We’ve reached single digits on my countdown to home! NINE DAYS TO GO! Please rejoice with me, because this is huge. We are so close to finishing up our induction phase.

I promise you I will be celebrating every single phase, and every glorious blessing in between phases. Each day is leading me to a new tomorrow. And tomorrow my friends is a beautiful place.

Symptomatic

One of medications I’m taking are steroids. High dosages of steroids. They are necessary, but come with side effects. I’ve been truly blessed and not had many side effects. Thank you Jesus! However, I did notice a slight stiffness in my knee developing over the past week or so. Nothing that was painful or kept me from moving. However, today I began to develop some swelling and tenderness. Please say a prayer that I’m able to manage with minimal to no interventions.

TMI x2

My breast issue remains unchanged. Please keep praying that it resolves. Soon!

My cycle has not started, which means I’m a few days late. While I’m not surprised considering, I’m beginning to have some cycle related pain symptoms. Please pray that it starts soon, and that the pain remains bearable. Menstruation while on blood thinners, can sometimes be problematic with excessive blood loss. Please pray that is not the case and starting my cycle does not cause the need for transfusions.
