Well I awoke this morning once again struggling to move my legs. It took me about 10 minutes to get myself onto my side so I could actually get out of bed. The pain situation is not getting any better so I'm hoping that my GP has some suggestions when we see him on Wednesday. I really couldn't care less what he decides to do as long as there is some relief from the pain.
On the positive side of things though I managed to be "awake" when I woke up. The last few days of my stay in hospital I found it extremely difficult to get out of bed due to the tiredness. No idea why..... What hasn't changed, unfortunately, is my low mood. Again I have no idea why my mood is so low, but I'm still holding onto the hope that it is just going to take a week or so for the ECT to have its full effect.
Given the difficulties I have been having with uni I wrote an email to my disability contact earlier today. For one thing I asked why on campus students were given the advantage of lectures whilst off campus students were expected to do it all on their own. I have pretty much stated that if this situation was not rectified I would be happy to take my studying elsewhere. That may not sound like much of a threat as they would have hundreds of students (and plenty to take my place I'm sure) but no university can really afford to lose a straight HD student - especially as I made it clear that I would take myself to another university without hesitation.
Now we just have to sit back and wait to see what happens.... I am so tired of fighting for equal rights and equality in general. Why should I be punished for living so far away from the university? Surely every student that undertakes the subject should be given the same advantages????
Meh.
