HAVE A RA BATTLE GOING ON

Hands , knees and ankles began hurting 19th.  Had not had a flare up since went off methatrexate and on chemo.  He gave me extra prednisone and I am getting better now.  I will also have a back up of a dose pack for the next flare up.

Dorothy passed away Saturday. Funeral is Wednesday 26th.  Hope to be feeling good.  She had a brain tumor.  Had surgery, but it began go grow again so fast.  We all hoped she would get some time to feel good.  The cousins are all getting in some sort of health issues.  But we are getting older.  She was one of the youngest of us.

My chemo is doing good.  Doctor thinks I am progressing good.

SEPTEMBER IS ALREADY HALF OVER

I would feel good if I was not so clumsy. Last Sat I tripped up patio steps and have been sore and stiff again for the past week.  Is beginning to east up.  Makes me so mad that I have felt good through the chemo and keep myself hurting from stumbling around.  

Marjie had her foot surgery Thurs. She plans on being off only a week although the dr. wanted 2 weeks. She will be on crutches or scooter for 7 to 9 weeks. No weight on it. No driving.  Her work is paying for an Uber when she cannot bum rides from someone.

Jackie has been sick for 2 weeks or so. She is feeling better, but finally went to dr today.

Here is to my week off chemo pills. Do not have to plan that late night snack before my 10 pm pills. And so not have to set my alarm.

Will try to stay on my feet this week.
