Journal Entry for August 9, 2009 Mood
Sunday, August 9, 2009 | A General Update story
So much has been going the last few months. I had a mega flare for almost 2 months and thought I would never come out of it. In less than six months the width of my feet went from a AA width to a wide width!!!!! Talk about pain!! Went on Humira and failed it completely. I have been off all biologics again for 6 weeks waiting for insurence to approve me going back on Enbrel. To the point I can't hardly feed myself. I have been to 3 occupational hand therapy sessions. Had splints made for both of my hands and wrists. Had one water therapy session and have had one thing or another happen so that I could not get another session in. My mother in law spent 4 days in the hospital and found out that she has a major liver disease that will only get worse. While in the hospital they took 13 pounds of fluid off of her. Supposed to be getting a new chair. It has been in the works for months now and still don't know when I will get it. I got a voice recognition program for my computer so that I can go hands free, but it is taking time to train it and me.  I see a light at the end of this tunnel and knowing my luck it will be a train. Life rools on and I know it will get better!!!!!
