This morning’s coffee is about choosing Joy.
My Joy’s today:
•Finding Peace in my cup after a restless night.
I’ve been symptomatic for a while again. I went from extreme fatigue over the last half of the year (I’ll write about that one in a different post) to can’t sleep more than an hour at a time for one of these reasons or all of them at the same time. My hands and feet and legs are tingling, causing me to wake and adjust, sometimes feeling swollen. My bladder thinking I need to go potty right now (ever gone potty 8 times in a night… it’s annoying), and this last one, which has been the more consistent symptom through the whole year, is being so hot that your feet are on fire. I mean, they are even hot to the touch.
So when I say restless… it’s not from worry (I had enough of that over the preteen and teenage years of raising a daughter). It’s from the MS symptoms making a comeback.
This month has definitely had it’s stressors including Ashlynn moving back home, but truly, this has more to do with the infusion yuck. I’m less than a month away from my Ocrevus infusion, which means my body is anticipating and ready for the next dose as the current dose is losing its effectiveness in my system.
Next Joy
•Going to see The Nutcracker ballet with Scott tonight!
The last of my ‘choose your own play pass’. It’s from my Christmas gift from him last year. (Do you know I’ve never seen The Nutcracker… it’s always been on my list but I’ve never made it happen). I’m excited.
So we’re going to get all dressed up and have an early dinner at Angelo’s before heading downtown for a Colorado Ballet performance of The Nutcracker.
Mmm, cake for breakfast… yes, please!
Find Joy in your day today, my friends.
What is your Joy? As always… enjoy your first cup.
