This week has, like many of the recent ones, been filled with high highs and a few remarkable lows. For the most part, my spirits are really high. I've spent so much time with friends and family that it makes it hard to not feel good. Nevertheless, being in the city this week for an intersession class means that I've done lots of walking, which translates into pain. :/ The first few days of steroids made my hips feel really good, but they don't seem to be working now that my dosage is not as strong. In addition, the most recent finding is that I do not have inflammation of the sacrum / sacral joint. So, in many ways, I'm back to where I started this break, but, in many ways, things have changed. I've taken the time to stop and enjoy the moment, to live despite the pain that plagues me day in and day out. My friend RG tonight put it best when he said, "You just seem at peace with yourself and with life." As much as I hope that one day this condition will be fully treated or just disappear on its own, I also feel that this experience has taught me a lot about myself and helped me to appreciate the little things. For the moment, I remain optimistic that someone can figure out what is actually going on with me, but, until then, I'll just try to keep my head up and wait for the day...
Besito,
A
