I know it’s been such a long time since I last blogged. I’m sure everyone has been wondering what’s been going on. In all honesty Ive not felt ready to open up about everything that’s been going on.

Incase you wondered I’m still living in Manchester with Adam my Crazy dog & the cats!

Many of you started following my journey either for my RA blogs or football blogs and well football wasn’t at the forefront of my attention last season but I’ll be blogging next seasons adventure with ETH at the helm who’s excited, so in answer yes I did renew after some deep thoughts! So look forward to August blogs!

Now the elephant in the blog and why I’ve been missing in the blog atmosphere! Rheumatoid arthritis the reason I started my blog to share my journey with rheumatoid as a then 23 year old. From diagnosis to then journey of going into a wheelchair & the adventures who remembered me trying to get in my bathroom with that lip on the door! It was entangled with the loss of my mum & later my nan too. Sadly since we lost “spoke” I lost my biological dad earlier this year. I’ve started some counselling too because of what I’m about to say!

After things eased and I was able to head to Salford Royal and meet a rheumatologist who ordered a lot of tests and I found out after 14 years I don’t have rheumatoid .. god that’s still weird to type!

So I hear you ask what’s been going on? I have been to see a lot of specialists & tests and honestly we believe it’s a neurological issue but I’m still having tests it’s a journey!

I’ve also got a new audiology doctor who’s great who’s doing tests too!

As you may have guessed I’ve had a lot of tests. I’m rebuilding trust with my teams and even had an MRI scan in an open scanner not gonna lie it was exciting as I couldn’t manage the enclosed ones!

So where does this leave my blog? Well as you know 3 years ago I rebranded it to simply Vicky and I’m going to take you along on this new journey, the medical side, getting to know Manchester as a resident as I never really got a chance, football blogs come august but the biggest one is learning who Vicky is after everything I’m having counselling to help me deal with everything that’s gone on & moving forward.

What I’m super excited to bring you along on with is travelling again as I’ve missed it!

So Im going to try and commit to blogging weekly and hoping to for fill Blogmas this year!

See you soon
