Well it is now August 2014 and it has been well over a year since my journey with Cushing's Disease has begun. Many people have asked how I have been feeling and I am very appreciative of all those who care. I am doing very well!! My recovery has been extremely long but I am doing much better and able to do most of what I was doing before my Cortisone breakdown occurred. I still do not have any answers and no one can tell me (who/what/where/when/or why) this has all happened but I have learned that I am very much a human with human aches and pains! I wish that I could say that I was a fighter through all of this but I'm not really sure what I'm fighting against. I have truly learned what the word appreciate and thankful mean. I appreciate those around me who have helped me out in so many ways. Even ways in which you think are not helpful can be more helpful than you realize yourself. (Does that make sense?) I love my job and all the kiddos I work with but it is very hard doing what I do when you are not yourself. It has only been a week since the school year has started and I have had several people mention that I am back to my bubbly old self. Well when your now able to run up and down the stairs (one at a time) without pain in your feet or legs, it makes a huge difference in your attitude and especially your strength. The one symptom that has taken the longest and I'm still working a little bit more on is the regaining of my strength. It amazes me how, when a person is in pain (either physical or emotional), it can wipe a person out!
