End of the World....FAIL!

-
Last night was just a bit over the top with all the 'end of the world' shows. I did watch one since I was curiousness on what these people had to say.  I have better things to do than worry about the world blowing up and hey.. how about this; if it did, nothing I can do at that minute will make a darn difference!

Anywho, this week has been really great for me!  I got to spend some time with my cousin, Annie, on Tuesday; Wednesday the Longs went out to dinner for Christmas; and today (Friday) I am meeting up with some friends for a quickie breakfast then I am up off to my folks house for the day.  Later on, supposed to go Christmas shopping.

I am still in need of getting my little family together to get a photo but lately it has been just me and the boys.  Here's our picture:

yup, still no hair! I did shave it using the 1/8" guard and it makes a difference on my scalp.  It is not so irritated.  The missing area does have some baby hair on it (very fine) but it is so light.  Still getting used to it but it has been easier when I am around people who know me and not stare at my physical appearance.  I know people can be uncomfy with seeing others that are different but c'mon... you are supposed to be an adult.  Instead of staring, how about smiling at me?  *gasp*  

I have been wearing my headwraps a little differently.  Instead of wrapping the entire head up, I fold the cloth into a strip and tie it around my forehead and then I can wear a hat on top without making my head too hot and irritated.


Figure, since it is cold but my scalp needs to breath and I have oodles of colors...LET'S DO IT!  

Anywho, Donna is leaving tonight to stay up here for a week, I don't go back to school until the 7th and things can ease up for a bit!

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.
