Vacation Does the Mind Good

I guess you could say my little vacation did me some good. I feel a bit better but I also upped my steroids again and can function a bit better. I'm staying up until I get a doc who knows what they are doing. I met with my primary care yesterday, the one who diagnosed me, and she agrees that my adrenals are not working well. We are running a bunch of tests since my blood pressure meds need to be changed and it appears I have osteoporosis from the cortisol problems. She promises to have my results before my new endo appointment next week. She's the best!

Anyway, my vacation was nice and I'm so tired from it. i really pushed myself to enjoy it and was happy to get away from my apartment. I haven't gotten out of town since Christmas. Wow, that's a long time to sit around waiting to get out. We went wine tasting and for a boat cruise and ate dinner on a lake...all very relaxing and not too strenuous for the average man or woman. Now I just need to rest some to I get my strength back.

I'm starting to work with a few friends to raise awareness for Cushing's and the Foundation. Hopefully we make this easier on others. It feels good to get back some part of my life and be able to do something for others. I am also trying to get things ready so that I can go back to work in a couple of months - not that I have a job. But either way I need to get some freelance work or a real job by January so I can pay the bills. Living on social security doesn't cut it!

Regardless I need to think about the future. Right now I plan a little something to get me there each day but I know it's painfully slow...but every little bit counts right? Besides helping others helps me feel better and think about how lucky I am to have been through surgery. I guess I'll keep plodding along!
