Getting better and better...

So, I was continuing to get weaker, but because I reduced my dose of steroids( I think, anyway) my strength is getting much better and even my tiredness isn't as bad. I was even sleeping pretty well at night, but that hasn't been happening lately.

I go back for another MRI in February, so we will see if it has been shrinking anymore. In January it had shrunk about 5%, so the dr said thats a step in the right direction. I am still going to PT and I don't know how well it's helping, but I'm still going.

Has it been so long?

Okay, so it's only been two years or so since I've written, but I think about it quite often and think, " you should write again", so here I am :-)

So much has happened since I wrote; I was getting SOOO much better, almost like I was back to my old self(for the 2nd time) ( that people couldn't tell and I could hide it anyway) THEN one afternoon I am driving home and realize I just passed a four-wheeler and didn't know it. Not just one, but I passed two! :-S I didn't know what to do. We saw my Nuero-opthamalogist and he discovered that I could not see out of the left sides of both of my eyes. Since about mid-summer(2011) I have been learning how to "see" again. ha A lot of times I have gotten to where I just go on about my business and forget it, that's all I can do, right?

In the last couple of months, my dr has started me on taking a bigger dose of steroids, (for swelling of the brain) that turned out to work incorrectly, so they decided to slowly pull me off of them. I still have A LOT of weakness on my left side (and even right side too sometimes), but the worst part is, they caused me to have major swelling, so I am unrecognizable;, I have headaches, I don't like to go anywhere because of the swelling and I don't want them to see me like this. BUT, I have faith in God and HE will get me through this, just like he has done in the past. We are going to make it through, I just keep telling myself that.
