weather report

LOL, it was foggy outside, but the fog had pollution in it. I like fog best when there's no pollution in it.

Today I had PT and OT, very rough times this morning but pressed through anyway. Went for follow up at cardiologist, then my neurologist called and asked to talk with me for 15 minutes so I said OK. Yesterday saw the doctor in charge of the exercise and recovery and before that I saw the foot doctor and lupus doctor.

Amazingly, they're finally in agreement!

I'm going to get a test to see if I'm eligible for a certain medicine. If I qualify for the medicine, then the results are dramatic. Not that I want anything new, I just want to feel better!

I saw video today of a woman and another video of a dog.....both of them got the medicine and they went from bedridden and barely able to walk, and within an HOUR they went to mopping a floor, smiling and in the case of the dog.....wagging his tail as he pranced around the room.

My blood pressure is perfect now. (it was too low, but now I take medicine to raise my blood pressure). My cardiologist forbids me from losing weight until things are much more stable, he says losing weight will lower my blood pressure and just hang in there until things are good and stay good. He also said that taking prednisone for a year....I'm doing very well weight wise compared to others in the same position and not to worry., yet. He also says my body sought to gain weight in the hopes of raising the blood pressure and says to leave it be. OK, my internal medicine, lupus doctor and cardiologist are all saying the same thing.

Plus, I have no idea why my Neurologist called out of the blue, but let's hope this is God inspired and is going to give us breakthrough.

I'm excited and I can barely wait!

Phil gets his surgery tomorrow and the kids prayed for him. They were so cute! They actually know what it's like to have surgery on the tummy!
