Retiring doctors

TREMENDOUSLY SAD! My doctor at Dartmouth today told me July 1st 2012 she's retiring and I'll be assigned a new doctor! Now, I know I hate doctors in general for all the things they have done/given to me but seriously, I was just starting to warm up to her and get really comfortable telling her things. Things in life for me haven't been going as smoothly as planned or wanted and that's partly why I haven't been writing in this blog for awhile and for that I apologize.
I had two appointments in the month of October, one in the beginning making up for my missed September appointment and my original one today- the total amount of blood they drew this month, 12 viles! YIKES!
My blood work and urine work is looking good, I'm not any worse but I'm not getting as well as fast as my doctor would like....so that's not really good.
My "chipmunk cheeks" from my steriods are reducing down to next to nothing, I am now on 7 milligrams of steriods a day, which is a HUGE improvement to 60. Again.... YIKES!
That's my short update, but in general things are looking up. The end of the horse show season, for showing for me and for looking and watching horse shows, is coming to an end, which is sad, and the leaves are turning colors and the bitter frost is setting in. But it also marks something that I ABSOLUTELY LOVE... my birthday! October 29th I turn 14 which means in one year I'll have my permit! WATCH OUT ROADS! (HEHE)
So I am excited about that and about my birthday bowling party at the local bowling alley. Just a few friends, some bowling lanes, some homemade cake (thanks Mommy) and some good times and (hopefully) presents! Not trying to sound too vain or selfish but who doesn't like presents?!?!?! (I DO THAT'S A FACT!)
So yes, things are looking up in the long run. Last year of homeschooling, I'm in 8th grade now. Next year I'll be in high school.
I'm also in therapy now for depression matters once every two weeks, thanks to some mishaps that happened in the past (rather not speak of them at this very moment)
I hate therapy and therapists but my therapist is nice but what she does makes me mad and angry and sick, even in those terms, they do. I don't quite understand yet why I am subjected to this kind of treatment, I can handle anything with my own mind and I don't need some nosey woman wanting to know every detail about my personal life.....therapy or no therapy.
Well,  I certainly promise to blog more often, that's for sure, I have forgotten how much stress blogging takes off my shoulders.
With love and affection,
