I Never knew I had limits!
Last week, the nurse from Dr. Hunter's office called to check on me, when I explained to her that I had been in a lot of pain, she said that is GOOD! She said that means that the steroids have moved the inflamation out of my spinal cord, but that it goes to other places in my body, so it did its job. I am still waiting to get my injectable medication, it takes a little longer due to the mail order pharmacy. In the mean time, they have adjusted everything else that I take to help with my discomfort. This weekend, Aaron and I threw a little family birthday party for our youngest son Logan who turned 9. We had both of our parents and a few others. We worked all morning on Sunday preparing for the party and then partied until about 4:30 p.m. After we took Logan back to his mom Sunday evening, we realized that I had hardly sat down all day. Normally that wouldn't have been any big deal, but after the party was over and everyone was gone, I felt like I could have dropped. I have always functioned at a maximum level, but after yesterday, I realized that my body isn't going to let me anymore and I have to listen! This is going to be a learning experience for all of us, especially me. I am thankful for the great week and weekend I had this past week. I felt good most days and I feel like I am doing a really good job getting through my school days. I can only hope it continues! Thanks for all of your prayers, I feel them working everyday.

Megan, I know you are a strong person, you always have been and you will continue to be strong. You just have to take time for yourself and don't feel guilty about sitting down and taking a break when you need it. Keep up your spirits. Love you and thinking of you often.
