Results of the "Evil Doc" appointment and just some other stuff!

I’ve been on tons of meds (6 pills a day), ended up having to have a hysterectomy because my reproductive system was shutting down and poisoning me, all to no avail as the disease just kept getting worse. I actually was losing function in my hands/feet/movement in my neck/shoulders/hips/etc, but I got lucky when we moved out here and a small town doc in a one wing hospital decided that he wanted to try a new med on me. It’s a once a week injection into my gut (not as painful as you would think, trust me, I didn't even wince) and it actually depletes my immune system (here come the head colds, flu’s, and pneumonia) so I have to be careful who I’m around and stuff, but it seems to be working. I’m not taking any of my other meds (the doc would leave me on them I decided to go off of them to see if this really worked with no other variables) and so far so good!!!!! The back pain is severely less, I’m still having minor pains and periodic shooting pains in my hands, feet, elbows, and legs, but it’s been less than 24hrs so I’m not going to look a gift horse in the mouth. I'll keep everyone updated through the blog, but I'm really hopeful that this is going to work for me. I haven't been without back pain for as long as I can remember or hip pain for that matter and right now I'm feeling a slight ache in my hands and some pain in my heels and my neck(well no shit on the pain in my neck considering I'm at the computer with improper posture typing right now, that doesn't take a genius to figure out). I had an amazing nights sleep for the first time in years with no muscle relaxers so the world is looking up in that respect.

The kids are doing fantastic and their last day of school is June 5th so we're all looking forward to that. They're also looking forward to my horse coming out here so that they can go riding in the arena this summer (especially Jordan she has a pink helmet all picked out)! They’re really enjoying themselves and they love the beach out here. Isabel and EJ come out for their 42 days on the 3^rd of June (so right around the corner) and we can’t wait to see them. The plane tickets are a chunk of change but it’s all worth it! Eddie’s looking to retire to Huntsville AL in the next three years so that we can buy horse property and build me a house. He’s looking at being a government contractor doing security for the same program he’s in now and doing a lot of traveling so he knows that if I don’t have to work, am somewhere warm, am near the beach, and have my horses that it’s all good and I can deal with him being gone for a year and then coming home to work Huntsville for a year or two then leaving again.

So Life is looking up in our world!
