I think today is about as good as a day I can have.  Although my hips, back, neck and shoulder hurt...the pain isn't out of control.  I can distract myself from it for the most part. Although I am really tired, I'm not falling asleep like I did yesterday.  My lymph nodes are swollen but not real bad.  And my stomach was a mess yesterday, but it is only just slightly touchy today.  Ok,... so by the look of it, I'm not feeling that great, however, considering how bad I have been, it is a vast improvement.  

Maybe I can do a little more work in the spare room today.  Somehow I managed to work in there for just a few minutes yesterday. i am not sure how i managed to do anything yesterday with all the pain i was in.  

So again, i don't know if I posted this.  But I am in the processes of getting a wheel chair.  I have the prescription and now we are waiting to see if the doc records of my last apts are enough for medicare to pay for it.  Although I do have an appointment set up in case they need more info.  My last apt i mainly talked about my hip pain, and they ordered the x-rays and MRI and then I also saw an orthopedic doc for my osteoarthritis.  But I didn't ask for a wheel chair at that time, just talked about how bad the pain is in my hips and how i can't walk sometimes. So I'm praying for it to be enough, but if it isn't, then I will go in and have her put in the notes specifically that I need one.  I've used one off and on for some time.  If i can manage to walk, I do and have been, when I can't, then I will use a wheel chair.  Oh, and not an electric one, just a manual one. We used to be able to borrow them from the funeral home, but they don't have any right now.  I figure I can use it in the house if I need to.  But I should have it before the convention, as that is where i will need it the most. 

I talked with Lauren for an hour last night. She was telling me about Trista's first student talk and how the meeting was.  Oh, and then this morning, I found that Tera had posted a video of her talk.  So cute and she did such a good job.  It just hugs the heart to hear young ones praising Jehovah.  Like all the little ones we have in our hall and hearing them comment.. oh just so LOVE it!!

whoa.... i almost fell asleep just now... in fact i may have.  maybe i'm not doing as well as i thought i was.  i'm on the new thyroid dose, maybe it isn't enough.  maybe my thyroid is dying or something, that i can just fall asleep like that.  I did that yesterday too...just fell asleep sitting up in a chair, kind of like i am now.  but this has been happening for months.  we figured it was my thyroid as the numbers have been off on my lab work. I just don't know what is going on with me.  maybe when i go in, i will have her check my tsh early
