Life and Things I’ve expanded my walking area, and am averaging 3-4 miles each day now instead of 1-3. My endurance is returning, slowly but surely. As long as I take my meds before serious walking, I don’t usually have any problems during the walk, and so far, I’ve not crashed into shutdown mode. I […]
Life and Things I did my Devil’s Slide walk! It was soooo beautiful. It was nice to have a chance to admire the view without the fear of going over the cliff. I’m confident I could have made the return walk but chose to forego it this trip. A goal three out from the current […]
Life and Things It’s been a quiet week, for the most part. Sunday (April 1st) is my birthday, and I’ve been rather broody through the week. I’m reaching the midpoint of my life, theoretically, and fast approaching the tipping point where I will have been one-eyed longer than full-sighted. Silly things often affect me deeply… […]
Life and Things It’s been a slow, lazy week. I’m adjusting to the new liver medication. As always, simply trying to convince myself I’m not weak because of the chronic illness. Our property is supposed to close mid-April. I’ll believe it when I see it. I really hope it does because I need new glasses […]
Life and Things Oh, blessed gods and goddesses, the stitches are out!! I heal really fast. They should have been removed much earlier, and were slightly infected. But now, all healed!! The deeper tissues still healing, and the areas are tender. Still… I am officially a guinea pig. I started my clinical trial on the […]
Life and Things I’m supposed to be getting my stitches out this weekend. Biopsy results came back positive for granuloma annulare which has a tie to the lupus. While annoying, it’s not dangerous, so that’s a yay. I go on the 14th to get my final prep tests for the clinical trials, and pick up […]
Life and Things Had not one, but two biopsies in my hand on the 1st. They used a teeny cookie cutter to get the samples, which was freaky. The tentative diagnosis is granuloma annulare, which could have come from either lupus, or thyroid condition, or just because my body is special… If that’s what it […]
Life and Things It’s been a pretty quiet week for the most part, though I did get way behind in correspondence and blogging tasks. I let myself get overwhelmed with reviews all due at the same time 😧 I’m doing much better with my leg. I’m back to doing my full weekend walks, albeit with […]
Life and Things My leg is still healing. It’s doing much better than I expected! I think it’s because I actually took the time off work, and rested properly. I often have a hard time with that. I can be very stubborn, and push past my limits. I’m trying to do a better job of […]
Life and Things Well, I managed to pull my hamstring in my right leg, landing me in urgent care this Sunday past. I was off work for five days, staying off that leg as much as possible. The muscle relaxers they gave me make me so sleepy! I’m back at work now. I can […]
