So today I was finally able to eat - and taste it! Yippee! The last 5 days have been pretty miserable - but I feel like the steroids are finally working their way out and I'm coming back to normal. I'm not sure if it was worth it yet...I know that the side effects of the meds used to treat illness and disease is more times than not worse than what it's trying to resolve - but I have to look at the big picture. Sure I feel like total crap for about a week (hopefully not longer), but the plus side is that the disease doesn't spread...my total goal. My doctor said it could take up to 6 months before I see major improvement...and to be honest, it has actually gotten worse over the last few days - but I'm staying positive and know that it will turn around and my vision will return back to normal - or as close to it as possible.
I'm really trying to focus on feeling better - my beloved Austin and Lexi arrive in a mere 5 days for the summer. It was February the last time we saw them and we have a huge summer planned - I'm so excited to see them I can hardly stand it! Austin, Lexi and Emma are the driving force behind getting better and I can't wait until my family is all back together again! Here's to a great, healthy summer!
