ITP-Breakdown of the effects of Dexamethasone on my body--DAY #9

Day #9:

Morning:
Slept well, and woke up (with alarm) around 6:45. I feel a little bit tired, but mostly normal. Appetite is normal, brain fog isn't there, sensory sensitivity isn't there. I still feel a little warm at times, and my vision hasn't returned to its normal level, but other than that, I feel like the old Charlotte that I'm used to being.

I feel good mentally and emotionally as well. It's amazing to me just how quickly things can turn around. Three days ago I was in the absolute depths of despair, and now today I'm thrilled to be able to live my life. The crisp air feels better, my daughter's laughter fills up my heart with gratitude, the simple things like eating a meal together as a family and chatting about the mundane normal things of life feel like a miracle.

I guess sometimes it truly does take the bad to truly appreciate the good.
