another leisurely morning, which was good for some as they stayed in the bar quite late I heard. Also, the other three “spouses” are positive and sick with COVID, so that makes everyone other than MaryNelle and Sue, who have been diligent about mask wearing, and M&M, and Peter and Fionan.
We left the hotel at 11am for a noon boat ride to see the Cliffs of Moher from the sea. It was drizzly / rainy, but since we’ve got 10 days of hiking in the UK coming up, we were well prepared with our GoreTex jackets and rain pants, umbrellas and my secret weapon: XtraTuf boots!
Along the drive, Peter played more M&M musical selections and also talked more about “session” music that occurs in pubs across Ireland. People show up with a musical instrument and hope to get noticed and invited to play for a song or two. We saw examples of that with the music groups we’ve seen this far. It’s really cool to see how tempo/key changes are signaled by the leader and I notice M&M doing that sometimes.
I’d never thought about it, but Peter said that SONGS have words - TUNES are just music. He told us about Jigs - three count and the Reel - which is 4/4 rhythm. It was raining harder when we arrived at the boat dock and we had 20 minutes to spare on the bus. Peter taught us a “lilt,” where we sang an Irish tale (a digression) and the different sides of the bus sand the “dideley-do” refrains. Fits right in with my making the best of a rainy day philosophy!
The boat ride to view the Cliffs of Moher from the water was amazing. It didn’t rain hard, and about six of us enjoyed the view from the top deck with another six hearty older Germans. Despite the weather, the sea was very calm.
Back in the van, we had a short drive to a stop at Saint Brigid’s Well. According to Peter, Brigid was the Pagan goddess of fertility; unique to Ireland and not an actual Saint. At the time of the revolution she was changed from fertility to chastity. Clearly, it is a much visited site where people leave tributes to their loved ones.
We drove back to Lahinch for a couple of hours to explore. We joined Sue and Wayne for Fish & Chips at Spooney’s, then we window shopped while they went off to find whiskey. We walked down to the beach, and the waves were huge - tide was in too I guess as the water came right up to the rocks, none of the massive sandy beach we were on last night was showing!
Back to the hotel for R&R and the last night group dinner. Before dinner, Peter invited us to the conference room to view samples of his “Crankie Island” project with Cathy Jordon. It’s hard to explain, but Peter obtained this 1930’s cinema box where an illustrated scroll is cracked through the device, which uses mirrors to project the show. They started this project during COVID lockdown, with Peter doing the illustrations and Cathy is providing the music. Their plan is to have a traditional song illustrated from each county in Ireland. They have a website in progress - www.crankieisland.com and their completed projects are best viewed on YouTube.
We had our last group dinner in a private room off the breakfast room. Jeff, Bill and I sat with Kort and Fionan - a relief of have a real conversation with people we could connect with. Kort told us more about meeting James and their decision to work as a duo and the ups and downs that go with that. We also got to talk about their business model and how it works for them to lead the lifestyle they want - even though there are sacrifices too (mainly time away from their families).
Our table, Wayne and Sue, and Judee went into town for a couple of whiskies at Eugene’s. We stayed about 90 minutes and had such a fun time! He added our business cards to the collection he had stapled to his ceiling. Fun night and end to the trip.
Thursday morning Fionan drove about the last 10 of us to the Shannon airport. The others had early morning flights and had already left by taxi. We arrived at 10am, 4 hours before we could even check into our flight for Heathrow and on to Edinburgh Scotland. Found a comfortable place to pass the time playing cribbage and catching up on email.

Internship Blog Post 10
As I’ve returned back to the states, I got straight back into work on the RICHES project and was able to attend my first Oral History. Of course I wasn’t conducting the interview, but sat through the session and took some notes of what the interviewee said and how my professor conducted the interview. We interviewed Rev. Spooney from the Mount Zion Missionary Baptist Church in Parramore. The questions focused on his life growing up in Parramore and helping us understand how Parramore changed through decades. We learned how schools managed to integrate racially, the relationship of the City with community members, and especially his ideas in how Parramore may be uplifted to fully support the black community that historically have been there for generations.
It was enriching to connect the interview in a personal matter as Rev. Spooney mentioned my grandmother and noticed that we might have been related. It seemed after that he went further into the interference of the City, whether it be good or bad. At the end of the interview we were able to catch up in talking about our families and where they are now. Then we were also shown newsletters and a painting of one of the original structures of the church during the 1890s.
Overall it was a beautiful experience and really emphasizes how much I want pursue history as a career. Being able to hear people’s stories and connect those memories in sources and archives has proved to be one of the rewarding things for me.

