'Tis the season I 'spose

Here comes the holidays .....so fast it could make your head spin. Every year just that much faster than the last. Oh well. Can always find something to complain about if I need to I choose not to. I have had the usual long long list of symptoms creeping up on me but still find myself looking to the bright side or at least imagining that there is a bright side. My last doctor visit was on the 5th of Dec. and I laid it all out....you know...that long long list which if I hadn't had all the scraps of paper I wrote on as reminders I probably would have said "I'm Fine" because when asked to recall I just cant hold the memory until later and I'll think "oh yea!" but too late. Anyway we discussed all my scribbles and currents and he concluded that he had good news and not so good of news. The good news was that he recommends autologous mesenchymal stem cell treatment and really feels I would benefit from it however the not so good news is he said it costs $10,000. well a lot has happened since I last posted....Not sure of everything I posted before but foreclosure, divorce,(finding my love) then moving, hip replacement, having to quit working, filing for disability, filing bankruptcy, steroid epidural...I'm sure there is more. so that's more money than I have. (about $10,000 more to be exact)  I thought that was high but if I get disability perhaps retro-ing back to when I first applied (2014) I may get enough. Meanwhile upon my investigation I come to find out its actually $15,900. My brain is ready to bleed thinking about it so I will park it and write it on my wishlist and think about the time that is upon us....Christmas. I have a lot to be thankful for....miss my daughter but was able to see her last Christmas and am thankful for that. Have my boyfriend who is the kindest person I've ever known. He keeps me motivated and active in fact my birthday present arriving for Christmas is a battery assist bike with fat tires so I can cruise the trails with him....sweetest man on the planet....love love love him. Anyway, I'm sure there will be more to post after the new year and hopefully I wont wait a year to tell it. Happy trails!
