Dear 2017 this year I overcame... and June 2017

This writing prompt is really difficult for me. I don't feel like I have overcome anything this year. I feel like I have been defeated. This year began full of possibilities and is ending with trying to accept that those possibilities are gone and I need to look for new ones.

June 2017

June was actually one of my better months this year.

Thursday, June1, 2017 - I worked all day, picked up a Pride T shirt for the parade even though I knew I couldn't attend because of my health, then I went for a massage. LONG day.
This post office is next to my acupuncturist where I got my massage. I love taking pictures of old Post Offices.

Friday, June 2, 2017 - I worked all day! After a long day that was pretty impressive.

Saturday, June 3, 2017 - I took my oldest granddaughter, Amanda, to Toys R Us. There was a LOT of traffic but we still had fun.

Monday, June 5, 2017 - I worked all day and then went for acupuncture.

Tuesday, June 6, 2017 - I worked all day. I started having pretty severe chest pain during the day but since I had experienced that before I decided to suck it up and push through it.

Wednesday, June 7, 2017 - I couldn't work because of the chest pain.

Thursday, June 8, 2017 - I worked all day. I did experience itching, hives and shortness of breath.

Friday, June 9, 2017 - I worked all day.

Monday, June 12, 2017 - I worked all day.

Tuesday, June 13, 2017 - I worked all day.

Wednesday, June 14, 2017 - I worked most of the day and went back to the ENT where I learned that I still had a sinus infection. He did a culture.

Thursday, June 15, 2017 - I went to the ER for severe itching. I didn't make it to work.

Friday, June 16, 2017 - I worked all day.

Monday, June 19, 2017 - I went to the Pulmonologist. FINALLY!!! She suggested a bronchoscopy. She said that she could not do it. She said that another doctor would be contacting me to schedule it. She prepared me for the possibility of not finding any answers.
I received a call from the ENT telling me that I had a staph infection in my sinus. He prescribed a topical antibiotic that I would use in my sinus rinse. My insurance didn't cover it so my son in law paid for it.
I went to my primary doctor to fill out paperwork because I would not be returning to work for a while. We also talked about IV fluids to keep me out of the ER. She said she couldn't prescribe that because she was a PA so I made an appointment with the MD that she works with.
That evening I started my new antibiotic.

Tuesday, June 20, 2017 - I saw the doctor about fluids. He referred me to a neurologist to be tested for MS and to a nephrologist. He also asked me to do an input/output diary for my fluids.

If you look closely at the picture you will see that my shoes don't match! :o

Friday, June 23, 2017 - I returned to the doctor with my input/output diary. He was shocked. He made the order for my IV fluids.

Tuesday, June 27, 2017 - The pulmonologist recommended a mold inspection so we had one done.

Thursday, June 29, 2017 - I went to the Infusion Center at the hospital for the first time. It was nice to be able to get fluids without going to the Emergency Department!
I went to see my primary doctor.

See! June wasn't so bad. I worked 10 days of the month! :)
