After fighting off that dreadful (and I only say dreadful because it was a lot worse than it had to be) staff infection, my Dr.'s have raised my Celcept (immune supressant) but kept my dosing of steriods the same!!! All because I have like, one drop of blood in my urine.......GRRRR!!!! I am sick of being this hungry, though I must admit, I am proud of myself. I have been able to control my hunger by going to the farm (Southmowing Stables) and working off my hunger. I forget about the knawing feeling in my stomach, and I get exercise, and my dog gets to play w/ other dogs, and I'm happy being back where I loved to be. (Not saying spending months on the couch wasn't comforting but........there's no place like the farm) :)
A group of people are coming over later to estimate the price of my home for tax-something....GREAT!!!!!!! (I mean really?!?!?! I'm in such a good mood that it's so nice out, though cold, and strangers got to come into my house, poking and prodding?!?!?! The house I mean,) So, I am dreading this morning. The house, although it can't always be perfect, is fairly clean. My load of dishes are done and I already finished two weeks worth of math in one night........so I am left to read, write, type and walk my dog....playing fetch in our sand pit is one of our favorite games, we could play it for hours if her little legs and small lungs allowed it!!!! :)
Wishing you all the best of luck, the weekend brings promise!!! Hopefully there will be no strangers looking around your home for the billionth time....but one can always dream, can't they?!?! More to come......
Hi Kayla, Steroids are really rough. Try not to overdo the impulse to do physical actions. Balance as you are, the work and recumbent activities. They give you a false sense of power and you can feel aggressive or in a hurry or forced speech. Take a deep breath. Make sure you rest and just listen to music or something relaxing--even though you don't want to sleep you need to rest your brain. Your brain is young even though you are processing adult stress. Forget about people poking though the house. Taxes are inevitable and worthy of fighting, but don't take on all the fights, you have your own fight. I love your writing and hope you don't mind my comments. Have been on courses of 'roids a few times and they are tough to handle but so necessary. have a great week. Mary Gerdt
