Where I've been...

Well...if I could summarize why I've been absent for the last year it would go like this:

Shortly after my last blog post my son managed to hit his head on a post at the swimming pool resulting in him needing 5 staples, after this we spent a week in Florida on "vacation," when we got back I started having some itching, hives, and skin sensitivity that basically sent me down the rabbit hole psychologically and somewhat physically. Because my doctors couldn't figure out what was causing this debilitating itching I was sent hither and yon for tests and, consultations and overall psychological trauma. It's hard to explain...but basically I've become a full blown hypochondriac in the midst of all of this. I spent so much time fearing the results of the tests and evaluations each given doctor was administering that I started to lose my perspective on my own body.

I could talk about the details of this journey but I'll leave that for later posts. Suffice it to say this last year has been really dark for me...in the last while I seem to be seeing rays of light...

I'm glad there's light in the tunnel now...even if it's not necessarily the end, just quite yet.

Today I found out that I get to have yet another round of testing - this time for an entirely new issue. You and I are quite the pair. I go to the doctor somewhat blissfully and then am surprised when they seem to be more concerned than I am...and there are all these options I had never even considered. I don't want to be too specific though because otherwise YOU start stressing about my health stuff, in addition to yours!!
