I did get the results of the extensive blood work back and everything was negative ..... good news that there are no major diseases or conditions, but bad news in that it still doesn't help us solve why the skin stuff is happening. I am exhausted with going to appointments, co-pays, pharmacy lines, etc., so I'm going to step back for the next two weeks and will then see where we are at. I need a break from it all & trying to juggle everything around work. Nothing related to the skin is getting any worse, but not better either - pretty much stagnant.
I am going to continue w/pt, but am hoping to taper off ..... it is helping & the pain issue does seem to be almost totally gone. On Wednesday, I walked four miles at work. I may propose once a week for pt over the next 2-3 weeks.
This afternoon I did return to my family dr. for stronger medication for bronchitis . . . hopefully the new antibiotic kicks in this weekend. I've been a strong two weeks of feeling lousy. I am going to attempt to have a low key weekend with not a lot happening . . . heading to bed early, as I am in need of some extra rest.
It will all work out. If I think about how far we've come, all of the present issues seem pretty small in significance. Thanks for your continued prayers, encouragement and caring heart.
Wishing you a happy fall weekend!
Jenny

Thought of you so much this weekend -- w/ the latest reports and knowing that though tests were "negative," all is NOT okay. Hope you did get in some extra rest this weekend. Keep us posted! Hugs! L Jo
OK...I know that I already WROTE once on this post on the blog...which is really more like a BLOB with all of the entries you have had w/ your medical woes...but that's OKAY!!!! I LOVE its creativity, its honesty, its peek-into-you... Blog or blog...I'm just checking in! Hugs. L Jo :0)
OK so this is REALLY bad...this is the THIRD time that I have commented on this post... I always check your site to make sure there is no news and most of the time I try not to say anything so I don't clog the blog...but just wanted you to KNOW that I thought of you this AM b/c I looked at my toes and thought: Dear Self: Your toes NEED some attention (a pedicure). Jenny would NEVER have toes that looked like that. End of note to Self. So even despite your war-wound-appearing skin, your tootsies themselves are ALWAYS perfect. L Jo
