Holy Moly it has been FOREVER since I last posted. And looky! ITS MY 100 POST!!
Not that I forgot about blogging, its just that life has been insane the last month or so....so on that note here goes...
I started working! Part-time, but I'm working! I work a few hours a day for a couple days a week. I have my good and bad days with it, but the company that I am with is understanding thank goodness! I love being back to work, and thinking back on this time last year, this felt like a hopeless dream. I never thought I would have been able to get back to work. Last summer was miserable!
I push through most days, and the bad days I have to lay low. Those days usually fall around days where big storms are coming through, which here in VA seems like a lot.
I'm driving again! I drive almost everywhere, again except for bad days. I drive to and from work, also taking my husband to and from work. I can do grocery shopping on my own now and I don't feel as trapped anymore.
I haven't made any strides with filing for disability. Seems my case has been put on a stand still because there has been no activity with it for months. Even though I am working, I'm noting working fully and I have to miss a lot for those bad days. If I wasn't with the company I am with, I highly doubt I would be working at all. So, I'll keep pursuing it until I get some answers. Its frustrating, but I need to do it.
Looking back a year ago, so much has changed and I feel so much better nowadays. I'm not in full remission. I still rock every day, its just a matter of how much movement is going on. My biggest thing is the ear pressure that I get....IT KILLS!
My kids are doing awesome and having a great summer so far. Lily is officially starting Kindergarten in the fall and Seth with be a 3rd grader. Can't believe how time has just flown by so fast for them. They are both active in scouts. Seth went to Boy Scout camp early this summer and learned how to do archery and BB shooting along with some basic swimming, sports and building. He built this awesome tool box. He also just participated in the Rain Gutter Regatta and had a blast making his boat with his dad. Both kids went to vacation bible school as well and met a ton of new friends.
I still get to keep my niece Keeleigh on Wednesdays and the three kids have a blast together playing.
All-in-all, I'm surviving. My family is surviving. We are taking it day by day, but that's what you have to do in my situation.
Hope everyone else is enjoying their summers! Talk to soon!
