@loribmt. Hey Lori! So happy to read your joyous post with all those super numbers!! Happy dances all 'round. Yaaay! You are so brave to have gone through all that you have, and glory be, to have that wonderful man at your side ( or behind your wheelchair) for all those years. You deserve no less. He's a lucky man.
I'm still in the hospital, recovering from my Myocardial Ischemic Heart Attack. My numbers aren't yet behaving as well as yours yet. Plus my IBS, my GCA, etc. Good care here though, and the nurses and staff are wonderful. My "team" have scheduled a big meeting for Tuesday a.m. to plan what in the world to do with me, where to put me, etc. I'm feeling somewhat like a homeless person just now, but I also look upon it as an adventure to be lived through with great interest and curiosity. My family are wonderfully supportive and caring. Hugs. Laur

@artist01 Good morning, Laurie! Somehow I didn’t see this message yesterday! Thank you, yes there were some happy dances. If I could still do cartwheels without irreparable damage, I’d be flopping around all over! Not that we were expecting anything untoward but until the biopsy and blood results come back of course there’s always that bit of anxiety. Mostly for my poor husband. Not sure how, but over the years I’ve developed incredibly good coping skills and, for better or worse, tend to compartmentalize everything. That way I only allow myself concern over what is happening that needs immediate attention. Maybe it’s more like being an ostrich with my head in the sand. Either way, it works and I sleep like a log nightly. LOL
Back to you, little lady! Sigh… Well, gosh, I love your attitude too! You are able to roll with the punches and I’m so proud of you for that. Always looking on life as one adventure after another keeps us sharp and more adaptable I think. I always joke about my bone marrow transplant and what is required…a sense of adventure and a sense of humor!
Will you be in that meeting on Tuesday when all these decisions about YOU are being considered? I’m not too worried because it does sound as though you are getting incredibly personalized care and you have your family to support and step in if there’s anything NOT in your best interest. Wherever you go, I know you’ll be the bright spot and will help lift the spirits of everyone around you. It just has to be so hard for you these next few days not knowing where, what…but in the meantime you’re in a safe environment and receiving the special attention you deserve. I hope that you are finally getting some relief to get healthy from your other symptoms.
