Hello, All!
Christmas is almost here! I wish I could say that with a ton of enthusiasm..but I can't. I feel like my Christmas spirit..as well as Halloween and Thanksgiving were all sorta blah this year. We did actually get a Christmas tree...but I've been not feeling well enough to decorate it. I suppose I should..seeing as how there's only a few days left till Christmas. But, I can still enjoy it through New Years. I haven't taken out even half of my Christmas decorations. I haven't finished my Christmas cards...and to make matters worse, I haven't gotten my stamps yet...because I lost my debit card and I have to wait to have it sent through the mail and UGH! Hopefully I will get those sent out before Christmas for goodness sakes. We didn't manage to pull of a christmas card picture this year...so you better believe that next year I'm pulling out all the bells and whistles for the holidays! I will have to admit that I am feeling a lot better. I went to see a neurologist who did a full exam on me. He believes that whatever I have is not neurological...which is good because I had every single symptom of MS. He really believes that I have fibromyalgia. I'm going to say that I have to agree with him, mainly because that's something you can't really diagnose unless you've ruled out pretty much everything..and believe me I've had every test you name it! The only thing I'm waiting for results on is the MRI I had friday night. That's to completely rule out MS. I'm very happy with the fibromyalgia diagnosis because I know it could be much worse. Yes, I will have incredible pain all throughout my life but the good news is..for now, I can control it with my lifestyle. When I'm older I may require some medication. But Honestly, I've noticed the pain has gotten a lot less now that I was diagnosed. I think a lot of the pain that I was having was a direct result of anxiety I was having about not knowing. Yesterday, I felt great, I hardly had any pain until last night. Night, is when the pain or the symptoms are usually the worst but I'm learning to deal with it. Last weekend I landed in the ER thinking I had a blood clot in my leg, the pain was so bad. Lee has been my support through all of this. I think it has really brought us closer together. When you go through something like this, you feel really helpless and without him there I probably would have LITERALLY gone crazy. Thanks to everyone for all the prayers. We BOTH really appreciate it.
SO...on a lighter note..I woke up this morning to some snow! Ok...a dusting. BUT it's beautiful and our kitties love it! Pumba wont get out of the window..he's just staring at it. I'm so excited to go home this week and see Roanoke pretty and white for Christmas. Then, we'll be traveling to Winston Salem to spend some quality time with the Money's. John will be spending New Year's Eve with us here..honestly I'm not really sure what we'll be doing. I didn't really plan on doing anything but we'll think of something. I'm taking Lee out for his birthday...he's been wanting to go to the melting pot and there's some dumb movie he wants to see. Then, Lee got me tickets to go see Legally Blonde..the broadway show! I'm so excited! I can't beleive next year is when we're getting married! Only 260 days left...i can't wait to spend the rest of my life with the man of my dreams!
Well...that's it for now..Merry Christmas to all! have a safe and happy holiday!
