Talk Jedi to me.
A woman once told me to put a fork in my bra so as to have quick access to it in order to stab men who try to touch me inappropriately.
So now I keep a fork in my bra at all times.
1) GOOD: I’ve been getting better sleep since I’ve been on that Parkinson’s med. It’s been awesome to get to work before 7am like I used to and to not being beyond exhausted all day long. I’m still only getting less than 4 hours a night, but it feels so much better. Even my migraines have decreased to less than 3 a week, which is fucking fantastic for me.
2) BAD: The symptoms of my neurological disorder are getting much, much worse. I’ve woken up every morning this week crying from the pain and I can’t really control my movements anymore, I’m always shaking. And my memory is shot to hell. It’s getting really bad actually. But, I have a therapy session on Tuesday and a consult for treatments on Wednesday and Thursday.
3) GOOD: My boss pulled me aside yesterday to ask me how I was doing and he was surprised when I told him about my symptoms getting worse because he said it’s not showing in my job performance, which I’m very relieved about. He also said that I should be expecting a promotion soon.. :)
4) BAD: I went to the dermatologist today b/c I found these weird marks on my scalp, which turned out to be normal. So the doc gave me an whole body exam and she found several signs of what will eventually be melanoma. I go back to her in 2 months for a biopsy. While I’m irritated about it b/c I stay out of the sun and put sunscreen with SPF 80 on every 15 minutes, I am happy that it was caught early and hopefully won’t be a bigger problem.
5) GOOD: I get to see my siblings and nephew in less than 2 weeks :).
6) BAD: I’m considering putting off school for a few months until I get settled with all the treatments and start feeling better. It’s for the best, because I am not doing well in my courses, I can’t keep up with the workload between work, doctor appointments, migraines, memory problems, severe pain for 80% of each day and everything else. I’ll start back up as soon as I start feeling better.
So, overall, I’m ok.. I’m just getting worn out, it’s becoming too much to handle. But I’m ok. I just need some good things to happen soon, that’s all.
How are all of you? I’ll catch up on my dashboard later.
