September...

September arrived yesterday without a lot of fanfare.  The temperatures dropped a bit, and I'm loving it.  I'm still pretty much housebound, and that would be fine if I could just get my house clean and in order.  Seems like every project I begin gets stalled.  I either get distracted or too tired.  I'm really hoping the cooler weather will help kick my energy into high gear. 

I posted this on my FB page...
Doctor's office phoned and woke me a couple hours ago. She says, "Your results... Oh, hold on a minute." Waited, waited, waited. Comes back on, "I'll have to call you back." What?!
And, I am still waiting.  I am refusing to be anxious, but it does keep trying to creep up on me.  Like a scary movie, you don't know what's around the corner.  The spooky music is playing, getting a bit louder.  Here's hoping it's nothing.  Music fades, birds singing happily, all's right with the world.

UPDATE:

Shortly after writing this, I received my second phone call. I tested positive for PML, which means I am no longer a candidate to receive treatment with Tysabri for the Multiple Sclerosis.  Now we have to look at the pros and cons of Gilenya, a newer MS medication that's only been out for about a year.  This means more blood tests, eye tests, etc., and then approval from my insurance.  It will take a month or more.

So, not so much of birds singing happily. The music is still a little scary, and I do not know what is lurking around that next corner.  It's still an amazing world, I'm thankful to be living, and there is always hope.  I still have hope.
