To be human again!

Yesterday was a bit of a stressful day.  I was going to wake up early and go to aqua zumba, but that didn’t happen.  I did get up in time for my rheumy appointment.  I got there with plenty of time got weighed in (weight was up a smidge), blood pressure checked, blah, blah, blah.  Doc came in and he said the past month confirmed my lupus diagnosis.  He is keeping my prednisone the same because it does seem to be helping a smidge.  He wants to put me on a new medicine, Benlysta infusion.  I am not sure how I feel about it at this point in time, but I am definitely doing my homework on it because if there is even a small chance of giving me back a normal life I am all for it! I guess the next hurdle would be insurance covering it.

I didn’t make it to the pool yesterday, after the doctor appointment I went grocery shopping with my mom and they took rest of my energy. Today, on the other hand, I made it nice and early.  I love the walk 5/swim 5 routine I have.  I think I pushed my swimming a little harder than I should have but for a whole five minutes after getting out of the pool I didn’t hurt, I actually felt human again! I did a total of 75 laps when all was said and done. I am still hoping to make it to a yoga class in the near future, but I am not going to push my luck.
