Lupus Bus Tour 2013

-
Today, Janice and I went to Royal Oak for lunch and to see the Lupus Bus!  Our first stop was at Monterrey Catina for some Mexican food!  It was really yummy!!!  I had the shredded chicken tostadas lunch.  Good thing because the lunch plate was huge!
As you can see in this picture... yeah huge!  Of course, we scarfed on the chips and salsa.  After our filling lunch, we stopped at Starbucks for a coffee to wake from the food coma.  Then, of course, there was a cupcake place and I bought some.  I am still full from lunch so those may not be consumed until tomorrow!  I cannot believe I ate so much!



So, after eating, drinking and shopping was done, we ventured back to the car to drop off our things and to walk off our lunch.  When we arrived, we saw the bus was already there! We arrived at the Royal Oak Farmer's Market at 12:30pm and I thought the tour was at 1:30.  Glad it was early and we got in before the crowds.  We had a lot of the attention from the staff giving us information and walking us through the bus.
The video tour is actually done from last stop to the first.  It was really cool to see the videos, interactive information as well.  It was really worth going to see this!  The last stop was a snapshot from the bus where we could write a message.  I let Janice choose what to write... :)  
The day was pretty miserable with the rain, colder temps and a bit of a wind, but we managed and at the end of our tour, the #LHandSign for Lupus Awareness was flashed!
It was a very productive day.  Now, to relax at home and maybe take a nip out of those yummy cupcakes! :)

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.
