Not to say I won't have fun though! I'm still taking my camera, eating good food, going to shows and exhibits. If it was only a little warmer then I could do just reading by the pool as well.
I like to travel. I travel often. You could almost say I'm a travel junkie. I need it. Let's take a look at my schedule to see if I'm telling the truth or not.......
March: Las Vegas 4 days. Little Rock, Arkansas 3 days.
April: Phoenix 2 days. Austin and Houston, Texas 11 days.
May: Birmingham, Alabama 3 days. 12 day road trip of national parks from San Diego up into Canada at places like Bryce, Zion, Yellowstone, Glacier and so on.
June: Colorado for 4 days.

Yeah, you get the idea. And I'm sure I'm forgetting stuff too. You could say wandering around and movement is in my veins.
You know what else gets stuck into me with a needle????
Humira. Yep, I am back on the injected drug for my Crohns disease. Meaning I can never be gone from the house now for more than 13 or 14 days at a time. It's kinda heart wrenching to me, the thing that should keep me healthy is something that kills one of my main joys in life. And my dream of living out of the country maybe as well.
See, the thing is Humira needs to be between 33 and 42 degrees F until you use it. And at $1,500 a shot, one doesn't just waste these things. Let me tell you, try traveling across the world with a medication you have to keep refrigerated non-stop for say 5 or 10 days until it is time for you to use it. Not very easy to accomplish.
I've been thinking and scheming how to make it work, but being tied to a drug in my fridge, needing to have it every two weeks in order to be "normal" is putting a dampener on my travel daydreaming. Now I'm sure I will adapt and overcome, as excuses are for people who just don't want something that badly.
But right now the idea burns as badly as the injection of Humira into my butt or thigh does.
Can you feel how cold it is when it injects inside of you? That seems like a weird question.. Its because I'm weird.
ReplyDeleteI don't neccesarily feel the temperature, but the fluid itself burns the surrounding tissue when injected. warm or cold, it sure hurts like the dickens for 30 seconds.
