Aw, thanks Janey!! I'm doing ok. It was nice to have 4 days off in a row! I cleaned a little house on Saturday and went to the scrapbook store to buy some stuff for my girlfriends wedding. I promised to make her a scrapbook as part of her present! Sunday, I was actually able to sit and weed a flower bed for about an hour but then I needed a nap! So, I took a nap and vegged in front of the idiot box! Monday was nice, we went to a friend of mines parents house. They live on a lake and we got to go on a boat ride and had a picnic. I even got a little sun so I don't look like Casper the ghost! I was wiped out on Tuesday so I took it easy, watched some tv and did some scrap booking. Boy, was it hard to get up this morning and come to work!
I think the steroids are giving me food cravings!! The gastritis I had seems to be getting better and I'm just STARVING all the time. I'm also premenstrual so I'm sure thats not helping! I'm trying to be good, I'm munching on some grapes as I type but I really want a Dairy Queen Blizzard!!  The new rheumy warned me the food cravings would happen once from the steroids. I'm just really trying to hold my weight. She said I wouldn't be able to lose any and would probably gain 5-10 pounds but I'm trying so hard to prove her wrong!
Will and I have discussed a bit about talking to a lawyer about all the medical stuff. I'm doing some research on line right now and the doctor I work for got me the name and number of a lawyer who works on contingency. That means I shouldn't have to pay anything unless I win, then they get a certain percentage. Really the only reason why I'm even considering it, is for money for an adoption. I'm usually against most law suits until its something really bad but I truly feel that the RE should have diagnosed this and if treated sooner, I'd be in a lot better condition. Now, I'm almost 36 and even IF we can get the RA under control, its still uncertain if I will be able to carry and now my age is against me as well. So, lots of things to think about!
How was your weekend??
