Too busy Mood
Friday, July 17, 2009

I have been stuggling through each day for several weeks now. Between the pain and the loss of feeling in my limbs it is difficult to move. When you add in the fatigue it is impossible to get anything done. Finally this week I felt able to accomplish some things. I got my son signed back up for WIC and registered for preschool, I sent in the paperwork for the kids medical insurance, I scrubbed my carpets in the downstairs with the help of a very good friend. (Only a very good friend would come and do most of the work for you:) ) I rested for the most part for the past 2 days and then had a day filled with grocery shopping all morning and company all evening. Now I am finally feeling comfortable and exhausted so I can go to bed. But like an idiot I am writing in this journal because it feels so good to feel better. I know that tomorrow when I wake the day will be painful as I do my banking and order the cake for my little boy's baptism, but for this moment I am greatful for a few pain free moments...

Appointment with the Neurologist Mood
Tuesday, June 23, 2009 | A General Update story
Well I finally got the appointment for the Cleveland Clinic. I go on July 31. They also put me on the cancelation list so if something comes sooner I can get in. I'm happy I've finally got the appointment, but a nervous wreck at the same time. I know this means more tests and surgery. I hope I am strong enough to stand all of this. I know it says that God never gives us more than we can handle, but like Mother Teresa, I just wish he didn't trust me so much. The waiting for this portion is almost over. Just a little over a month and I will at least have a better idea of what to expect. I am just scared of what it is I will find out. I guess a part of me feels like this is all a bad joke and someone is gonna say sike at any minute and it will all be over with, but the reality is that it's not a bad joke. It's not gonna end. It's just going to continue. Hopefully the doctor can make me at least a little better.
