More snow...

Blah! I hate snow. Mostly because most work days my drive into work is an hour of back country roads and highways with crazy french drivers. (not that I don't love the french but they drive like they talk!) So when I get up in the morning and there is snow on the ground forgive me for not feeling excited.

Normally Id be at the barn at this time of night but I decided to stay home due to, you guessed it, snow. However the new drugs that the doctor gave me on Friday seem to be working. I have allot more energy and managed to go to bed (and get to sleep) before 10pm all weekend. I even managed to be in bed and ready to turn out the light by 9pm last night!!! I know it sounds early but I get up at 5:30am and up until Aug I always got 7-8 hours a night. The past 2 months there have been some 1am nights and its really tough to get up in only 4.5 hours.

I saw both the RA and hormone doctors on Friday. Not much new from the RA doctor. She wants us to wait until Jan before we decide to do anything else but shes encouraged by decent blood tests results. The hormone Dr thinks that I should start some small amounts of thyroid hormone. She was pleased that she could no longer feel the lump, and its no longer producing excess hormone but the rest of my thyroid hasn't caught up to regular production. Another reason why I'm feeling out of sorts and low on energy.

I personaly love how she wants me to lose weight, 'oh just walk extra, or lift weights' Yeah my somewhat fused ankle and fused wrists would love for me to do that. If only it was that easy.

I hate snow too!! Are you getting a lot of snow or just a little? I keep forgetting it's late November and it's about that time.

I'm glad you're feeling better. Getting the proper amount of rest can make a huge difference.
