Update. I'm down 65 pounds, which would be much more exciting if the trade off wasn't so cruddy. I'm trying to stay grateful and hopeful, but I'm mostly borrowing hope and gratitude from my support network because it's hard to get it together on my own. I have a lot of work to do to strengthen my lungs after being stuck in a bed for three months. I'm now doing weekly infusions and so far I've only had one, but I think, fingers crossed, it made a little difference. I pray every day that I'll wake up and feel like myself again, be able to eat, not be sick and in pain, but honestly it's the small things that I find myself getting happy over. Today was a rough day but I did manage to exist in more than one room today. Should anyone want to help us out, things are rough with me not being able to work, though I'm applying desperately to everything I can think of every day. I would rather have a good job lead, so if anyone has a lead on a masters level job opening or a librarian/ research position please let me know.
