today was jes' first football game of the season. and with a cool breeze and an avg. temp. of 70 degrees for the day, it really felt like fall.
so today has been really nice- especially compared to yesterday. it was a long day at duke. what should have been a quick CT scan turned into almost four hours in the office. most of that time was various nurses doing their best to start an IV in my small veins. six attempts. and they ended up giving up, doing the CT without IV contrast... oh well. :)
i gave myself another dose of my miracle drug, humira, last night. it's actually something i look forward to, especially since i'm able to give it to myself without much timidity. ;) now i have a glimpse of what diabetics deal with EVERY day, not just every other week...
my other miracle drug, prednisone, is definitely proving to be a blessing and a curse. i started out taking 40mg after being in the hospital and have been slowly tapering since then. 40 mg gave me serious insomnia, mood swings(good AND bad ones) increased appetite, and a lovely moon face among other side effects. what's a moon face, you ask? well, think chipmunk cheeks.
needless to say, that last one makes me completely insecure. as in- i'd rather noone see me until it goes away. maybe next month i'll be social again!
okay. enough of that.
tomorrow:
- Dolphins vs. Cowboys (go miami!)
- season finale of hgtv's design star
- la iglesia
