On our way home from bringing a meal over to Nichole's house last night, one that is every parent's nightmare and every child's delight - pizza and chocolate chip cookies! - I told Sam about my day. Keep in mind that Nichole shared with us that lumps on her thyroid were cancerous but her lymph nodes were clear - no chemo or radiation. They had got it all.
When I bent over to pick up Annie's poo yesterday morning, I could barely do it. I was feeling as bad as I had felt a month ago and I knew something wasn't right. I came home and sent a MyChart message to my doctor and within an hour I had his response.
I've had a set back with my polymyalgial rheumatica. That's all. Just a set back. For that I am thankful. Like I said to Sam, it's not cancer. I'm not dying. I just hurt.
I'm back up to 15 mg of Prednisone. I'm scheduled for a bone density test next week - Prednisone can destroy calcium. I have blood work the first of June. I see my doctor the second week. In between awards night, baccalaureate, graduation, college visits, and work - I am thankful, that while it is painful, it is only a set back. In His time . . .
