Life as I know it

Well, now that I have the bipolar under control, I am feeling more like I should be.  No bad thoughts, no thoughts of being more than what I am, no thoughts of death and dying.  But....and there is always a but in my life...I am still dealing with a few more health problems.  Some things, like the Crohn's and the fibromyalgia will never go away.  But hopefully I can work at getting them under some sort of control.  I am on week 3 of this horrible antibiotic for the kidney infection.  As a lot of women know, antibiotic = yeast infection.  I am working hard to make sure that doesn't happen to me.  I've cut out most of the sweets, I'm eating all that 'good' yogurt, and I'm taking loads of probiotics.  So far so good.  All in all, things are getting much better.  This yukky wet damp weather is not doing me any favours as it drives my joints crazy, but, I can deal with that.
I am still waiting for my brothers and sisters to make up with me, and start a sibling relationship again, but I think I will have a long wait.  My brothers are talking to me, but my sisters are another story.  I'm so glad for my 'far away' relatives and my wonderful friends, who I am now considering my family.  I can't wait until spring, and hope that I can go west and have a visit with my cousin Lori and her daughters, Genesis, Sarah, Che and Rebekkah.  They are such wonderful people.  I have only seen Rebekkah when she was a baby, so I don't know that I would even recognize her.  But her sisters love me, and hopefully she will get to know and love me too.
