I find the best way to start my day is to get out of bed! Usually I feel like "death warmed over," but once I'm up, get dressed, and drive to the corner to get my Coke Zero, I feel partially human. Then comes breakfast and my many, many medications.
Even though I hate the idea of taking medication (some that have serious side effects), they are keeping me relatively functional, keeping the pain to a minimum (sometimes), and making my life better. I am so grateful for great health insurance that keeps me "drugged up" and pays my many doctor bills. I don't know what my life would be like without it. I have been so blessed.
So, I guess this blog entry is what comes after a couple of bad weeks (because of flareups of sarcoidosis) of increased pain and with resultant lower level of function.
I am grateful to be through with the flareup for the most part and that I can "keep getting out of bed" each day!
