A little bumpcation (tl;dr)

CoffeeBeen

Hi all, I've been at home from the hospital for a few days now and it has been wonderful!  I'm still not allowed to do much of anything.  And that's mostly ok by me - except when it comes to taking care of DS.  It really breaks my heart that I can't do any of the heavy lifting until I'm better.  

I still haven't received my next lab tests.  But if my symptoms are indicating anything then my platelets are going up.  

I'm a chronic worrier and I've rolled this illness into fears of all the other illnesses I could have.  I'm really fighting that tendency because honestly, we got quite lucky with a diagnosis of ITP.  It's manageable and rarely fatal - heck, sometimes it even goes away! 

Either way, I think I'm going to take a little bumpcation.  I'm still struggling with the idea of having a chronic autoimmune disease and it's making me step back.  Right now I feel like I see everything through ITP eyes and I don't want to write a zillion posts about the same thing.  This has sort of spilled over into IRL, I feel very myopic about my health right now and it's hard to remember that I'm more than just my health status.  I'm hoping that this is due to the newness of my diagnosis, if not then I'll find someone to talk to.

Anyway, I didn't want to just disappear, because really I'm fine.  I just need to shake up my daily routine a little bit and I don't think I'll be around as much.  Thank you all for the support, well wishes, and T&Ps.  You're a great group of ladies.  I'm sure I'll check beck relatively soon, but until then, take care!

I hope you continue to feel better and that you are one of the lucky ones who has this go away. I understand needing a break, but know that I wouldn't mind a millions posts about ITP, if that's what you want to post.
