So the good news is that my medicine finally came today! It's a shot for five days of a hormone that will make my body produce more of it's own natural steroid. In turn, hopefully making me feel like a new woman! Fingers are crossed.
Another good thing about the medicine is that it was completely free for me. It has been so stressful with all of these medical bills rolling in everyday. Last week, when I checked the mail, I said something to Vince about how there was no mail and I couldn't believe it was a day without medical bills! Then about an hour later we heard the mail come, (the mail man must of been running late) and of course there were bills! I guess I spoke too soon.
Besides all of the bills, the other bad news is just that I haven't really been doing much better. I think that I am adjusting to feeling this way though, which makes it seem that I am doing a little better. I'm finding ways to do things for myself without having to bother Vince, or my mom to help me. It's not really an adjustment that I wanted to make, but c'est la vie.
I've started using a cane, which has been an experience. I began using a cane my mom had in the basement. It was my great grandfathers. I jazzed it up with a little bling I picked up from Walmart. I just wanted to try it out before I bought one. Well it turns out that I really like using the cane. It helps me keep my balance, and helps my fatigue. So my mom bought me a fancy one. It's a really pretty purple color with a really soft handle. The other cane had a wooden handle, and it hurt my wrist when I used it for a long period of time. So I was really excited about the handle.
I have gotten some looks from people when I use my cane, mostly kids though. It doesn't really bother me. The best part about my cane though, is that people move out of my way! I love that. But of course as much as I like the assistance of my cane right now, I don't want to be using it forever! I'll be glad to put it in the closet!
Lastly, I really need to shout out to my parents and Vince's parents for all of their love and support through all of this. They have all been awesome. I love you all very much!
