I am in an incredible mood!
Maybe it's lack of sleep, drugs, the fresh air I duno but something has me feeling good!
Today is the day for lovers! I personally like to tell Andrew each day that I love him but figured id be overly cheesy today since well that's what this holiday is about right?
I made him a card which I found to be fantastic! But I am probably a bit biased as well I crafted it myself!
I also ordered him a little something which seems to be lost somewhere between the office and here since it shows delivered.
Anyhow I just wanted to take a minute to be serious and just say that I know we have had a rough year but I appreciate everything you do for me on a daily basis! One day at a time and hopefully things will just keep getting better and easier. I love you so much happy valentines day!
Ok I hope that wasn't too cheesy but now back to my regular scheduled programming!
So insomnia (sung to the tune of Daria by cake) has been pretty crazy this past week! This morning I think I finally clonked out about 7am? Thank goodness for friends in different time zones to keep me entertained while I'm browsing Instagram hashtags like #cidp #sickpeopleproblems etc. I have met a few interesting people this way though so I'm guna keep on creeping.
I woke up at 9:30 when Andrew got up for work, because for some reason I decided to take my pills before passing out including my water pill and well drank a whole bottle of water. Not smart considering you all know I have the bladder of a small child!
And now I feel like I have more energy than I know what to do with it! Stupid prednisone, I could really use a nap.
The back of my left calf is feeling a bit stabby and I'm not entirely sure what the deal is with that. Perhaps it may be a good thing or nothing!
I have noticed that I have been able to move my baby toes again. However I used to be able to like put them on top of the other toe without touching them and thanks not happening yet. So definitely still working on those nerves still.
I also used to be able to do the Star Trek live long and prosper with my hands and that now looks like this:
My fingers are all hyperextended or whatever it's called and they never used to be like that either and well my pinkey just does what it wants mostly! I am hoping once I come off the ROIDS my constant swollen hand feeling will stop.
So I just finished 12 laps between rooms. Last Friday it was 10 laps so getting better! My knees feel kinda weird today though it's hard to explain but maybe is cuz the muscles in my legs are actually starting to work now ? Hard to say! It also could be because they are still sore from my epic 20 minute stand on Wednesday, but who really knows.
Boy I am sure glad I actually did my hair! Look at this sweaty beast:
12 laps is seriously equivalent to what an hour on the treadmill used to do for me! So crazy! But I will get there! I swear just takes some determination and a positive attitude. And lots of rest! I feel like I need a lot of rest dealing with this disease, I guess the body healing needs it.
My PT calls this training for the marathon, the marathon being getting around without my wheelchair.
I'm excited to see what my times will be next Wednesday at PT on the treadmill. I'm hoping this time I can get into the harness without needing a sitting break and that I can surpass my times as well. Nothing like being competitive with yourself!
So another first for today, I was able to get into my drawer in the bathroom and get out my Bobbi pins without losing my balance and toppling over! VICTORY
If I could do a happy dance I would have done it right then! Toast has actually been really good today. I'm not sure if she's tired or it's just because we spent some time in the other room or what. I am enjoying it though!
I'm also enjoying this amazing breeze coming in from the window.
It was nice to "sleep" with the window open and the fan on. Toasty did not appreciate it. She went to lay at the end of the bed and the fan was blowing so she came up and cried in Andy's face lol! I had to move her blanket up and then she cuddled with Andy and went to bed. So funny how fickle animals can be sometimes!
I'm just waiting for Andrew to get home from work so we can partake in cheap Mexican food and renting a movie! Sounds like the perfect valentines day to me :)
Not too much planned for the weekend besides maybe a Sunday Lunch date again.
Tomorrow Andrew may head to ikea but I think I will just get in the way so I will probably stay home and work on preparing our turkey feast!
I was on their website the other day looking at chaise lounges for possibly our main floor so we can relax a bit more. We shall see though!
I'm excited he has Monday off too! Too bad he has a meeting during the day though.
My body is crashing....
Until next time xoxo
