Long Time No See...

I haven't written in quite some time. I don't have much going on. I'm working hard and studying hard. I haven't worked this hard at anything in my life, it seems. I'm making it, though. I dropped one class this semester. I just wasn't able to take four classes. Three is much more manageable. I'm doing well in all of them and feel as if I have some breathing room.

I've been nauseous again for about two months. They think it is my iron levels. It's always something. The Endo did test my cortisol levels and those are doing really really well. So I'm not on the hydrocortisone and don't need to be. I will still be monitored for Vit D levels and my iron. That's not too bad.

We are about to go on vacation to Puerto Rico. We leave next Saturday. I'm so excited!! We haven't been on vacation which didn't involve going to a hospital in 5 years. We deserve this. I don't even know if we will remember how to completely relax! (Well, except for the small amount of school I'll have to keep up with.)

I'm kind of nervous about going on vacation, though. Last time I went to Puerto Rico I walked a lot. I'm not sure I'll be able to do as much physically as I did before. I know I will just have to take things slower and not be hard on myself. This also means not taking my good camera. I will be missing it the whole time!!!! But I just can't haul it around while I'm trying to just breath and walk at the same time. I know it's better for me to make it and not be suffering than it is to have the best photos ever. I'll live without the photos. I'll just have to take some ordinary ones :)
