Nov. 2, 2010

I can't believe that November is already here. I am already freezing and my boys said that its not even cold yet. Yikes! I started Consolidation 1 and can already tell that its going to take a lot of patience and encouragement through the next 30 weeks. I am coming off of the steroids, which every three weeks I will be back on for a week, and the side affects are not so nice. The body shakes and the aches and pains in all of your bones and joints is not my idea of a fun thing. There are days when I feel so alone, now that I am home the phone hardly rings, the visits have not been as often and I think that is when the depression and despair set in.
I went to the clinic yesterday and all my counts are great, the nurses and Dr. know just how to boost you up so you can keep going. You think that you are feeling crappy and they let you know that you are just sailing through. I have so many blessings to be thankful for and remind myself, no matter how hard it gets, we can have a good cry, pick myself up and move forward. I get frustrated with all that needs to be done to keep me safe and not get sick and I can't do them, I am not good at asking for help, but I need lots of help.! I love my family so much and appreciate all that they do for me. I have the best friends in the world and thank you all for your prayers.
