Still feeling like crap sick

I don't have any more news....just that I am still not feeling good. But I think 'good' is probably an understatement....I haven't felt good in over a week, maybe longer.

We are back at our house after spending almost a full week at my mom's. Except for Henry who is on Spring Break this week and will probably stay with her for a few more days. For some reason two kids seem to be much easier to handle than three right now!

I haven't heard back from the doctor about all the blood work, but the longer this continues the more I know that there is something seriously wrong.

I have been on a new kind of steroid {my third round in the last three months} since April 2nd and I am only doing a little better than when I started out!

I honestly wish I could go back in time about a week and a half to when we thought it was just carpal tunnel! A simple surgery and all would be better.

Instead, I sit here day after day waiting for the news that I have some incurable autoimmune disease that I will have to live with forever.

I know that people can live normal lives with these kinds of diseases, but no one wants to be sick for the rest of their life!

Not knowing when I will feel good and when I will feel bad.

How do you make plans, when at any moment you could feel like crap be sick again?

********************

I think the worst part right now is that I can't sleep well. I am in pain....a pain that moves from place to place.

Saturday night it was my left knee and my left elbow

Sunday it was both knees and my left pointer finger {you would be surprised how much one little finger can hurt!!}

Last night it was my right knee and my left wrist

And really, it is the not knowing {and the waiting} that is sort of driving me crazy!

I really think if I knew what was wrong, I would start feeling a little better. Maybe if I knew for sure what it was, then I could try to do something about it!

********************

I feel like I have missed so much in blog land over the last week and a half!! And I have few fun things to post about when I am back to feeling better....hopefully soon!

*

Sorry for such a depressing post!

*

In the meantime, if you could say a prayer for me and my family I would really appreciate it!

Sick

I have been missing from blog land for a few days.

*

I got a major rash starting on Friday.

*

I started running a fever on Saturday.

*

Then got really sore and achy.

*

I've been to the doctor twice....Monday and Tuesday.

*

They still aren't sure what is wrong.

*

We are waiting for blood work to come back.

*

But we won't know anything definite for about 10 days.

*

They are thinking it is could possibly be Rheumatoid Arthritis.

*

For now, I am taking steroids and pain medicine....and we have been staying at my mom's house so she and my sister can help me with the boys.

*

I am starting to feel a little better now that I have some meds in my system.

*

Hopefully I will be back to blogging by next week!

Henry's First T-ball Game

The umpire had to talk to Henry.

Henry kept hitting the ball before the umpire said "Play Ball"!

Henry running for home plate!

Henry's coach helping him get ready to hit the ball.

His team played really well today!
And after all the yucky weather we have had the last few days, it was a beautiful day to be at the ballpark!
