Today was a good day

Since my last blog post. I have been experiencing very blurry vision and extreme tiredness to the point where I could not make my 1 hour drive to work and called off friday and tuesday. Also hate to mention gained 10 pounds. Afraid the symptoms were as a result in a increase to my blood sugar I visited my primary doctor and he suggested cutting my pill in half until I see my doctor tuesday. So happy I went to go see him because my symptoms disappeared. Vision normal. Not tired. I do indeed think the worst is over. Hopefully I have stabilized and no more meds will be needed.
I am so thankful. This upcoming week is very significant for me. 7/4/05 I was beginning to unravel. I still remember the days events pretty clearly. My husband made homemade pizza with my daughter we enjoyed fireworks @ packard park. But things got worse as the days continued and on 7/10/05 I went to the emergency room and I was hospitalized for 5 days.
My birthday is 7/11 but honestly a diagnosis an answer to what was wrong the best birthday present I could have ever gotten.
If I had not paid attention to the symptoms that prompted a change in meds I may have spent another birthday in the hospital. Instead I am happy, smiling on the inside, enjoying the holiday, enjoying my daughter. Enjoyed a sleepover with a bunch of awesome girls. Went to a health food store with my daughter. Made a healthy lunch. Awesome.
Just knowing I am going to be okay makes me smile. Knowing that I have a doctor that listens to me, keeps any concern at bay because he has worked with me for years keeping me well. Enabling me to graduate college (something I attempted several times before my diagnosis) with honors. Get a
job. Now helping me keep that job by keeping me well.

Our partnership will allow me too move on to the next goals in my life -black belt. And my first mini goal for that is to practice running.

Well happy fourth!
