It's been a rough couple of weeks - my worst, so far - in terms of symptoms. My legs don't hurt as badly as they used to, but they get tired just walking from my living room to the kitchen. My arms, on the other hand, HURT. Some days, it is too painful to even type. But there is good news, too! My mom bought a mini air conditioner for my bedroom (which has always been about 20 degrees hotter than the rest of the house), so I can be comfortable when I am lying down. There is also hope on the horizon. This week, I should finally be in the computer system for my medical card, so am looking forward to being able to see my doctor for the first time in several years, to finally start getting a definitive diagnosis and begin some sort of treatment.
The Furry Terrors are doing well. Bubba has been shadowing me, especially on days when he senses I'm feeling especially unwell. And Rocky has made a lot of progress! He still doesn't like to be held, doesn't sit in my lap, but when I am up and at the computer, he is usually lying nearby now - just out of my reach. He has also started jumping up on the loveseat next to my chair for a little bit of attention, although he prefers his love from that slight bit of distance. He and Bubba are not best buddies, but they often lie next to each other at the foot of my bed, enjoying the cool air.
Will let you know what the doctors have to say, when I get in to see them.
Oh Beth, I'm so sorry to hear how terrible you've been feeling. I've continued to struggle with my back problems, but it's nothing compared to what you're going through. I hope you get your medical card soon, so your doctor can start figuring out what's wrong. Fingers crossed, and chin up -- the ball will start rolling soon :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Squish. I won't have to wait until the card is actually in my hands - once I am in the computer system (which should be any day now), I can see the doctor. I might try and make the appointment today and see what happens.
ReplyDeleteI hope your back feels better soon!
Hey Beth, i'm sending you my e-hug, i know it's not enough, but i wish everything will soon be fine. You take care all the time alright? and don't tire your self too much =)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Glamel. *Hugs back!*
ReplyDeleteI so hope they find an answer, and solution, for your medical issues. Not knowing what is happening to your body is difficult to handle.
ReplyDeleteTake very good care of you. Please keep us posted.
