Generally, I am feeling great. We are in the process of buying a home and should be in it by early December. I am really excited about spending the Christmas holiday in our very first new home. We are having some issues with the closing being pushed forward, but I am trying to be optimistic about it.
In regards to how I physically feel, well not too bad, except that last night at the youth meeting...

What a fun couple of days I have had, not. First I get to do all of the testing with the opthamalogist and the tech tried to play little tricks on me. I had to explain to her that with the MG my eyes get tired very quickly and each slide at first would look clearer than the other, then the eye strain would come in and it would get blurry. She replied that was good because she wa...

I came home yesterday (well to kyles). I have an electric hospital bed here, which is great! Yesterday was hard. I was taking 2 of my pain pills every four hours and I kept seeing double vision so I'm taking one every 2 hours and it seems to be working better!
My leg felt like it was 100lbs, it's very hard to manuever and I have to have help getting in and out of bed. The only time I do ge...2 Comments -

I just got back from my doctors appointment. He said the surgery is "Zimmer Trabecular Metal Osteonecrosis Intervention Implant". Basically he's putting a titanium nail in my hip... you'll have to google it to get the rest of the info. But the good news is I don't have to stay overnight in the hospital (if everything goes as planned of course). Although I did really like the...3 Comments -

Raynaud's Disease Information
Raynaud's disease (RAY-noz) is a condition that affects blood flow to the extremities which include the fingers, toes, nose and ears when exposed to temperature changes or stress. It was named after Maurice Raynaud (1834 - 1881), a French physician who first described it in 1862. The symptoms include several cyclic color changes:
- When exposed to cold temperatures, the oxygen supply to the fingertips, toes, and earlobes of Raynaud's disease patients are reduced and the skin color turn pale or white (called pallor) and become cold and numb.
- When the oxygen supply is depleted, the skin colour turns blue (called cyanosis).
- These events are episodic and when the episode subsides, or the area is warmed, blood returns to the area and the skin colour turns red (rubor) and then back to normal, often accompanied by swelling and tingling. These symptoms are thought to be due to reactive hyperemias of the areas deprived of blood flow.
All three colour changes are present in classic Raynaud's disease. However, some patients do not see all of the colour changes in all outbreaks of this condition.
Flat nails are also associated with Raynaud's disease.
