I'm still hanging in there!

It was another quiet day. Did a little work around the house. Every day I feel OK. But, I have to admit that some days I feel a little better than others. Usually, it's my stomach that might not feel completely up to snuff. It's never impacted my eating at all. But, on those days, I go a little easier. Today was not like that - everything was just great!

I got a phone call from the long term disability company asking about my status. The way that the woman was asking the questions, it seemed as though she was trying to catch me in a lie. She wanted to know everything about my doctor and she kept pushing me about my daily activities - asking if I was driving, going shopping, etc. I guess that I was convincing when I said that I was not supposed to be in crowds so that shopping, movies, restaurants, church, work, etc. were all currently beyond my reach. At that point she seemed to give up and said that she would call in three months. Do they really think that I am making all this up? I found it to be a little insulting.

It does get frustrating at times but I know that I am really not ready to tackle the world yet. I have to build up my strength and stamina.

But, in time, it will all come back...
