I am trying to Updating my Blog and Finishing the Books I’ve been working on.
It has taken a while for me to get back into the habit of writing.
I have had so many issues with Rheumatoid Arthritis in my hands I have been struggling as to whether to begin dictating my writing rather than typing myself.
I recall not long ago when I actually wrote everything out long hand in ”journals”; which turned into what I transferred on the computer and thus became my books. Much like “Stevie Nicks” who most know is my idol; she continues to write daily in journals of which some turn into songs.
It’s been a long journey to get back to this place. Between doctor's appointments, finally getting a new Rheumatologist who is out of town about 25 minutes away, beginning new medications, and I found “lumps” in the bends of my legs at the hip. I found out I have “inguinal lymphadenopathy”. I had an appointment with my PCP who told me what they were. He said most of the time they come from an infection somewhere in the body. The issue was I had no signs of an infection. He put me on an antibiotic for 7 days. It was at the holidays; so I waited to send him a message after the New Year.
Rather than try another antibiotic, he is referring me to a hematologist. Now the weather has gotten terrible. We are in 30-degree temperatures and the wind chill at 2 degrees this morning. It is supposed to continue for another 7 to 10 days and possibly get worse. Snow/rain is in the forecast for the next few days. There is no way I am driving even 15 miles in snow or possibly black ice on the highway. I may call and see how long it takes to get in to see him. I can also set the appointment for after this weather gets back to somewhat normal in the 50's or so.
My HOPE each of you are doing well. I pray this is a better year for many.
