So here it is...Thursday...and I've been home ALL week again! When I went back to the doctor Tuesday morning he immediately sent me over to a specialist. I assumed the specialist would be Internal Med, but as we were sitting in the waiting room I realized he was Infectious Disease! (Insanity! Didn't even know ID Docs existed! What are they gonna do?? Throw me in a hazmat suit and ship me to the CDC?!?!) BUT anyways...This doc was GREAT! VERY VERY thorough...Asked both Matt & I tons of questions (and actually listened to us!), did a full physical exam and ordered tons of labs. He was very optimistic and reassured us that my body (and all it's parts) seem to be working just as they should, but there's something going on in there that it's fighting...He's running all the labs to look for all the not-so-common types of infections (West Nile, Ehrlichiosis, Lymes, RMSF) and even looking to rule out other things like RA & Lupus...SO! Tuesday's visit with this new doc was quite encouraging...Of course if results come back viral, there's nothing we can do but wait it out...And if it's bacterial that'll mean a round of antibiotics (particularly one that makes me pretty sick). So we'll see!! Most of the labs won't be back til early next week, so until then, here I am! Right here on my couch!!

On another front - The process of moving my parents. Now on hold! Unfortunately, at the very last minute, the buyer of their house backed out and since my parents can't buy the condo they were getting without their house being sold, they had to back out of the condo. The whole situation just makes me sick! We had been through so much looking for a place that would be right for them. The condo they had the contract on would have been great. It was a good layout and in a nice, small, secluded, shady area. So now we're basically back to square one! They're meeting with the realtor to list their house Saturday, but with the way the housing market is these days, chances are, the condo will be gone before their house sells...

Well, that's an update on my exciting life! Almost time to settle in for some quality "daytime" TV! (Maybe I can do something scrapbooking-related so I can say I'm not actually "watching" good ol' AMC & OLTL!!)
