Last month marked one year since I have returned to work. Hard to believe it's been that long. Despite the ups and downs we've had, I don't think I would trade it for being sickly off again. No sir-ee.
I met with Dr. Artz at UCH this past week. He thought I was doing well. I also had pulmonary and bone density exams. My pulmonary exam came back a little mixed. They told me that my ability to exhale and hold that action has been in steady decline over the last few tests. The amount of air my lungs are taking in is fine however. My bone density was slightly below normal, but that was expected being that I'm still taking Prednisone. (Steroid.) So I have to go back next week for a CT Scan and pulmonary consultation just as a precaution.
I go back to my local doctor for more vaccinations on Thursday of this week with my flu shot being on the list as well. Oh goody...more pokage.
Now that most of my summer projects have come to a close, I have been drawing more lately and building models. People have asked me a lot lately 'when do you have time to do that?' The answer is simple: I make time. Because I think I have to. For a while, I think I was trying to move a little too fast too quickly. I found that I was wearing myself out to the point of shear exhaustion just trying to catch up on things. Drawing and building models helps me keep busy, but slows me down to where my body can relax and recuperate. Here's an F14 Tomcat I recently built -
