Sunday NIght

I know most people, when they think of Sunday NIght they think of football... me not so much. Poor Bears lost tonight. Especially after having just spent four days in the hospital. Sunday nights are usually "ughhh nights" where I have to gear up to head into another week, I review my lesson plans, make sure things are graded and look over the calendar at what the week may hold.

Tonight was just like past sunday nights where I did all of that, only I had two friends come over and we just chilled for like an hour or so. I did no grading or work, they didn't do their school work, we all just chilled. It was nice.

I have mixed emotions heading into this week. It was a strange week last week, and another reminder to me of what my REAL, reality is- I am sick with a disease that has no course of action and no way of planning when it will attack, makes life interesting. Also, how much do I tell people? This is my reality, but who wants to constantly hear how much pain someone is in? or the fact that you joints hurt with EVERY SINGLE MOVEMENT YOU MAKE? Or the fact you were back in the hospital? I am planning on going into work tomorrow. I feel "fine" with the exception of gutch wrenching pain in my joints - especially my hips, elbows and feet but thats because they are still flaring from this week. My ears/head feel better each day and it helps that i started a new medication to help drain the ears. I am all planned and ready for the week and have some things planned with my kids, so that is exciting. I have no "extra" things that will keep me at work in terms of meetings and what not so that i nice. I will go teach and leave. So, I will take it one day a time and see how things go. THankfully I have some great people who really care about me at work and are great friends.

Follow Ups: I will follow up with my PCP in a week for my ear infection, call orthopedics about fluid in my knee and talk to Rheumatology and Endocrinology in a week for a follow up as well, since I just saw them. I was suppose to see cardiology on thursday for testing and follow up So, no i will also have to reschedule all of that. I swear, being sick takes up just as much time as teaching does! 

Well... hope everyone has a great sunday nights rest and heads into the new week all ready to go!!
