But as I started to think about it, I've already bypassed that number these past several years.
My body has been making things more difficult for me. I'm aging faster than I should be. I had to have a hysterectomy at age 30. Had to have a total knee replacement at age 44. And just yesterday the doctor told me I have the back of a 60 year old. Excuse me, I'm only 45? What's that back going to look like when I am 60?
And the next not-so-great news from the rheumatologist? That Methotrexate that I take on Wednesday nights? The pills that I take 8 of all at the same time? Well, it's time to switch to an injection there, too. So next week I will start taking two shots. One injection of the chemotherapy drug Methotrexate and one injection of the TB and cancer-causing drug Enbrel.
I know my situation is not unique. I know there are others out there suffering (or managing) better than I am. But some days I just have to live one day at a time.
One more day of exercising (that's 32 in a row now). One more day of finishing up a kids quilt.
