I had a lot of trouble concentrating today. I anxiously awaited a call from insurance all morning approving my IVIG treatment. Since the call never came, the earliest I will be able to start is on Tuesday. Since I had to cancel Chicago anyways, though, Tuesday-Friday 9:00 AM-2:00 PM wouldn’t be the worst thing.
On a happier note, today was the best day I’ve had all month. Everything about my diagnosis has been confusing, overwhelming, and frightening, but today was wonderful. John & I drove into the city and parked near 30 Rock to go to the taping of The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon. The taping was an awesome experience and at the end we even got to high five Jimmy as he ran up the aisle during the closing credits. We watched the show when it aired tonight and you could see us on screen! Appear on national television? Check!
In addition to that, my husband and my mother-in-law gave me an early birthday present – a t-shirt blanket made from all of my old college and sorority t-shirts! I had originally asked my husband for one back in August 2013 when we were still dating. We had just moved in together and I thought it would make a perfect birthday present. He never ended up doing anything with the box of shirts, though, and I started to think he never would. It made it ten times more exciting not knowing it was happening! It was a total and complete shock and I am absolutely in love with it. Today was a nice change of pace!
