I did get some things done today. Cleaning, laundry, organizing. Still a long way to go to have the house truly organized but a little better tonight.
So, starting tomorrow I may have a busy week ahead. During lunch, have to cash a check. After work, have to make calls and go test drive some vehicles. Once I choose a vehicle, I will have to get it towed home. Then there's the issue of registration. I may go slightly illegal for a short while, put the plate from the car on whatever vehicle I buy until I can do formal registration. Can switch the insurance easily. Email will do it. I am out of ink, though. Can carry the old papers until the new ones arrive. In the low chance I got pulled over they could quickly confirm it by computer.
I am going to focus the search first and foremost on a larger vehicle. Something big enough to haul building equipment. It has been difficult to haul some things in this car, no matter how I like the car.
Been looking back over my strange medical history. Not like any person I have ever known. I once thought I had bronchitis, shoulder problems, knee problems and mood problems. It has turned out every single one of those issues was secondary to having an autoimmune disorder and not knowing it. Now, for years I have functioned under the belief I had Celiac disease and it turns out I probably don't. (The jury is still out for the moment but seems likely.)
Like I said, nobody I have ever encountered has had such a strange medical history. Even with 20 years of nursing. Nobody I have known has ever reached my age before learning of ulcerative colitis. My symptoms were there but not severe. In some sense that's good. In others, really not good because of the advanced level of damage I encountered.
However, here is the ultimate to all of this, which I just realized this evening. If I have ulcerative colitis and not Celiac, it means there is the possibility for a lot of my intestines to heal, which they would not do with Celiac. Still a lot of scar tissue but over time, it means if I keep it under control, my nutritional absorption will improve. I had come to the acceptance that that would never happen.
It's a nice change of thought.
