Hello Monday! I am ready for ya!

Another Monday morning is here and I am feeling GOOD!  We had a nice, low key weekend.  It was chilly and rainy, but that's ok.  I am very thankful that we only had the rain to deal with and not the snow and ice that so many of my loved ones are (still) having to deal with.  What a crazy winter it has been all over the place!

I went to the DR again last week, got a referral to go to a dermatologist for a biopsy on the strange sore I've had under my arm for months now...oh I hope for answers soon!  Also added a few new meds and the DR helped me with my medication schedule....apparently, I was taking a few later in the day than I should, which could be part of the reason I have not been sleeping.  I thought I had read through all of the side effects for all of the meds and what I can or can not take with what; clearly going from one Nexium a day to several pills daily was just an over load for me...I just overlooked some things, I guess.  I am happy to report that, since switching times up I have actually slept almost all night long both Saturday AND Sunday!  Wow!  It's amazing what sleep can do!  I feel GOOD today!

I know this may sound very silly to many of you, but for me, feeling good is a really big deal right now.  This is my reality for now and it has been for 5 or 6 months, I am dealing with it the best I can and keep faith that one day soon I will feel "normal" once again and my life, my family's life, can just be "normal" again, too.  It's frustrating when I can't make "the right words" come out of my mouth, slur words, stutter.  It stinks to have achey joints & muscles almost always.  The dizziness and disorientation is scary!  I miss my family back home and my friends, I wish I could just hop in the car and go! But, I can't . All that said, I am not sitting here feeling sorry for myself (there were moments I have, I will admit that).  I know that I will be ME again and I know that my situation could be so much worse than it is.  I am blessed with family and friends who understand and are here to support me...my husband and kiddo, I have no words, really. They are AWESOME!  I know that my issues are affecting them and I know it must be frustrating for them at times, not once have either one of them shown it.  They truly are my biggest blessings and I am so thankful for them!


I'd like to close with two verses, that a friend posted on Facebook recently...I find comfort in them and maybe, you will too.

 "Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see."  Hebrews 11:1

"Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.  Each day has enough trouble of its own."  Matthew 6:34


Until next time....SMILE
