Still Here

Now that a whole month has past since my last entry, I figured that it was about time. It's raining right now, and watching the tv deoesn't take much effort so I am multi-tasking.

The past few weeks have seen some changes. My mom went home finally. She needed to get home, look after the other art of the family, get some stuff done at home, quit wasting her summer in Calgary. Of coursespending the time to keep me company is not wasting time, but for lack of a better word, there is a lot more to do when you're at home. This is my home now, I have decided that I might as well just stay here in Calgary. Not knowing how everything is going to turn out (how long I will need to continue with light therapy, how long my high dose of Prednisone will last.) So the plan of not know has moved to staying put and not worrying about when I can ever go home. I consulted with the doctor, and found at I would be alright to venture offto college in September. I won't be enrolling in anything too strenuous. I only applied as a part-time student, and am only allowed to take two credit courses, but as many upgrading courses. I'm still trying to figure out what I will take, but it's looking to either French or Spanish, and Biology. I had almost ruled out doing any courses this fall, but then again I was planning on being home, and thought things would be a little different, but things don't always go the way they were "supposed" to. As we can look back at this past year and tell. But no matter, eventually I will get home. A whole year will have past since I have seen my mom on September 8th. It seems so long, but at the same time it's not a lot of time that has past, just a lot that has happened. Hopefully my skin, which is really the only issue holding me up, will be resolved soon. Unfortunately my skin has flared up again and is back to being itchy, which is a sign that something isn't working right. My prednisone is currently at 70mg, so it could be very well raised up again or remain at this level. I guess the PUVA isn't working as well as it could yet, so we'll see. I am not really sure how fast I will see results. But getting off prednisone would be nice. Over and out for now!!
