On April 6th I went back to work! I was really excited to be back making money and seeing my work friends again. My first two weeks were on a modified schedule: 5pm-10pm with Thursdays and Fridays off. On the 20th, I went back to my normal shift so I’m working 5pm-1:30am with Thursdays and Fridays off. It’s not bad. At first I was worried about how tired I’d be by the end, but it’s alright. With the shift not starting until 5, it allows me to not have to worry about when my doctor’s appointments are…most of the time. I’m also able to pick up extra hours before my shift to make back some of the savings I went through while I was sick!
I went to see my doctor again on the 8th. He didn’t really have a whole lot to say except that he was really pleased with my progress. Starting tomorrow (April 23rd), I will be decreasing my Prednisone dosage by 2.5mg every two weeks. At this rate, I should be off them *crosses fingers* by July 16th!
My parents have been away for a week now, and I’m still alive, so I’m able to take care of myself which is good to know. Hah. I’m even doing housework and grocery shopping like a grown up again.
I finally got a call from my neurologist’s office this week. I will be going to Halifax to see another neurologist on May 4th. Unfortunately, the timing of the appointment made it such that I needed to get a day off work. Thankfully, my employer was very accommodating and immediately gave me the day off.
Hopefully the trip to Halifax will give me more information about what’s going on…
