Surviving LUPUS

I am not quite sure what is wrong with one of my printer right now. Yeah, I do have two. One is a three in one photo printer and the other one is a DeskJet. I rarely used the desk jet but the photo printer is always used especially for the project of my daughter in school. When I last used it, the colour of the print out came out of sync. Either it’s because of the ink or the laser printer cartridge is defective. Well, really I am clueless. The printer expert in the house is out of the country. Lol. Yes, my husband’s bread and butter are printers. One look at it and he will know what is wrong. We always joke that he breaths toner. Haha. But kidding aside I decided that it’s high time to buy one of the printer cartridges just in case. A spare always come in handy especially when the need arises. And also when the husband comes home he can fix. Good things, I found affordable ones at Printer-Cartridges.com. The site does not only sells cartridges but also toner refill. I wonder what the husband will say about since his expertise really lies on printers.

Nursing homes such like the Nursing Homes in Virginia are important. They are facilities that care for the elders and are considered home away from home. We all know that sometimes it is really inevitable that our elders have to spend their time on those kinds of facilities. So we make sure we choose the best of the best. Since we owe them what we are right now. And it’s also a way of giving back to the good deeds they have done for us.

As you can see I have been researching different ways to lessen the threat to my kidneys. Currently, according to my doctor, I respond well to the medicine that he prescribed me. But that does not prevent me from having edema. I am quite scared about it but instead of scrambling and just staying on one corner and cry I chose to fight by looking into different ways to help me live a healthy life.

I hope this phase would be over soon. And after it, I would still emerged as victorious. If that happens I would celebrates and make sure I will give a lot of save the date cards to family and friends. lol. But seriously, I am now in a tough situation. I have to monitor what I eat. Something am not really used to. I have to discipline myself or else I will suffer the consequences. Then, financially, it’s a tough battle also. Imagine, my medicine cost is PHp 705 per day. Yes, that much! Thank God my doctor said that the medication would only last for six months…hopefully. For now, I can only pray and hope. Pray that this would be over, pray that God would grant me a chance to grow older to be with my family and hope that LUPUS would somehow take pity on me and leave me alone. But I know this would depend on me also and my willingness to fight. I bow down my head and say ‘Thy will be done’.

If I only have a Canon camera on hand right now I would take a picture of my feet and knees. But unfortunately my digicam is out of battery ;(. It’s okay though. Really I am now bewildered by my edema. I thought at first it was cause by me drinking softdrinks and eating chips. Well, I think that’s a contributory factor. But last night I took a gamble of eating another pack of chips and I did not see my feet swell. Then just this morning I feel the pain in my foot. I guess that’s due to me not drinking medrol in the morning. I run out of it and have it just during the lunch time. Thank God I feel well already. To be on the safe side I am now avoiding eating salty food and just focused on veggies and fruits.

Work clothes such as uniform work shirts are very important. This is especially true for people who need extra care, just like me. When I am struggling with how I walk and how I move, or to put it simply, when I am feeling the pain of lupus, I sometimes look for people in uniform to help me out. Either through assisting me while walking or helping me carry the load that I am carrying. Uniforms are the distinguishing mark to tell you which individual to approach for your needs. So if you are just starting a business it is always an advantage to have business uniforms for your employees. Not only would it save money on the part of your employees, the uniformity and consistency of appearance also brings beauty and professionalism to the workplace. If possible, put your company name on the uniform because it will also serve as a form of walking advertisement, right? It would create an awareness that such business exists to serve the people in a good way. I would also recommend trying to get the products of iDbyLandau.com. They have a lot of uniforms to choose from. They have nice, comfortable, and not to mention, fashionable hotel uniforms for hotel employees and other kinds of clothing that you would be glad to wear everyday when reporting to work. Do try them and you won’t regret it.

I have been writing quite a number of articles about bullion and my desire to own some. Well, it’s always been a dream. Who would not want to have this kinds of investments right? Especially now that I don’t know what my future is. Being sick have made me think of what tomorrow would bring for me. With this thought I always make sure that I am prepared for anything as well as my daughter and husband. In fact, I have been researching what is the most effective way to make our hard earned income multiply. That’s how I end up browsing through the different pages of usgoldbureau.com. Nothing can beats learning from the expert!

I am feeling the lazy morning symptoms again of LUPUS. Well, actually it’s not only in the morning but the whole day. I am feeling kinda blue and I think depression is hitting me hard. I am trying to find a way to divert my attention and to cheer me up a bit. Unfortunately one thing that satisfy me is to eat, eat and eat. Which is bad because I am also don’t want to exercise. hmmm. What now? Well, I think I would visit my favorite saloon for some pampering. I am contemplating on trying the eyebrow waxing but I am not yet 100% sold. haha. I don’t know how it will affect my appearance.

I am feeling guilty that I am so lazy to exercise. It’s because of my period and the laziness that is a symptom of LUPUS. I let both win over me. So today instead of riding a tricycle to meet some mommy friends to get the costume I am borrowing for Anevay I walked. And the long walk did me some good. And I was also able to get costume not only for the little girl but for a boy classmate as well. And so everyone has finally have costumes. According to another mom, our next problem would be the Halloween costume. haha. And now we are all anticipating the Halloween invitations we will be receiving and the fun fare that would follow. Ah, being a preschool mom is a bit stressing but rewarding as well. I just hope that for the whole school year, this mom would be healthy enough to be always active in the activities.

You know it’s always been my dream to enroll myself into a second degree or get my MBA. Unfortunately, when I graduated from college life got busy and I was so keen in climbing the corporate ladder that I forgot my goal of going back to school. Then I got sick. As much as I wanted to study again I decided that I can’t bear the stress so once again that dream was shoved in the back seat. Now, with the little girl entering big school next year I am thinking that it’s the right time to think of that second degree. I am excited with that prospect. That’s why as early as now I am starting to research online degrees. That way I know what I want and would discuss it with the husband.
