Well, finally the holidays are over and I survived...barely.
December was a crazy month.
Finally got the ability to paint once again (yes, I'm an artist of sorts). Lots of rushing to get special gifts for christmas done. Enjoyed watching my nephews and family open their gifts. Of course no holiday is complete without a little family drama (yes, there was quite a bit).
But I haven't stopped painting either. I have found that it keeps my mind busy and concentrating on just one thing as oppose to my thoughts being scattered by the MG and my impending thymectomy surgery at the end of February.
Can't say I am looking forward to it.... another surgery. To be honest, I am scared S**tless. Four to six hour procedure... uhh, yeah, woo hoo (insert sarcasm here). I have heard some horror stories about other MG patients experiences. At least I know what to look forward to and I am not taken off guard thinking the Doc f'ed up somewhere (yeah, that would be my first reaction). Lots of thoughts (good and bad) and constant, crazy dreams....
Did I mention my sleep has been off-kilter for the past 2 weeks or so?? Yep, sure is. No matter what time I go to sleep or what day of the week it is, I am getting up earlier and earlier. When it started I could handle the 5am wake-ups...then it jumped to 4 am...as of yesterday and today I am now up to 3 am-ish. RIDICULOUS! And once I stop keeping busy in the evenings or just relaxing after work? Forget it! I am lucky if I make it to 8pm before Mr. Sandman comes and screws me over out of nowhere!
Here's hoping this sleep-craziness stops....SOON!
