Good morning Everyone!

Hard to believe that we are half way into the month of July isn't it? Time flies...

I start Cyclophosphamide this morning. Only thing though is that my son was up half the night with some type of stomach flu so if I have nausea or vomitting today, I won't know if its the new meds or if its because I caught my son's flu bug! I guess I'll just play it by ear.

I plan to stay busy all day today to take my mind off things. I'm sure everything will go smashingly!

Hope everyone has a great day today.

Hugs,
Josée

" good Morning everyone got the house cleaned yesterday yeah by night my hands hurt so bad I could not even get the kids an icecream cone. They are learning at a young age how to do for themselves. Some times I just hate the MCTD for what it takes from them. They are up and running so I must run to. The Pigs I was refering to is my kids and they ate pancakes yesterday. The book If You Give A pig A Pancake will make you grin if you read it. A childs book. "

" Josee- Hope your treatment puts you in remission.
Kristin- I have back pain frequently. I hate how the meds take so much out of ones life. Hope this treatment works and you are up and running soon.
dallas- that temp sure has been up awile. Hope you dont have anunderlying infection. Get well soon.
Jmcull- Come clean my house and I'll feed your piggies! Hate cleaning but my kids will be removed by the health dept if I dont get to it soon. Hate those day after aches and pains! But at least you house is clean!
Had a very ill patient to deal with yesterday. From all the lifting and carrying I had to do yesterday, my back is killing me. Mostly,I just carried his oxygen tank and helped him up and down. And I see him again tomorrow! Oh, well. Guess my kids will finish college someday and I can retire!
Heres to retirment!
Oh, my rheumy says my vitamin D level is still low! Guess I need more than 1,800iu per day. "
