Fat tooth.

Yesterday I got the prep for my crown (on my tooth). At the moment I have to wear a temporary one until the proper crown is made. The dentist made it straight in line with my other tooth so it's built up on the front to get up to that line. Unfortunately it feels annoying (because of the fatness) but hopefully I'll get used to it. Maybe the real one will feel different. Maybe I shouldn't have gone for the straight option, it doesn't look that different anyway.

How do I change fonts...

I'm not impressed that I cant figure out how to change the choice of fonts on here. Sorry but doing graphic design makes you pedantic about things like that. It was funny today on the way in to town (to collect my visual diaries from Natcoll and see about doing the internship at Creative Bite) there was a car in front of us and its number plate was Myriad and I was like Myriad! And because Steve was confused I had to mention that it was a Font. Lol. Its a sans serif, I use it quite a bit just for random stuff like eg: writing a paragraph like this (if I could actually change the default font. Because using default fonts is a no no.)
Anyway! Before I had the urge to write about the lack of fonts, I was going to say that I had less headaches this week and the few I did have were only 1/10 types. I have to score them on my headache chart from 1-10 (10 being really bad). I went to the physio and had my last acupuncture and massage from her for a while (I'll see how I go) and today I went to the osteopath again, and again got my neck and back clicked but he said it had loosened up a bit since last time. Apparently the back of my skull is pressing down on my two top vertebrae and causing them to push together. He said that after next week I shouldn't need to go back again.
I've still been getting a bit of pain behind my eyes and that could be to do with the vertebrae/muscles thing but it could be eye strain. Steve thinks I might have a lazy eye just because of the fact that I have trouble watching movies on the big screen. I looked it up and apparently lazy eye can cause headaches but it mainly happens in children and they have to wear an eye patch to correct the lazy eye!
Speaking of movies we saw Avatar in 3D the other day. It was really cool but even harder on my eyes with the 3Dness. I have to keep closing them and of course had a headache afterwards as usual.
So maybe I'll see the optician next...

Another Blog

I just started another blog....

Yay for the Osteopath!

As I mentioned in the last post, I've been going to the physio to try to get rid of my headaches. I've had lots of headaches since I can remember but they have just been getting worse and worse and almost everyday. I go to bed with them or wake up with them or both. Sometimes I feel like I don't want to be alive if I'm going to be in pain all the time. So I decided that this year before I find a job I'm going to discover the cause of the headaches and treat it, no matter how much it costs and what I have to do!
Physio and acupuncture doesn't seem to be working the best and I happened to receive a free eco bag in the post from Blackmores (I'd got it off a freebies website)and a letter that said thank you for signing up to the website and here is a link to our online naturopath service. So I contacted the naturopath service about my headaches and they sent me a long email back about why it could be happening and what I could do. It was really helpful and said I should perhaps see another doctor, a naturopath in my area (they can do tests for allergies etc), an osteopath or chiropractor or an optician in case its my eyes. I looked up to see what an osteopath did (as I'd already tried a chiropractor and that didn't help)and decided to try them first.
So today I rang up and got an appointment and went along to the Osteopath. He checked my spine and neck and discovered that some of my vertebrae were locking together and causing my muscles to clench up, especially the ones in the area of my neck where I get the most pain. Then he did the dreaded clicking of the vertebrae back into place, first the ones on my back and then the ones in my neck (which made a HUGE crunch as several had clicked back at once!) and said that was causing a lot of the problems. So I should notice withing the next few days that I'm having no or less headaches. Two more appointments at the most will cure me! Yay!
So I really really hope it does help. I'll give you an update. If not the next stop will be the naturopath.
Until next time...

The first blog of the decade (by me anyway)

Well, I remember from blogging theory class at Natcoll that blogs have to be interesting, well written, contain relevant facts, pictures and links to back up your statements and not overly opinionated. But meh. What will be will be. Its not as if I'm going to be writing a blog on design history or theory this time. In fact I have no idea what I'm going to write. Maybe I can just have interesting tid bits and what I've been up to etc etc.
At the moment I'm starting a blog because I have nothing better to do. I think were going rock climbing after lunch and then I have physio/acupuncture later on so that's what I'll be up to. I haven't had any physio for a few weeks so I cant wait because my neck pain and headaches have been bad lately. But whats new.
I've ordered a Magne-sleep too so I'm looking forward to trying that. I was going to try keeping off the computer for a few days but I cant help myself. I had to check my emails and facebook.

Well, who knows when my next blog will be, so watch out...
