This is my journey through the life threatening illness of HES. Treatments, pills, infusions, injections and chemo. I write for my family, if you don't like, don't read it. Some days I'm full of comics and jokes, others, you'll hear about the pains, the hurt, the struggles I go through with this illness, and then sometimes, if you're realllllly lucky, you might get a glimpse into my insane crazy love life! :))

4.3.12
Did you vote today? Yes, of course I did! I told a friend who asked, " I'M THE NRA AND I VOTE!!!"
Brit is doing her patch testing. It's day two and she's miserable. Anyone who has ever had it done, (I've done it twice now) knows that its a living hell for 4 days. When we got done, the bill was just under $1600.00. Gotta love insurance she said, like she'd ever have to pay the bill. Yes, I trained her well! ;). But no antihistamines for last week and this, for the tests. And without her taking them (at night) I uh... Kinda forgot mine too. We're a sneezing runny mess. She punched herself in the nose yesterday she had em going so often. I bonked my own head this morning sneezing. The ladies in the center where I work kept saying geez, bless you again Kirsten! Ugh.
Ive been on this new regimen of medication cocktails for almost 2 weeks now and I see a little improvement. My joints arent near as swollen and I can make it through most days (if they're completely UNSTRESSFUL) without crashing and needing a nap by 3. My darling day shift coworkers are so good to me and really are helpful to keep up making sure I rest enough. I keep asking the boss, she she has little ones, if it's fair for them to take naps in kindergarten and they have boatloads of energy, why can't us 'older' folks take one cuz we have so much LESS energy?! Makes total sense to me....
I have company coming tomorrow for just over a week. Whoooooppoeeeeee! :). We've known each other since what, grade school? Wicked. It's going to be fun. I'm excited and nervous as shit. Y'all know how self conscious I am.....
Class is way tough this semester. The American constitution and criminal law. Damn. But, I finished my last class, crime prevention with a very high B. I was disappointed in myself for not trying harder. I like having my GPA above 3.5 but I think it's now about 3.4. Not good...for me. Damn perfectionism.
We're gonna try tubing at arctic valley again next weekend. last weekend was terrible. I was late getting off work by an hour, slid and went sideways backwards on the hill, we were minutes too late so couldn't sled, I slipped cuz I brought the wrong boots, wiped out on the already BAD knee and nailed Sheila in her bad knee, almost ran out of gas going back to town and then Brit crashed her car into a snowbank and I thought they were gonna go over the side of the mountain...... It was a hella long day.
So, for Easter, let's try again!! And this time, no friggn UGGS!!!
K. Off for now, just needed to check in.
