On a personal note...

There are so many things going on this week. I have been at the new house for a little over a week now and I love it, but I have been working my butt off. Most of you know I have some Auto-immune disease (NOT contageous). I have Crohn's, Celiac and Rhuematoid Arthritus. None of which are fun, but the idea behind an auto-immune is that it tricks your body to think your body is an infection and tries to attack and kill it. So basically your body tries to attack and kill itself! Crazy isn't it???  With those 3 Auto-Immunes (and a few other little things) I take a medication called Methotrexate.... it is Chemo.... but NOT for cancer. Or at least that is NOT why I take it. But if you know anything about Chemo it kills infections...etc. So my body is trying to kill itself, and then the Methotrexate tries to kill that and your white blood cells. So because it kills my white blood cells my body has a hard time fighting even the simplest infection. Most people come in contact with a cold and never get it. Well they are still a carrier of that cold... I catch them off of people who are even just carrying the cold. And when I get a more complex illness.... I REALLY get sick. I usually get more than one thing at a time.

          A few months ago I had shingles (which keep coming back) and Pnemonia and something else I can't remember what it was. I haven't mentioned why I have been not feeling well (other than the move and lack of sleep). I have Mono, for the 3rd time in my life. My design team usually knows when I am sick. I don't really put it out there when I am under the weather, because I don't want people to know and I don't want anyone to feel bad for me. The last time I had my shingles flair up, I had some issues with my legs falling asleep and hands going numb. The checked me for MS, because my brother has MS, it wasn't that (THANK GOODNESS) I was also having a memory issue, I have a pretty good memory and I had trouble remembering things that I had just said. My memory has gotten better, but I am still having some issues with the numb legs. I had an MRI and there is big section of grey stuff. So in the end they are not sure if it was damage from the shingles or if there was a loss of blood, basically they have a lot of ideas and no diagnosis. What fun right? So I had an appointment in July for the Neurologist and my husband told me the wrong dates for the trip to Utah.... I had 5 of my specialists appointments that week. So they have rescheduled them, December for the Neurologist and January for the Rheumatologist! CRAZY!!! I just want it figured out and get it fixed. GOOD NEWS it is nothing major or life threatening :) We have to look at the positive right!
         The way I look at it, My daughter is perfect and healthy, so in my mind I have what I do so hopefully Bella will never be sick. Every morning I wake up and thank God that I am alive and that Bella is healthy. Not to get really spiritual with all of you..... But I know God only gives you what you can handle (he OBVIOUSLY thinks I am much stronger than I think) But he knows what he is doing. Maybe someone I know wouldn't be able to handle it so he gave it to me instead. Again, as long as my little one is healthy I tell God to just pile it on me instead of her!  If you are a parent you know EXACTLY what I mean. ANYWAY..... I am off to get 500 things done before I go to pick Bella up from school in 4 hours!
