READY FOR BLA: keychain case

My bilateral adrenalectomy is scheduled for Tuesday, December 17th. These pesky adrenals come out in two weeks. I look forward to the day.

I have a list of things to do a mile long that I plan to share with you. I'll feel better going into surgery knowing I have taken care of some details.

Today, I share this nifty keychain with pill container that I found for $1.99.  I bought it today, and there is plenty of room to store hydrocortisone. The description says the case can hold six pills, but I found it to hold much more.  I easily loaded 15 pills of 20 mg Cortef and 15 pills of 5 mg Cortef in the container.  That's nearly 400 mg of hydrocortisone with me at all times to cover me while I'm on the go. It is also BPA free and food grade plastic. I also like that the sliding button, shown in blue, keeps the container closed to prevent accidently opening.

One thing off the list. I'm off to a running start. ~M

Day 2: Around the Cushie World in 30 days~Let's Talk about our Bodies

Today, I share Gracie's post entitled Let's Talk about our Bodies from her blog called One Day at a Time / A Day in the Life of a Train Wreck.

If we didn't laugh, we'd cry, and well, we did that already.  Here is an excerpt. 

We also often lose a lot of our hair, and it just turns into this frizzy, haystack consistency that you can't do anything with. Oh, and don't forget the big red face! 

When you have Cushing's, you often have a very odd  body odor that no shower and no soap can get rid of.

I feel awkward in my clothes. My belly shows through my clothes. There is no hiding it. It makes me look odd!
