Hip Update, so much has gone on!! #stressed #frustrated

So, last time I updated on my right hip, I'd had a steroid injection which worked, then wore off. I always saw this as a Diagnostic injection, to pin point why it was hurting so bad, not as a curative. So when it wore off, as sad as I was, I was chuffed it had worked a bit and identified where the issue was.

For months I had to wait for another appointment. To finally tell McBryde what had happened, and ask how my Mri had gone. But that's not what happened!! I saw another registrar, who dismissed the idea of a scope, told me to lose weight (I can't even tell you how peeved this made me) I'm struggling to exercise from pain, and its frustrating I can't do the things I want to do. So for him to haphazardly throw my weight into it, really really upset me. And also dismissed my pain as something I could just ignore, or get over.
Anyways he said to leave a hip replacement for a few years, and instead carry on with steroid injections (hello this puts weight on!!) And just suffer along for more years. Oh HELL no. I've not come this far, to give up on painfree living.

Following this huge disappointment at ROH, I actively sort out 0'Hara, he knows me, he's done all my surgeries and I needed Clarity, and most of all Advice. I mean if he told me the same as the last registrar I would have to admit defeat. But I couldn't just take this one registrars word as he was saying the opposite to two prior registrars, my physiotherapist (who signed me off, until I'm surgically fixed) and O'Hara from before. So beause it was wildly different in viewpoint I needed to re speak to O'Hara. Which I finally got to do on 10th Nov, I went to The Priory the private hospital, that sees NHS patients. What a stunning place!

The appointment went well, I got a lot of answers, he made a lot of time for us. I felt heard, listened too, and validated in my concerns. He confirmed a scope would be the best course of action, sadly not with him as he doesn't do them. Si back to ROH for that. It that failed, then I would be a good candidate for hip replacement which I could have with him. So not all the news I wanted, as I would like to stick to O'Hara. But I have confidence in McBryde (just not that one registrar). So now its a waiting game, getting booked to have the arthroscopic surgery asap!! Fingers crossed it won't be too long.

Totes updating my unboxing #Glossybox #Sept 2016

Sorry gang, so much has happened over the last few months, so much health issues and family that, I've dropped the ball on here, and hip Physio too. But now I'm attempting to get back into the swing of things. So first off  here is #September Glossybox
This #RedEdition #Glossybox has a #RedMagazine offer. #September #Glossyboxuk has in
#Vitamasques Hydro Face Mask, meant to give 120 hours of hydration and moisturizing for your skin. Inspired by #Korean sheet masks. Now I've used #KoreanMasks from #memebox  so I will compare them. Rrp £7.99 available at vitamasques.com
#Rodial Smokey Eye Pen I love this, its an intense black, easy to use. Good to smudge and blend in. Not sure I could do defined lines,but that's more user error. Rrp £17 available at rodial.co.uk
#TheOrganicPharmacy Antioxidant Lip Balm
This is so soft and nourishing I need to re-buy this product. It has Shea butter, rosehip and pomegranate and vitamin e to protect and restore lips. Rrp £12 available at the organic pharmacy.com
#TooFaced Better Than Sex Mascara. Pet hate, I can't stand the name, its so childish!! Got to admit the name alone puts me off the brand, its just so stupid. But blind test the mascara is pretty good, brush though bit too fluffy for my liking. Pricey for a basic mascara Rrp £19 available at debenhams.com

Now my card in my box next says there's a #CatriceCosmetics Volumising Lip Booster. But I don't, not sure why?? Instead I have #Revlon Gel Envy Diamond Top Coat. Its really good, I'm glad I have it, and it will be used a lot. But I have no info on it. Also in the box was a sample of #TheBodyShop #HimalayanCharcoal Glow Mask so this will be interesting to try out #fbloggers #bbloggers #subscriptionbox #beauty #asosinsider

August Glossybox #August #Glossybox #Beauty

Totally forgot to do #August #Glossybox and its one of my Favourites. August was a busy month, with September being even busier, so finally in #October I get to say my thoughts on it. It had inside #RaeFeather mini monogram pochette which rrp £20 you can buy from raefeather.com I love this bag, I put all my essentials for my handbag in it. Snazzy way to keep my mascara, powders and lippy together. But would I buy it at £20 I don't think I would.
#MUA Eye-shadow Palette this rrp is £4 and you can buy at muastore.co.uk I already completely love this brand of make-up and I own many palettes from them already. This one is #HallOfFame and gives a good variety of neutral and some dramatic darks. This is definitely something I would buy again and again.
#Mudmasky Detox Purifying Recovery Mask that rrp £53 and you can buy at mudmasky.com this mask purifies as well as tightens, hydrate and smooths skin, and it felt gorgeous on, smells divine. But at that price its out of my league for sure!!
#SpaToYou Deep Pore Cleansing Brush which rrp £6.99 and you can buy at spatoyou.com Soft bristle brush to deeply cleanse the skin which massages the skin to encourage new circulation and radiance. Its a bit scratchy if I'm honest, so I couldn't use it daily. But certainly once a week, its a good way to really clean your skin and have a pamper session. I'd buy this again.
#Cowshed Wild Cow Invigorating Body Lotion which rrp £20 you can buy at cowshedonline.com this has to be my favourite ever product. It smells so Herby and natural, I use this on my face to wake me up, before I put make up on. Its gentle, soothing and just divine. This would be a repeat purchase, I really hope I get some for Christmas.

#VFest #Chelmsford 2016

Some days I pinch myself, as I feel so lucky. This happened purely from misfortune of my sisters in law, so I feel bad that they couldn't go. But super stoked we were given the opportunity to go.

This festival is not my usual place to go to, purely because its expensive (to me) and being challenged in the walking department, I also felt a bit terrified to be in such a big crowd.
But all my fears were unfounded. It ended up being an awesome experience, and though it was challenging to walk on all that rubbish!! It was still ace and I'd do it again.

I was so impressed with the toilets and the layout, the staff, and artists. That I had an incredible time. We managed to dance in the Dance Tent, saw Little Mix, Loved Katy B and ended with Rihanna. I was High on Life, and loving every second of it. Only downside was that it was soooooo far away, so going home was awful for hubby. We set off at 11.30pm and stopped at 1am at a service station for a few hours, then set off at 3am and finally got home at 5.30am.

It was sooooo sunny and thankfully the grass was dry (did not expect that, I was prepared for a total mudfest)

This was definitely an experience I would do again, and though I don't get out much, the crowds weren't too bad, and I saw lots of walking sticks and crutches, so I never felt odd one out. All in all impressed and still loving it a week later!
