Happy 2012!

Not going tailgating today nor going to the Steelers/Browns game. My husband thinks I am still not well enough. He said it’s gonna be cold, windy, and raining, and he doesn’t want me to get worse.

So, now I get to watch it at home under my comfy down blanket, sipping hot apple cinnamon tea, eating Hawaiian pizza. Not a bad trade off.

I’m still getting over my yearly chest cold – I took my last dose of antibiotics this morning. Here’s to hoping this yuckiness clears up. I took a 4 day vacation from my Gilenya (MS pill) because I needed to fight off this infection, but now I have really blurry vision and a noticeable limp again on my left leg. Thus, back on the Gilenya I go.

And in true typical OCD “A”-personality fashion, I decided to overdo it today. I un-decorated – took the Christmas decorations down, broke down the tree, packed everything away under my crawlspace, and even vacuumed. Now I am paying for it which is probably the reason for the vision and walking issue now.

I don’t like being limited in what I can do, but I just have to learn to slow down or stop sometimes.

Thus, we begin a new year… 2012!  Lets pray for good health!

I am really quite Sick

I am really sick. I saw my neuro today and we are continuing my disability until end of March where we will reassess and likely go long term.

I have to sleep on the damn couch because I don’t want to keep my hubby all night with my insane coughing fits.

And speaking of sleep we are working on trying to get me to have more restful sleep at night. So, I am gonna sign off and try to go to bed before midnight.

So, goodnight everyone!

But you look good and normal

But I look so “good and normal” – unfortunately I can no longer be an acute inpatient physical therapist because of my left leg and arm weakness, as well as my blurry vision… But dammit I look normal!

I can’t walk a mile anymore, which sucks!
Oh, and I have to nap daily or else I cannot function, and then I have horrible insomnia so I can”t sleep well at night (12:52am here right now) and now I have a numb right leg – it’s moved up a bit from the foot. I need to try and get some sleep/rest. My body is a wreck, but dammit I look good!

That’s all I want for Christmas – to feel better.
