benchiladaPeople have slowly been increasing their questions about how Sara's been doing again, so we figure it's time for another update.
Truth be told, she's still slowly getting worse. Pains that she only had in her right arm now occasionally travel to her left.
Going to a few stores wears out her legs and any time that she has to stand for very long she ends up having to find somewhere to sit.
She's been tested for everything from Lyme disease (three time) to Myasthenia Gravis to Sjogren's Syndrome and nothing has come back with any clues.
We've been figuring out ways to make things easier for her--i.e. baths instead of showers and once she gets on the couch for the night I am officially her bitch--and we've also been getting back into doing things that we've missed doing, like involved cooking and occasional trips out just to show that she can still do it.
It sucks, but she's not giving in to this garbage.
The big news that we've been holding back on is that she has an appointment with Internal Medicine at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, the week of October 22nd. Internal Medicine is the department where a bunch of people test you for a bunch of things before narrowing it down. It could take two days, it could take four, we don't know. We'll be up there as long as they need us to be.
So that's where we are right now.
My lovely wife Sara is fighting this shit, and she's going to win.
Love from us,
