I know it's been a while but an update nontheless
Can you imagine it feels like only yesterday I was putting up the Christmas tree! Here we are headed full force in to July…
Kids are enjoying summer vacation even though Taylor would like to go more places and hang out with people other than her family. We got a pool.. IT is HUGE above ground and was used so we are still working out some (used) kinks but it’s still nice.. IT is really great to have something to wear out the boys so they sleep at night. With nothing to occupy their brains (aside from the occasional educational game I try to force down their throats) they need to wear off steam somehow.
Johnny is working Deadhead Cyprus with his BIL (this is logging for anyone that might not know) and had put his business aside for now knowing it will be hard to do this and keep up with the kids after I start school.. My First day is July 27th and I am so excited! I’m sure that will die off soon as I have been on my own schedule for years and here I go Hooked to the college almost every day for the next year.
Medically; the freak of nature is still here I think I told you all about getting sick landing myself in the hospital and still recovering with this stiffness and pain you would not believe.. They started out thinking I had RA.. And other than that baffled at why blood tests aren’t going along with it and how it came on so suddenly.. I have been to 3 doctors and have the Apt with the 4th on the 9th of July. (A Rheumatologist) And they all look at my like “DUH” they have no clue.
So John has his annual Physical and I thought well heck why not I’ll ask his Pead.. She is a wonderful woman and never has any problem talking to me about anything so I tell her my story and I even told her they said I had step throat in the hospital something which I thought had nothing to do with anything else.. she says “OK you go see Dr Crayton (the rheumatologist) and you tell him everything make sure you tell him you work in healthcare, you have small kids at home, and you had strep throat” HUH!!! Why does that matter??? She tell me to go home and read up on it and the Dr I am going to see will know what she was talking about but she believes I got Rheumatic fever!!! I swear I am the queen of obscure viruses!!!!! I got chicken pox when I was 21 when I was 23 I had spinal meningitis and now this? Good news is the arthritic symptoms only last for about 6 months. Bad news is it could have hurt my heart valves.. so anyway I guess I will have something definite on the 9th but I am just happy it is looking like something other than RA the prognosis for that is down right crappy and I am not good one to take meds every day for the rest of my life.. Heck I can’t even remember my daily vitamins!!
