It's so nice to do my 'normal' things like play with my kids and take them to the park, run (even though it's a really really really slow run), go to church, visit family, and run some errands.
I feel like I have more energy, but I still get worn out easily. Naps are my friend. The dry mouth is still there and strong. I'm still hot flashin like crazy--but at least the weather is getting cooler! I have really bad swelling in my hands and feet and I have gained a lot of weight.
I'm almost off all of my meds! yippee! I still take something to help me sleep and take the anxiety away, but hopefully I won't have to do that for forever.
I have to remind myself (especially when exercising) to be patient. I need to let my body heal and work up to it.
It's nice to see that my kids are -still crazy- but better emotionally. Sadie is okay to leave me on occasion and she seems to be in better spirits. I hoped and prayed that this would be a learning and a character building experience for her.
But really, Life is so good. God is good. I'm in such a good place right now. It's crazy to see that I really was in a hard place for a long time (even before my diagnosis) and to see where I have gone. Going through something hard can really make you see and be thankful for all the little things in life.
Here is a hair update-- It's coming in a lot thicker and coarser. I'm not sure if it's darker because I always bleached it!
