Warmly welcome :)

Hi all!
My name is Isa, and this is my blog. A couple of months ago I was diagnosed with Buerger's Disease and I want to share my journey with You.

Blogging is very new to me, so please be patient - I will learn quickly :)

Hope you'll enjoy reading these "stories"!

It has been about a week since I last updated my blog, we went for a holiday so it has been quite extraordinary days, but wonderful days :) I feel so energetic when meeting up with good friends and spending time with them, and to have the opportunity to enjoy days with my parents.

We went to a Schoolmuseum on Thursday with my mothers friends. I never would have thought that sitting in school would be that nice! Our guide really knew his history and brought the stories alive. This museum is located almost in the centre, so it may be best to use the public transport to get there. We went with my mother's car, and had difficulty to find parking place when there was snow everywhere. The museum is also suited for disabled persons, in every room there are chairs. http://www.museot.fi/searchmuseums/index.php?museo_id=21144
There is no entrance fee, but you get more information if there is a guide with you.

I seem to have some problems with my medication at the moment. The painkillerbandaid is making my skin really red and it itches all the time. My other medication has made my weight come up so much that I have difficulty finding clothes to wear, and now I am awake at nights, again. Looks like my body has grown used to these pills and they have lost their efficiency. I have to contact my "pain"physician about how to proceed.

Last week my doctor phoned and my right hand has to be operated. We talked about my disabled parking permit, and she said why haven't I asked about it sooner. She promised to write me a certification that I really need this permit. My friends from Tampere told me that I am entitled to use the disabled taxi as well, if the social service agrees with my doctor that I am in need of assistance. But, knowing money is scarce, they might just say tough luck.

Finally the snow is gradually starting to melt. Atlast! Everyday big wet wipes fall down from the sky, which should increase the amount of snow, instead it decreases is. If you look outside it seems that the snowlevel has staid the same, but if you have some kind of focal point you see the real change. I'm using the bench, which we forgot outside before winter, as a comparison.

Maybe in a few months I may spend my days outside, maybe walking a bit around, maybe even doing some gardening. If I'm really lucky, we may have some friends come over. But, before this would be possible, I want to renovate teh sauna into a guesthouse. Me, by myself. Maybe.
