WHOA, it's been a while!

 I can't believe that I haven't blogged since August.  Yes, this font may seem a little large, but that might give you the hint that my eyes are still an issue.  They are stable and I may be getting an eyelid lift and cataract surgery in January or February, so that's good news.  I'm going to have an ultrasound on my legs next month and if the clots are gone, I may be able to stop a pill!  I had another IVIG infusion to pick up my immune system and the good news is that I was able to have it at Yale.  So much closer to home. And because I've lost some weight and other factors, I like to stress the weight loss, the infusion only took an hour and a half verses four hours.  I had my third vaccine with only a slight headache and backache.  Not bad and I feel slightly more comfortable.  My doctor still doesn't want me in restaurants, around crowds , and around un-vaccinated people.  I can go into stores as long as they aren't crowded.  I get very nervous around too many people. I had a panic attack once and that wasn't fun.

Okay, I have a little rant.  Actually, it's a repeat rant, because people don't listen to me.  Here we go....

I HATE when people don't tell me things that are going on in their lives, because they think that I have enough happening with my health.  I've had people say to me many times that they didn't want to burden me.  Do you want to know how that makes me feel?  It makes me feel like shit!!!  It makes me feel alienated from your life.  It makes me feel like I don't want to tell people anything about my health, because it will be held against me!!  If anyone thinks that I can't tell when things are being kept from me, you are wrong.  Phone calls lessen or are very short.  The tone of voice is different and I'm not an idiot.  BTW, I am one strong bitch and I can handle my shit and yours.  As a matter of fact, your shit would be a welcome change, I'm sick of myself.  That's all on that.

On a brighter note, I've continued in comedy and I just did a show on Nov 1st (virtually).  Christine O'Leary is the comedy guru at the Ridgefield Playhouse and teaches the comedy workshops.  New classes will begin around February, so if anyone is inclined toward comedy, take the workshop! Do it, do it, do it!! Believe me. you won't be sorry!!  Christine is not only a great mentor, but she lets you be yourself.  The other comedians are no joke.  HAHAHA! You might think that it's just comedy, but it's so much more. It's a learning, laughing, nurturing and accepting environment.  That's my PSA!

Happy Thanksgiving All
