The Summer Wind Down (insert sob here)

What?!  Tomorrow is the last day of August?!  Holy Crap!!

This summer has been interesting.  My own major one has been dealing with my Lupus cocktail of medication.  I had to start, what is called, maintenance  drugs and monthly blood work.  Funny how one year can flip your whole world around.  I don't know to consider this bad or good but it just happened and I have to deal with it just like everyone else.

This summer also brought another season of camping (which I posted already).  We always try something new and this year was the 5 gallon water jug and homemade dough for the iron pie pizza and dessert.  Everything is in the later post about camping.

I didn't register for classes this summer per my rheummy.  He wanted me to keep my stress level low to let the meds do their thing.  Well now, I have tingly toes which I am seeing a neurologist Sept 23.  Looking forward to finding out what the heck is going on!  I will be sure to blog about the neurologist and rheummy appointment.

There were other things that went on but rather not air it out on the Internet.  Let me just say that I know who my real friends are.  Enough said!

I will probably post for sure the beginning of the month of all the events that are happening during that time.  I really like how updated Blogger has become.  I am still learning how to customize my blog and steer away from the pre-made templates.  I would welcome any feedback on my blog. :)

Hope everyone had a good summer and for you parents'.... you get your house back!  WOOT! :)

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.
