My knees are not happy about the weather at all I find that I get outside and my knees decide they don't want to bend! Not sure if it just the weather or the squats I've been doing or possibly my steroid drop.
I was kind of worried about how I was going to get into my aunts house for turkey day as my dad has been sick and stayed home. But my cousin, uncle and Jeff got me inside no problem! I'm so thankful for the people in my life that have been helping me through all this crap!
Dinner was fantastic as usual!
Turkey, potatoes, green bean casserole, corn casserole and my favorite sausage stuffing! I ate one too many servings and felt like I couldn't move but it was worth it! I was glad to be able to spend the holiday with some of my favorite people and a good time was had by all.
Just a lot of chatting, sequence and beer drinking. Coco always can crack me up!
Glad we are planning a trip up to Toby Keith's I love this bar and grill. I keep hearing how fun it is and my mom said she would go so hoping it's going to be awesome!
I was able to go up and down the step a few times when I had to head up for a bathroom break so I was happy about that. Although my knee was outta control I still managed with the help of mom and aunt carol and hopefully didn't scratch the floor up too much!
I wish that I had known earlier that my grandpa would be at uncle Mikes and we could have swung by but hopefully I will see him soon. I am a little worried how he will react to seeing me in this condition. I don't think people really know how bad it is until they see me and at this point this is me doing "better".
The other night aunt Cathy said to me "I hate seeing you like this, but I love seeing you" which made me feel really loved and happy. Seriously so grateful for all the people in my life <3
So Black Friday was pretty uneventful in the Finamore household.
With dad being sick we didn't do much.
Hung out most of the day on the couch watching Harry potter and doing online shopping.
I'm impressed that I have 3 people done now! Andrew and my mom are probably the hardest to shop for and I have them left on my list.
Jeff and I usually don't exchange gifts we just hang out together and drink beer which is what we have done the last 3 years and I like it that way.
The best part of the holidays for me is watching kids open their gifts! Ethan gets so excited I hope he likes what I got him this year!
Today is another lazy day in my book. I haven't gotten dressed yet but eventually I will make my way to the shower. My legs are beastly because I've been so afraid to shave them. Have you ever tried to shave something you can't feel? With a hand you can't feel? It's a scary adventure and since my immune system is compromised I am so paranoid about cutting myself. I wish I could wax them but I think it would be incredibly painful since my nerves are already standing on edge as it is!
Speaking of my nerves I keep wishing I could get tattooed, I even am dreaming about it. Sadly I will have to wait and hopefully by then I will have an amazing idea in my head of what I want.
I was reading in my Cidp group that they are trying to link auto immune disease to the flu shot vaccine. I'm not sure how true that is but that would be pretty crazy if something like this could have happened from a shot. People were commenting on the article saying they started getting symptoms 2 weeks after receiving the shot. That's scary in my opinion.
For me though I haven't had a flu shot in about 9 years! The last shot I had was a terrible tetanus shot but that was almost a year before any of this happened.
Doctors say it was from a bad virus and I did get really sick last year at Christmas and was sick with it for at least a month. Who knows tho I have stopped trying to figure it out and started just looking towards the future and getting better :)
It also made me sad reading in that group how many of the peoples friends and family don't even believe they are sick. Just because I don't look sick doesn't mean I'm not struggling. It makes me so grateful for the people in my life <3 xoxo
My stomach issues have appeared to calm down for the time being, now if only I could get the mucus to stay out of my face! I am living off sudafed and cough syrup. I'm hoping whatever my dad has skips right over me since I don't think I can handle another virus to fight off!
Looking forward to hanging out with Janine tomorrow like a bunch of teenagers in my room back here. It's so strange sleeping in my old room haha
Monday is usually another lazy day for me.
Tuesday I will actually leave my house for my Tuesday date with my ladies. I think we are branching out and heading to red robin this week. At least I hope so since after looking at the damn menu everything looks amazing especially a gingerbread shake!
Wednesday meeting up with Uncle Mike and aunt Cathy for some craft brews!
Saturday hanging out with Vanessa
I can't believe I've already been here over a month. It has been going by really gags but I am missing my babies terribly.
Also I can't believe I've been here a month and haven't been to coney! Haha I guess because I was terribly sick the day we had planned to go.
Well I guess since it is now almost 4 I probably should act like a normal person and shower and get dressed. Although I doubt I am going anywhere today either.
Sometimes I miss driving.
Hopefully on day soon my legs will start acting like legs again.
And that's pretty much all I've got for today.
