Waiting.....

Saw my primary care physician this morning. Because I live in a rural area Dr. Hall is the one who coordinates all my medical care. Way above and beyond the normal coordination your average primary car physician does. In addition to referrals etc., she also directly oversees a lot of the treatments that would normally be done in a specialists office. Simply because I live so far away from the specialty centers (3 hour drive each way to UCLA MS Clinic). Thank goodness she's awesome. She detected a bit more weakness on the left side (I hadn't really noticed. Other than bumping my left ankle more when I get into the car, so now I'm often lifting the leg when I get in) and a change with color perception on the right eye. Otherwise, everything is good :) I'm now waiting to hear from the home health agency. The pharmacist already called me and told me that the home health agency has my meds and IV supplies (big freakin yipee). My husband took me out to eat after my appointment. I deliberately consumed a spicy mexican lunch (with extra Tabasco) as I know that once the steroid infusions start I'll have major heartburn and other wonderful GI problems. Which will require large amouns of Maalox. I'll be lucky if my stomach will tolerate soup for the next 5 days. Add that to the steroid induced feeding frenzy my body craves and massive heartburn is probably a blessing. Prevents me from consuming the food my body will want. I expect I'll be doing quite a bit of blogging over the next few days. Steroid induced insomnia at 3 in the morning tends to lead to more blogging. So now, I wait to hear from the home health nurse....wonder how many sticks to start the IV this time....
