001; so, i went to the hospital this morning to pick up my diagnosis. i don't really wanna talk about it much here because i know you lot didn't follow my blog to hear about the ins & outs of my bowel. so if you really wanna know about all the health things then formspring me. but basically i've got something called 'chron's disease'. it means i'll be on medication for the rest of my life. i may need an operation later in life, also. i've got a prescription for countless tablets *15 tablets per day to be correct* & i've been put on steroids because i'm underweight. i might start a weekly blog post counting the amount of chins i grow....or maybe not?! i'm also on iron tablets now for my anemia which is good because with this illness i will have to have regular blood tests. & i'm on stupid diets to put weight back on - focuses on protein & calories. & i have to avoided fibre & fruit :/ whilst chron's isn't curable it's treatable. i've felt a mix of emotions today but i'm gunna try stay strong - some words of encouragement would be nice!

002; i've actually started using my twitter account. i've had it for a while now but thought it'd be a great way to get little bits of information over to my followers & blog friends (: the link to my page is over on the right hand side! please follow me.

003; as you can tell, i've created quite a few new features for 'vivatramp'. the new features in full are; 'h is for happy, quick update, listen & love, needle & thread, friday favourites & please and thank you'. i don't know if i'll be doing each one weekly as that may get too much but just watch this space (:

004; as you can see, i have a new banner. it was made by me in a matter of minutes. i like to see it as a temporary measure until i get my act together and sort it properly. however, it shall do for now!

005; i've crossed off #10 on my 'to do list' as i managed to get work experience for my year out. it seems i'm dealing with these goals quite well - well done me!

i hope you are all well! take care sweets.
