In trying to recover..

I've learned a couple things:

•  Boiled chicken is awesome. There is just something about it, maybe I'm low on protein, but I am so happy that I invested $7 in 2 whole birds and that my parents gifted me a large stock pot in which to boil said birds. My meat intake is limited - no heavy, breaded, fatty, spicey, nothings! so I'm glad to be able to enjoy. 
• This is one of the few times in my life where I can let the house go and not be blamed for it. Sick people don't have to do dishes on a daily basis. Not to mention other things that while they do make me feel more human and better in a way, I now have a great excuse to not do them - not shaving my legs, wearing a pony tail for more than 2 days in a row *faux pas!* and becoming more familiar with the feeling of the couch and my buttox meeting while enjoying an all day Alfred Hitchcock film festival. 
•  I really am blessed with the parents that I have. No matter what my siblings think, and I am aware of how spoiled I am, even at 28 years old. I am so blessed, and even more so appreciative of their help through this time in my life. Not to mention all of my friends and my family. The cards, balloons, flowers, magazines, books, assistance around the house and home, coming over to mow my lawn for me, picking up my mail, dropping off juices, sneaking over milkshakes, making sure I have everything I need. I could very well bring myself to tears just thinking about the caring people I have in my life right now. Thank you guys <3  And I'm pretty sure that's not the medications talking. 
• And last but not least, even if I feel fantastic, does not mean I can go out on a shopping excursion!

My latest Dr. appointment left me with yet another prescription and a small shopping list of items to help relieve what I believe to be steroid related side-effects. One of which is itchy palms, and currently the most annoying, although small annoyance it is. I'm hoping in a couple weeks to say "Ah! Relief! And all I had to deal with was indigestion, mushrooms, and itchy palms!" Apparently having itchy palms is a sign of money coming my way.
The old wives tale is told "Left to leave. Right to recieve. Scratch it on wood to make it come good." Which really makes sense, because with all the doctors bills coming in, I am and will be having money given and taken away from me on an almost daily basis for the next couple months, I'm sure!
