i may look 23...but i feel 85
well, it has been an interesting past couple of days...im at home right now watching ellie while my parents are in brown county (i think) with pat and brian. it feels SOOOOOOO good to be home...even though my family isnt here. its just me, wes, and the doggies. i love it. it makes me super excited for the time when wes and i can get our own house. im so over apartments.
so, i worked on thursday night at the plex. i went to the bathroom and noticed my thighs were kinda blotchy, red. i was like ew sick but didnt think much of it. so a little while later i notice the same blotchy, redness on my forearms and was like, "omg do i have a RASH???" it was sick. but what can you really do for a rash? so i went to bed and forgot about it.
well, i woke up at like 3 am and my elbows and wrists hurt like hell. it felt like i got the crap beat out of me or ran over by a semi truck. i figured, "oh, our bed is kinda jank, maybe i just slept wrong." sooo when i get up to go to school, i realize not only do my elbows and wrists kill me but my knees and ankles do too. what the hell?? when i damn near fell down the stairs at my apartment...i knew something wasnt right. so when my mom called to check up on the rash from the night before, i told her about my janked out joints and she was like, "sarah, thats really weird and not cool, im gonna call the doctor and see what they say" so mom calls the doctor who was like "whoa that IS weird, have her come in asap" GRRREAT! i had a test in social psych that i didnt even get to really start bc i had to go to the doctor.
soooo...i get to the doctor and she looks at my sweet body and whatever, and is like, "well, i think we need to do a blood test to test for RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS, LUPUS, and a THYROID problem" i dont really know what all those are, except that im 23 years old and should NOT have any of those words in my vocabularly, let alone HAVE ONE affecting my body!!!!!!!!!
its so frustrating. wes and i went to walmart today and there were--im not kidding--seriously 80 year olds who could move around better than i can right now. and of course, the test results wont be in til next week since i had to get them done on a friday. of course.
oh well, i guess. it could always be worse. it just sucks. im 23, getting ready to graduate college, go to paris, basically start my LIFE, and now i can barely walk.
sweet.
say a prayer for my awesome joints.
