good things happen

Today I went to the eye doctor's so he could check to see if my lupus medication was poisoning my eyes. I have to have this done once a year so they can monitor the effects on my body. They were planning on doing a range test on my eyes by forgot and dilated them so there'd be no way for me to complete this test. After figuring out what had happened and finding out that I don't have vision insurance yet the Dr. said he would reschedule me for next month and do the test than and that he wouldn't charge me for it.why can't more people be nice like that and take into consideration the situation. Does any of my other doctors they would've still rescheduled that they would charge me for it to. It helped me a lot because it saved me about $30 which I could use all the help I can get as far as medical bills. My contact my medical insurance companies see if they would cover part of it since the exam is recommended by my rheumatologist.

Hope to post more

I hope to be old to post more articles that I have been doing. For several years I've been having issues with carpal tunnel. This makes it a lot easier now that I have dictation software. Some of you may also find this software useful on the day that you really don't feel like moving or can't move for that matter. It really makes things a lot easier when trying to express yourself. Myself included and many others find it difficult to put their thoughts into words on paper but can speak just fine. Earlier I wrote an 830 were article in just 20 min. and I find that to be pretty quick even though I type really fast naturally. Not trying to sell the software or anything I think it would really help with those of us that do blogs or any other type of writing. Thank you for taking time to read this. I will write more when I find inspiration for right now I'm tired is already my third post for today but only first on this particular blog.

Movie review: Love Simple

About a week ago I was contacted by producer John Casey. I was asked if I would be interested in doing a review for the movie Love Simple. I couldn't pass it up. I received my copy on Friday and watched it on the first day off that I had.

I absolutely loved the film. I felt that I could really relate to the characters having Lupus my self. I felt that it really hit on what its like to have these inviable illnesses and how people react when they find out. Seta(Patrizia Hernandez) and Adam( Francisco Solorzano)started there relationship based on lies. Not because they didn't think the other person would like the real them but because they didn't like the reality of there lives. The story unfolds with the help of the best friends Keith(Caitlin Fitzgerald) and Jesse(John Harlacher). Watch and see how all the lies completely collapses and they are forced to face the truth. Look this movie up on itunes at http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewMovie?id=371635001&s=143441 or buy a copy as it goes international.

Am I targeted for being sick

There's a law that says a company isn't aloud to fire you because of a disability. But that doesn't stop them from looking for a different reason or trying to make you quit .

When I started at the company I'm with they extended my probation because I wasn't moving as fast as the others. Reason being because I was born with under developed muscles in my hands and needed to build up to it. As I got better and me and my partner got more efficient they raised the bar so we have some extra for the next day to start with. Recently they split me and him up and put us both on our own and I'm now suppose to put the next day at-least 5 hours ahead.

That was all before

the lupus

became active and I got sick. In April of 2009 my leg started hurting me and began to swell up really bad but I worked on it for 2 days. On that Monday morning I went to urgent care to have it looked at. I was suppose to go in to work that afternoon. At urgent care they told me I had a blood clot in my leg and that I need to go to the hospital. I went to the ER and they emitted me and gave me 2 different blood thinners every day for a week. They took my ptinr that day and it was a 1.4 (very thick blood) but the swelling went down and they did X-rays of my lungs because my doctor thought I might have pneumonia as well. Turns out I had a couple blood clots in my lungs. So now I'm on blood thinners for the rest of my life. That makes me a bleeding risk at work.

They ran test on me for lupus and I tested positive now I'm thrown in to crazy schedules. I was denied a spot in the department that I wanted and now I'm bounced between my department and the department I wanted but I make the pay for my normal department the whole time every time one of them takes a vacation day. It puts me on swing shift and that's just not right.

Resting

Well other then a couple runs here an there I've been resting as much as possible. I'm starting to feel better and the swelling in my wrist is going down but I'm still going to take it easy with that. I will have it wrapped for work Monday and Tuesday. I still not 100% and in can see a little swelling compared to my other that you can see the bone structure.


I've been posting from my iPhone because it is less stress on my joints although some may argue . It feels more natural to me. Still looking for better job opportunities with no luck. I found one that works on comition but I need to get a site up for that. It's slow because when I'm not working my crazy hours I've been sleeping . But I hope to find better luck in the near future. That is all! Good night

Addiction to over pushing

This week maybe last week I dont even know right now. Its just been crazy. I barely even remember any thing. swing shift. heavy days at work . then they tried scheduling me to work just 7 hours after getting off work and I finally said that theres no way. so after I go back for 2 more days I am talking an other day off to recover. Right now I'm very tired , my hands hurt and my carpel tunnel is acting up so I'm in a brace at the moment.

Im sorry I haven't written in a while on this blog I lost the password for a while and the server was down when I tried to reset it. I have been writing in my other blog on word press but thats just a general blog. Ive been doing allot of reading lately so I get caught up in that at times but its good to be back on here. Im going to go for now but I hope to be back to writing soon some times I just forget that I have limits. I'm very much a fighter and some times I just dont know when to take a break.