Never gonna be over this tbqh
Not redeemed, not entirely humbled, but in the end, he returns to Tana
Practically needs to be carried, but he does it
Milano conspicuously turning away because he doesn’t need to start crying tonight
Tana pulling down his mask, broken-out teeth on display, saying “Thank you, Jay” in his accented english
Gedo, subtly shaking his head in disbelief as they walk away
The last nod of acknowledgement
Jay looking back at him until turning the corner forces him to turn away
Wrestling ;____;

ft gojo, nanami, father n son fushiguro, sukuna, geto, & itadori
satoru gojo
i just KNOW hes on some shit in the morning
what wakes you up? him jumping on the bed
you’re groaning and rolling over to escape him before he’s on you in a flurry, smothering you with kisses
however, given your rude awakening, you’re grumpy asf and pushing him off
he’ll put himself in time out by rolling to the opposite side of the bed, but he does have an ulterior motive
he knows you get cold af
so soon you’re grasping for him and he’s getting all mocking until you cave and snuggle up to him n wrap your arms around him
he secretly loves being little spoon ;)
yuuji itadori
👁👁he’s watching bbgurl sleep
what wakes you up? nothing! you wake up naturally bc baby boy doesn’t dare disturb you😤😤
you open ur eyes to see him just like 😫😭 lookin at u w the simp eyes that makes ur heart skip a beat
when he sees that youre up, he gives you the sweetest smile everrrr and pulls you into his chest n just holds you bc he loves the feeling of u in his arms (*crying*)
then he’ll want more so eventually all his limbs are wrapped around you in the biggest bear hug ugh
megumi fushiguro
you’re always up first so u watch pretty boy sleep
my personal belief is that ‘gumi is that bitch that can sleep thru an a-bomb
v similar to yuji butttt reversed!
when he finally wakes up he sees u watchin’ BUT he gets all flustered n his cheeks turn pink
you’re laughing at him now bc it’s just sooo cute and he gets annoyed so he starts tickling you
this mf!
and you’re aching from laughing so hard bc he has you trapped in his arms (like arms wrapped around your waist and tickling so that you can’t escape MMM)
and finally he relents and lets you turn your back to him so that y’all can do a little spooney action
and hes smilin into ur hair thinking about ur laughs from earlier :’)
ryomen sukuna
what wakes you up? this mf biting you or some shit
“get up bitch n make me some breakfast will ya”
🧎🏻♀️🧎🏻♀️🧎🏻♀️
kento nanami
mornings are pretty flexible for our fav white collar worker
depending on how tired you are, you may or may not wake up with his alarm
if you do, he’ll wrap his arms around you for a few minutes, pressing soft kisses into your head while he slooowly wakes up (whether he likes it or not, you’ve rubbed off on him)
and when he’s finally ready to face the day, he’ll tuck you back in and tell you to go back to sleep
if you don’t wake up with his alarm, not to worry
he’ll be giving you gm kisses anyway and leaving a note on your nightstand for you to have a wonderful day and that he’ll be home for dinner
he’ll make u breakfast and leave it on the table😭😭
suguru geto
what wakes you up? him givin u kithes<3
your mind’s still foggy when he’s situating you on top of his chest
his heart’s thumpin in his chest and it’s like the most perfect lullaby for u
his hands are slippin under ur shirt so that he can scratch your back and ugh
it’s absolutely heavenly ugh
toji fushiguro
what wakes you up? your alarm
you turn over and
he’s gone😐

When the Stork Flew Over the Moon | Tonky Stork x his son Spooney Moon
requested: HELL YES BY THE THWIP KIDZZZZZ
a/n: is this for shits and giggles or for real
------------------------
All Spooney ever wanted in life was to be noticed by the infamous Tonky Stork. He built up his grades and put in the hard work to be worthy of such attention. He was a professional Stork Stalker™ (that’s what his fans were called). Spooney’s official job was to sell pictures of the illusive man to the press.
He was just so majestic. Spooney Moon walked the halls of his above average high school with the weight of a giant secret on his broad shoulders: he knew the Tonky Stork, but he was sworn to secrecy. He and Tonky were the ultimate crime fighting duo, he even had a picture of the two of them together. Tonky soaring over the city with Spooney in tow:
Spooney shook his head trying to dismiss the images of their epic battles so that he could focus on his studies.
“Hey Spooney!!” His best friend Noodles Lean called from across the hallway. Spooney felt a smile replace his upset frown and turned to face the grinning boy.
“Hey Noodles, what’s up?” Spooney asked. Noodles proceeded to fill him in on how he was building the Life Moon from Sun Peace and Spooney politely nodded along.
When the school day ended Spooney raced out of the oppressive building toward Stork Tower. All he wanted was to fly above the city again, safely tucked into Tonky’s blanket.
He glanced to the sky to find Tonky gliding above him with his arms wide open, “Come to me my son.” Tonky bellowed from his position high above him. Spooney took a running leap off of the side of a school fence and was caught snuggly in the safe, protective arms of his mentor. Home at last.
