Since my Aunt went into the hospital before Christmas, I’ve pretty much been doing just enough to get by and not really building my business. I have so much to do that it is a bit scary. I keep saying that tomorrow I will feel better and get back into the swing of things, but so far that day hasn’t come.

Yes I’ve been blogging and writing reviews, as well as doing giveaways, but I need to do things like work on my new website, work on social networking more, and take my blogs to the next level. My energy level is so low that I can’t even think straight so doing these kind of things takes me more energy than normal.

Tomorrow I plan on taking some baby steps. I want to break down all the big steps into smaller ones and then prioritize them. This way I can do at least one thing each day. I know I will feel better emotionally and maybe it will get me on the road to physical recovery quicker too.

Me, the person who loves to eat, who is working on eating healthy, who got upset because I ate a cheeseburger and fries last week, hasn’t had an appetite for the last few days. I have to force myself to eat a few slices of bread or a cup of soup so I can take my meds.

I think I have some kind of stomach bug and feel sick to my stomach. So besides feeling sleepy all the time, I’m not eating. My Mom always worries about me when I don’t feel well but when she knows I can’t eat she really worries. It’s been like that since I was a kid. Even Hubby worries more. I guess they’re so used to me stuffing my face that seeing me not eat scares them.

Hubby was so worried that he wants me to drink Gatorade. He even said he was going to look at buying some diet supplements today. It’s only been a few days. I think they’re overreacting!

Thank goodness for my husband. He can remember phone numbers, addresses and dates too. I haven’t been feeling well at all lately. I’ve been through low Potassium, a virus, a flare up and then found out I’m going through “The Change”. But I still feel sick.

My husband has been trying to figure out what is going on. He realized that it’s been more than six months since I’ve seen my neurologist who takes care of the Myasthenia Gravis. Sure enough when I called the doctor’s office yesterday, I found it was 8 months. Right after that call, I got a call from the MDA (Muscular Dystrophy Association) whose clinic I attend. They made an appointment for me for the next clinic on February 4th.

I know that I’ll get some answers as to why I’m not feeling up to par when I see my neuro as I believe the MG symptoms are getting worse. I can’t believe that I’m writing this, but I can’t wait to go to the doctor. I’ll be sure that my next appointment is on time too.

And so Peanut went back to school today. After much complaining on her part, the day went well. She woke up on time and although she was far from pleased she got herself ready for school and off we went. It was an odd feeling having the house to myself today. I’ve been used to having her home, my In-Laws here and other family visiting for the recent weeks.

So did I do anything constructive? Not a bit! Instead of using the time I needed to get some blogging done, to work on some more of my Aunt’s Medicare paperwork, to pay bills, to put away some Christmas decorations, I slept.

I really needed it though. I have to call the nephrologist to see about getting my potassium levels checked more often. After my low potassium scare recently and my medication increase nothing else was done.

I did make some phone calls to get my prescriptions in order and to set up some other doctor appointments. So all was not lost. It was just another day but things will get back to normal for me very soon.
