April 24, 2007 ~ The day my life changed.

So I've been quiet for quite awhile, had so much going on I don't even know where to begin.

I've been diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis and I'm scared to death. That's a huge understatement, I can't even begin to explain to you how much of one. I'm dealing with it though, I just got a book that is written by someone who has this disease and it's amazing. I'm only on the 2nd chapter, but it's already helped me to realize that this disease is not a death sentence, nor is it a guarantee that I will be disabled anytime soon.

I've also got to update you on the colonsphy results. The polyop was turning cancerous, I would have had colon cancer in 6 months if they wouldn't have caught it. In a few weeks I have to go in for another and they are going to scrape off some white stuff I have in my colon, if they can't get it out I am going to have to have surgery.

I've also got a para-umbilical hernia that is going to need surgery. ::big sigh::

I'm going to try so hard to keep this updated so I can document what is going on. I'm also hoping that I can keep tabs on my feelings and just try not to get so stressed out.

Thanks for all your well-wishes over the last few months, and please keep me in your thoughts or prayers once in a while. If my posts get to sappy or poor me, I'm sorry but I really need to get this out and most of the people in my day to day life are trying to be strong for me, so I need to be strong for them.
