30 Days of Thanksgiving Day 29

Right now I am thankful for the fact that Hubby and I were able to stop being so angry & hostile with one another long enough to laugh with & at one another and be silly for a little while. (Things are a tad on the stressful side in our house hold as of late).

Unfortunately, I'm not going to be able to update on yesterday's activities just yet. I'm still very exhausted and apparently yet another case of strep seems to be the culprit for the moment. I've called in a refill on my antibiotics which Hubby's going to pick up in the morning and I've got to take it easy for the time being.

Right now I'm off to have a spot of tea and a piece of Holiday Bread (from Panera). I hope y'all are having a peaceful Sunday evening!

With all of the added stress, don't forget to take care of yourself!

Big hugs my dear sweet girl. It's exhausting to have strep. I had mono once and I just wanted to sleep all day and night. I was a grump head too and then you don't feel good on top of that.

Ya'll quit fussing---it doesn't do any good. You are gonna be the same people if you do and if you don't. I know. I been married 31 years. We are the same people as when we met. So just decide that the same things that make you mad make you glad.

I've been broke twice. I didn't change then either. So just decide to be glad and be done with it.
Thank you Lisa! I'm trying, I'm trying.

Thank you fgg! I am wiped out, more so than usual. I'm just trying to take it easy & pace myself when doing a few things.

An Enchanted Garden Party

Welcome to my post! To visit other participants, please head over to the Practical Magic Blog Party 2010 blog. I must say that while I think Practical Magic the movie is adorable, I think the novel is incredible. And that is where I gleaned my inspiration from for these festivities. Gardens are mysterious, magical and enchanting, don't you think? Now follow me out into the garden, I have everything all ready for you, including music! (Turn your volume on). *Update: Music has reverted to my regular Fall soundtrack, 9/28/2010* For all of you non Practical Magic Blog Party folks, head on over to NJ Through My Eyes where I've posted 2 new slide-shows today; one is a preview of a new project I'm working on!

A Walk Through The (Dis)Enchanted Forrest (Halloween Party Post)

Welcome & thank you for visiting my post! For more Halloween fun today & throughout the weekend, visit A Fanciful Twist .

(Though it didn't post at 12:01am like it was supposed to). Anyhoo, I'm home and resting (uncomfortably). Surgery went well, my kidney tube and stone are gone! I have an internal stent on the left hand side but I'm okay with that because it comes out in the doctor's office in 2-3 weeks (no back to the hospital) and especially because it meant they could take that nephrostomy tube out! (The last nearly 2 weeks of that 15 weeks was rough with that thing, my body was simultaneously trying to heal aroun...

Not Exactly Music To My Ears and Acceptance

Went to my 'every 6 weeks' follow-up doctor's appointment with my Rheumologist yesterday morning. Apparently my heart palpitations/racing (not often, though enough to be noticeable), vision issues (blurriness and discomfort) and muscle cramps (too often & not dehydration) are "disease progression." Not exactly music to my ears I can tell you that much. We discussed my pain & swelling levels (back on the rise through the last 2 iv treatments) and agreed that my iv med should be increased from 400mg every 8 weeks to 500mg every 8 weeks. (This brings me closer to the area of 800mg, which Dr. A feels would be the max dose for me, and the fact that I'm getting closer to that mark scares me). One good thing to note, my blood pressure was "normal" for (at least) the 3rd follow-up in row and without meds, so at least that's one less thing for me to worry about (though it's like a needle in a hay stack really). I'm always on the verge ...
