Hey girl! I hope you are doing better when you get this. Have you gotten any update on your appt with the ra specialist? What about getting the steroids? Any update? Let me know how you are doing with all of that!!!
Another night of not sleeping. I am actually getting tired, so I suppose I will crash right about when I need to be up. We are having breakfast at Savannah's school today and then meeting with the teacher and then going to my dr appt and THEN stopping by my work to get my paycheck. Not much LOL!!
Had some exciting news today though! Savannah had gone shopping with my mom over the weekend (big surprise, I know) and at the mall near my parents' there was a bid karaoke (sp?) thing going on for kids. Savannah didn't really want to do it at first, but my mom told her she should, so they signed her up. Turns out it was Radio Disney doing it - which got Savannah excited - some kind of promo for Chicken Little. The 2 kids before my drama queen weren't very good - the first panicked and froze and the second just read the words from the karaoke machine - no singing. Well, then diva gets up there. Mom noticed then that they were videotaping the kids. Savannah was singing and dancing and getting into it big time. Mom was near the guy running it, and saw him give a thumbs up to one of the other people and tell them "this one is really good!". She got a coupon to see the movie and some other little things. As they were leaving, Mom noticed that it was actually a CONTEST. First prize for this level was a karaoke machine and some other stuff, and you get moved to nationals. Well, Mom got a call tonight - SAVANNAH WON!! She wasn't home when they called, so she passed the info to me, and hopefully I will talk to the guy today. She gets the karaoke machine and other prizes, and needs to go to a photo shoot! We are HOPING nationals mean that we have to actually GO somewhere instead of them just sending the tape, but either way - it is really exciting. I'll update you after I talk to the guy - left him a message tonight.
I'm not doing well. The pain is increasing more and more. My mom made the point that it COULD just be the nerves healing. One of her co-worker's daughter had a disease the wasted away a lot of her nerves and she had an incredible amount a pain when they healed back. My ear hurts, the side of my face hurts, my neck hurts, my shoulder hurts. Basically, everything from my chest up on the right side of my body is in pain. Fortunately, there isn't any new swelling or discharge, so I don't think there is any infection. I am just really tired of all of it. I KNEW that I would have some pain and discomfort healing, but never guessed it would be anything like this. Thankfully, I see the dr today. I honestly do NOT know how you handle all the pain you have been in lately. This would make me severely psychotic. It is really hard on Mike too, because he feels so helpless. I don't have much sympathy for him though, to be honest. He needs to get a job, it's ticking me off really bad this week.
Anyway, I am going to go and try and rest (cross my fingers). Hang in there, and let me know what is going on with you. Either way, I'll try and call tomorrow.
Love you!!!

Hey you...I'm so sorry you're in so much pain...I bet your mom is right about it being the nerves healing...that has GOT to be painful...I don't know how I deal with my pain...it sucks, plain and simple...I've almost gotten used to it, or so I think...then it gets worse...today is okay...not much pain today...inflammation still, but not as much pain...thank God...no, NOTHING from my GPs office about my appt with the RA doctor yet...I'm getting pissed...I'm calling them this morning at 8:00 when they open...
I so totally know what you mean about them needing to get a job...I am sick of it too...Eric worked the last two nights, but its not much cash...I like that he does everything around the house and brings in extra cash like that, but after the holidays are over, something is going to give. I hate it though, because this is his dream...he's sooo very talented at it too...maybe after the holidays business will pick up...it usually does...but we'll see...
That is sooo cool about Savannah! OMG! I would be VERY excited too...she IS quite the drama queen!!! But this time, its paid off...I would LOVE a karaoke machine, myself...
My son is fine...still a brat, but that always means he's good...he complains about EVERYTHING! I mean EVERYTHING!!! I hate to say it, but I can't wait until he's 18...3 more years...ugh...how will I ever make it through? LOL
Today is my last day at work this week...going to Mom's tomorrow (if Eric gets me the gas $$ tonight when he finishes his job!!) and cooking all day...then coming home...they're coming to my house on Thursday...and I think my brother and his family are coming too...at least they better...I haven't talked to them in ages though...it would be nice to see them...and it would make my mother very happy...so he better NOT mess this up...you know how that is though...
Well, keep me posted after the dr. appt. if you can...
Love you,
Keli
