Doing okay

Nov 17, 2011 15:59

Had my colonoscopy on Monday and I think it was mostly good news. The doctor sent some labs, but they think I have IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) and I was too groggy to get all the details when I woke up from the procedure. I still feel very tired and in some ways, sore. But I think I'll be fine. I still have to look forward to a visit with an endocrinologist about my thyroid growths; and get an MRI to see if there is anything seriously wrong with my back. I'm still having some low back pain and I've been going to physical therapy for awhile and had three rounds of Trigger Print Injections. I would rather not have to rely on pain medication for the rest of my life if I can help it.   :P

Got a new doctor to deal with the depression and stress I'm always under. I hope to get a new therapist soon and continue getting better, both physically, emotionally, and mentally.

I feel like my eyes have become open and there are a lot of new sensations I am experiencing lately. Things like pure innocent enjoyment of something I love or of feeling safe in the world or the feeling like someone out there actually cares for me. It's a lot to take in, and can be overwhelming.

Tomorrow is my birthday. I'll be 26 years old.  Yay.   ^^
