My life with CIDP

It's been a while since I posted anything, you know, when you have a chronic illness & you feel good you take FULL ADVANTAGE of it! I have felt great lately. I wouldn't say "normal" but for me, really good. This weekend is my 7 year anniversary with CIDP, (I really should have celebrated with a new tattoo, maybe next month I will.) it's been a LONG 7 years but if I sit down & add everything up I'm better for it. I may have missed the opportunity of a lifetime when I got sick, but maybe, I dodged a bullet! We will never know (well, I might, but I'm not saying, I've got to learn to keep my mouth shut sometimes!) In the last 7 years I have learned that I don't have to be perfect. At least not "society" perfect, I am however ME perfect. No one else could be a better me, I know that sounds a bit conceited but it's true. No one else could pull of my unique personality, my quirks, my smartass mouth, my loyalty, my support for tho...

I was having a Philosophical conversation with my dog earlier and I had an epiphany. (I know! Right! An epiphany! The whole talking to the dog thing is completely normal, but an epiphany, wow.)   I realized that to me a star is the symbol of God, not a cross. A cross is a symbol of Jesus, which I do believe is the only son of God, but a star is a symbol of God. Here are several reasons why, they are just now clicking together into my reasoning. 1)       A star is in the sky, or the Heavens you may say. 2)       My dog pointed out that his given name is Sirius and that Sirius, is a star located in the constellation Canis Major. (He is so intuitive!) The story of Orion & Sirius is interesting, I'll look it up and get back to ya with it, I don't remember it at the moment. 3)       Dog is God spelled backwards, coincidence, or divine intervention? 4)       My dog has he...

I have SO MANY pictures of him, this one is one of my favorites.                This was an IVIG week so I've fallen behind on my posts & caatching up with everyone on facebook. I get 4 days every 3 weeks but I seem to be doing well so far.  Last week I talked about my family. This week it’s my dog. It should be my friends but I just have to rave like a lunatic about him. He is the light of my life and as I write this he is sitting in HIS chair watching me. He is a mama's boy & we suffer from seperation anxiety some days today he is just in cuddle mode.                 His legal name is Sirius Black, yes I’m a Potter geek. I was reading the series when I got sick and I was on book 4 when I got him. When I read book 3 and Sirius asks Harry to live with him I felt like Harry finally saw hope in his future for the fi...
