I don't really know about how interesting it is to be blogging everyday. I would think that it kind of gets boring. Today I went to garage sales again. That was pretty fun, I guess. LOL! Another late night last night, I was up till 2 am. I was up at 9:30 and I didn't even have a nap today. I was pretty surprised. When I woke I had pain in both my back and joints. It was however not too bad and I'm sure the gabapentin was key. So as soon as meds kicked in I was just fine. We ran lots of errands today and had to pick up two extra meds. yay! :/ When we got home we even went for a mile walk with a ravine/valley in the middle. I for sure had to do some stretching after that.
Back to the story:
Lets just say that after going to the Rheumatologist in 2007 and having labs drawn, I was diagnosed with lupus. I was home alone at the time that I got the letter, and my parents were across the united states over 22 hours away. I didn't know much about what that meant and entailed. The only thing I knew was that my finger hurt and I was always very exhausted. So, shortly after being diagnosed and having excruciating pain in my hand for 3-4 months, I was given a cortisone injection in the knuckle of my right pointer finger. For those of you who have never had a cortisone injection, it stings and burns like heck. I think I held my breathe as they did it, and my face turned red. Ha it wasn't fun, but it was an experience. You know something I haven't had done before kind of makes it interesting. I am then also able to know what other people feel when they talk about the pain they've experienced. I have more compassion than I did before. I'm more keen on knowing the reason behind the symptoms by hearing people talk in there everyday conversations. It has been quite the journey, but I believe that I am being taken on it for a bigger reason, one that I may never realize. Blessed be the rock that is higher than I!
