Yes, I'm Still Alive!

I can't believe it's been almost 3 months since I last wrote on my blog. I have had a million things to write about, but life kinda got in the way. I will keep this short so I don't bore you to death or quit before I can finish it...

I have had an insane summer...surgery in July, return to work after two weeks, then John and I were very blessed to find our perfect home and purchase it in the beginning of August, spent that month renovating it, moved in on the weekend that "Irene" decided to hit Connecticut, lost power for one week so we had to keep going back and forth to our empty apartment just to shower and use the fridge, and on top of all that, I have been planning 7 work events for September and October. If you got tired just reading this, imagine living it, with a condition that already exhausts you for doing the smallest tasks?

Oh and did I mention how I totally missed CMT Awareness Month? Really annoyed about that...was just too insane to think or write about it...

Unfortunately, my body couldn't take it anymore and crashed in a really bad way a little over two weeks ago and it was my worst experience with CMT to date...I seriously considered going to the hospital because even my strongest "back-up" pain pills did not work. Eventually, my doctor was able to help me figure out what medicine might work, but it's now almost 3 weeks later and I feel like I'm still recovering.

To make matters even more "interesting" my job decided that if I could no longer attend the events (I asked to not attend any event in the month of October for fear of the pain flaring up again), which are a major part of my job, that they might have to replace me!!!!! STUNNED SILENCE! Thankfully, that situation worked itself out for the best...they really love me there and did not want to see me go so they've offered me a part-time position where I get to leave work at 2:30pm everyday with a very reasonable package. Even though we don't understand His plans all the time, things seem to have a way of working themselves out sometimes...

My new schedule will begin this Monday and I CANNOT wait to get home early, get some rest, and then actually try to live a little. Hopefully, I'll be able to come back and write lots more because this is the condensed version...I have a lot more to say about everything...but let's wrap it up here and hopefully I'll return very shortly :)
