Since I have been off the antibiotics I have been feeling relatively good. The first couple days after I got home I was still getting winded easily. A couple days ago though I have been noticing an increase in my energy. I am doing my best to keep myself as active as possible without over doing it. It feels great to be able to do things. Today I even had energy to do some cleaning in the second bedroom. We still have a few boxes that we never unpacked so I decided to tackle some of that while I had the ambition. lol Hopefully this lasts for a little while.
Doctors and medications have been my normal since I was born. My whole life I have been faced with challenges and have had to constantly adapt to them. I don't know anything different. This does not slow me down and I continue to go through my life with a positive outlook. I have a supportive family, irreplaceable friends and my amazing other half, Jason. Between them and my determined personality I am ready to take on anything that comes my way.

The Other Side of This Life
On September 29th I had my orientation with Roswell and then went back into the hospital for IV meds right after. I was having a very hard time breathing and needing oxygen all day long. Even with the oxygen on I couldn't walk ten feet without becoming winded. Thankfully I was able to get through the orientation and that went good. There was about twenty of us and we all sat through a slide show and learned what was expected of us as volunteers. We were all given a health assessment that we had to fill out. One of the things on the list was getting two PPD's. I had one done earlier in September so all I had to do was get one more and have my doctor fill out the form.
