Three would be neat!

Didn't realize it had been a while since I had written. Life has been crazy and way too busy. School started a couple weeks ago and with the amount of activity required to get ready for that and some reoccurring back issues- I hadn't thought much about my writing. We still homeschool 3 of the kids, one wanted to branch out and try something different and is going to a private school. Can you say second job? So between carpooling now and many miles put on the vehicles, just feel like things are standing still on the health front, but honestly I think that is a good thing. I haven't thought about me much and I like that. I really do not even think about it until someone asks me about it. Must mean I am having some good weeks- it's all relative. I consider myself very healthy so that is that-I guess for now. Still disappointed I am not getting up and exercising- had such high hopes- but maybe tomorrow :). I haven't emailed the Dr about the sleep test, but it is required that I go see her to set one up- as I haven't been there in a while. I just haven't had the time or desire to go do that yet. I haven't even made a move to get more blood tests done as the good Dr. in Cinc. wanted. I came home from Ohio, put the binder in it's place and just got busy living and haven't looked back. I still get short of breath, dry cough, fatigue, and chest pain that comes and goes. Overall, doing well and glad of it. Not even sure I can relate to a lot of the LAM patients I hear about just because I feel I am doing so very well. I think I am becoming rebellious in the fact I do not want to take the Xarelto anymore because I have heard such bad things about it. I can not wait to get off of it and have missed a few doses and taken instead Ibuprofen (how I miss it!) for my back instead. Makes work go soooooo much better, not being in pain all the time from helping to move/lift 400+ pound patients! Yes, I know- stupid, but sometimes you have to help. I probably do need to get back on it- so will get it refilled and start today. I do have an appt coming up next month at Barnes with a rheumatologist the others wanted me to see. So off I go again. I think I am beginning to feel like going to these appts is a waste of time. I know the Lord gave me peace about it- so I guess I am wondering why I am still going through the motions of going to see them? Can anyone answer that?? ** Random topic- I saw the most beautiful vibrant double rainbow that I have truly ever seen. It appeared to be so close to me. I have just never seen one that close up. Hard to describe. The colors were almost milky and yet clear and transparent at the same time. So bright and yet soft. Just amazing. Frustrated that I was driving and had to try to keep my eyes on the road and not on the rainbow - the main one, that was the brightest. Then the thought came to me- I think I will add to my bucket list- to see a triple rainbow! Wouldn't that be neat? Wondering if anyone else thinks such random thoughts as I do? *** Enjoy your week, hope you have just enough rain and just enough sunshine to appreciate them both.
