Hi all,
Just wanted to share my week with you! I'm so excited about it:)
I wore pants 3 times this past week!! (I hadn't been able to wear anything but sweats, loose dresses & skirts since last August) - Still waiting on the jeans, need to lose 5 or 6 pounds to make them loose enough, but soon!!
I had such normal days! Went to work every day. One day took a 40 min walk after work, another day went to a 60 min. yoga class, another day did a small (1 hour) volunteer project @ church.
Best of all - last night I went to the movies with friends, watched the whole movie, then my best friend (who is a doctor & looked up IC when I got sick so she'd understand it) smoothly suggested a restaurant for us that I could eat at & didn't make me feel bad about it. It was a perfect evening!
And today, I washed my car, grocery shopped, packed a care package for a family member serving in Iraq, and wrote to you all! I love normal days!!
(Crazy thing is: no new treatment or anything I can specifically pinpoint to cause this... Just sticking to my usual course - fanatical adherance to diet, Elavil-10mg, Ditropan-5mg @night, Yasmin). But, whatever it is, I'm grateful for it.
Just wanted to post this because I was so sick last Fall I thought I'd never get my life back. I still want to do a lot of things I can't, but this is really good for now!!!
:woohoo:
I feel like myself for the first time in a long time -I was worried I never would again...
