January Things

Happy New Year Everyone!
Well this year holds oodles of things! First is my dad's birthday on the 6th (Happy Birthday, Dad!). I also start my ASL class on the 15th and that will go on until May 6th but it is only on Tuesdays. I am looking forward to learning ASL and using it everyday no matter where I am at. I also found a high risk OB that I will be seeing Wednesday (1/9) about the complications of pregnancy and what we can do to lessen them. I started taking prenatal vitamins that my friend Becca recommended. Both her children were healthy 9 lbs babies.
John and I have been battling a cold for about 2 weeks now. I had it a week before Christmas and the cough still lingers. I will be happy when I can breath without the coughing! I did go to the doctor's the day after Christmas and he said that I had bronchitis and I was prescribed antibiotics. I am slowly getting my appetite back as well. Starting next week I will be getting back on the gym wagon. Amazingly, I havent been hurting too much since I have been nursing myself back to health.
Other than that, things are going ok. A pretty quiet month.

got here through the comment you left from emmyrose blog because i also have lupus.

i already have lupus when i got married and later on got pregnant. before the pregnancy i was not yet declared to be in remission and am suffering also from pulmonary embolism (blood clot in the lungs) but everything went well, the key is to find an OB who really is familiar with LUPUS. And your lupus doctor and OB should have constant communication.

dont worry to much and keep the faith. nine months would just be a breeze.

btw, can i link you up in my blog ?

Dermatologist

OK here's the poop on the Dermi today.  I saw Dr. Henderson and she is a resident at HF.  I went to see a dermi because of the previous post of my sores on my scalp.   She looked me over and was very concerned with the one I have on top of my scalp.  It's deep and she thought it could turn into a cancerous problem.  I did tell her that is where my previous dermi did the punch biopsy.  Dr. H brought in another dr for a second opinion and that doctor stated that if that wound wasn't closed up by stitches and I have lupus, the wound might not have closed up and healed properly.  So in essence, it made Dr. H feel better that it was the area of the punch biopsy.   So today, as I had a hunch, I was injected with cortisone.  That is something I never will forget but she was a lot better than my previous dermi.  She was gentle and gave me some breaks.  I had injections done to the side areas and my crater on top.  The cortisone ...

Ah the life of a lupie!  So much fun! A few days ago, I left eye started to hurt and I thought it was just typical crappy weather problem.  That started Wednesday.  Long story short... it puffed out and I had a fever of 101. Not a pretty picture at all.  It was a lot worse than this.  Just hated  how I looked and felt, especially with the holidays coming around and the noise. Anywho, went to the family doctor today and she gave me antibiotics (augmentin) and boy those are HUGE pills!  Plus she recommended a saline flush so why not.  So now I'm home and just wanted to update my blog since I haven't in some time.  I have been writing in my journal of my own personal thoughts but I like to keep my medical stuff on here so I can refer back. Ok, I'm going to lay down and sleep this pain off.
