Sorry I haven’t posted in a while. Things have been busy,
and I don’t like to post if I don’t have anything to say. I have decided to
write the majority of this post without using my spellcheck or backspace
button. Why? I think it would be a good indicator to some as to what has
happened to my coordination with this CIDP. Obviously, we all make errors
without an illness, but mine are quite numerous, and sometimes funny! This is
going to be tough for me, as my OCD is going to kick in, and I’ll probably end
up with a nervous tick by the end…but, here goes:
I do for my ltewt infusion today. I have’t had onn for a
week and a half, and I’m starting to feel really tired. The doctor, last week
told me he want to up the regquntcy to evey week os that he can stay adhead of
the disease. This mediicing is very hard on the ol’ veins, so I also have an
apopointmey with the surgeon, tomorrow to see about getting a subclavian port
placed . This is supposted to make it a little easier to reciefve the medications
and safv me from being studck every week. It’s a minor surgical procedure and
should oly take about 20-30 minutes. The biggest risk in infrction, which if the
nurses access the port properly that shouyd’t be an issue.s So, wish me luck!
Okay, that’s enough. Was that as painful to read as it was
to actually type? I mean, I make mistakes without being sick, but that’s
ridiculous! LOL!
Yesterday, I made some fried rice for the family (couldn’t
stand for very long, so I pulled up a stool to the stove!). What was I
thinking? Me and a bunch of loose grain together at meal time? There was so
much rice flyin’ it looked like someone just got married. Going to have to make
better eating choices. Not just for my diet (which DEFINITELY has to improve),
but for my ability to eat! If I can’t stab it, maybe I shouldn’t eat it…there’s
a thought. I’m going to have to start carrying a bib. My wardrobe looks like
over-sized toddler clothes with all the stains on them.
Well, I hope everyone stayed safe and warm, this weekend. It’s
about time to get back to the grind. After a great weekend with the family and
too much football, yesterday, it’s time to head back to work. But, I am blessed
in that aspect. I LOVE my job. I LOVE my students, staff and coworkers. I can
NOT think of a better place to be, right now. No place is perfect, but I am
where God wants me to be at this point in my life.
Here’s to hoping all of you have a safe and beautiful
Christmas season. May the blessings of Christ our Lord be upon each and every
one of you, and may He keep you safe and healthy in the year to come.
I got a chuckle tying to read some of your post w/o spell chk. You know its funny, after I get my treatments, I get really fatgied. Seems that I have more energy before a treatment.
ReplyDeleteI can relate to this. I make my living as a writer. I've made more typos in the past year (diagnosed with CIDP in May) than in the previous 25 professional years put together. :-\
