My leukemia's back.

[Sally Sunshine]

The Princess always says of me, "For someone who professes to not like people you sure engage a lot of them in conversation."

just not in bulk, thats what I tell hubs. He wont let me take chicks or eggs out to meet up with people, I end up gone for at least half hour and one time it was almost two hours of yapping down at the gas station, he ended up showing up and spittin mad! he though I was abducted! And he says when in line at the store, why do you always have to talk to people, its embarrassing.

not for me

Sour, your are a true gentleman. I spent the entire day in town and had some crappy customer service. I need to really start looking for the good service like that. Mental reset. Thank you.

Sally, welcome! Since this is "my" thread, I think I can ask you for the link to that store with the pendant? It's beautiful. If you can't post it here, please PM it to me.

Yep, orange is the leukemia color. I have orange clogs, an orange sweatshirt my Sugar Monkey says could be used to find me from outer space (necessary sometimes cause I'm always taking it off and laying it on a fence, etc when it gets warm, then forgetting it), several crocheted hats in orange, and of course shirts. And an orange butterfly sticker on the van

.

I'm usually up at 6:30, but this morning I think the prednisone woke me at 5am. Wanting those pancakes

. I don't fix breads/carbs for breakfast to make it easier on the low-carbers in the house, but I got up at 5:30 and fixed myself pancakes with banana and raspberry---so good! Then I fried bacon for their breakfast so they wouldn't smell the pancakes when they got up

.

My appt went well. She wanted me to go ahead and drop my prednisone down to 30mg a day (on 50mg now), I was thrilled! I really did okay with it the first few weeks, but now we're hitting some serious side effects, especially in the mental health department. But she didn't have my labs from yesterday, I talked to that office later and found my liver function tests have actually gone up. So, they're supposed to get together and decide What To Do With Rachel. sigh. I never wanted to be a person multiple doctors had to consult over.

So, to make myself feel better, I fired up the incubator

. I've only got 5 eggs, but hopefully that will be 5 chicks. And incubating eggs beats eating......

Phil, I'm glad you got your meds straightened out. "Ask for Candy", that's too funny!

Outpost, glad things are coming along with the remodel. Running water is good!

Eggsy---

. I've worried about you, with the boy gone and you just seem down. I didn't understand the extent of your respiratory/allergy issues, that would sure have me down too! Praying they can get you straightened out and decide What To Do With Jan

Ron....you're bad. Bad, bad, bad. That recipe looks evil.

I like that recipe because I can start it in the evening and then get up the next morning and have rolls ready within an hour--

The time in the fridges adds flavor too because of the enzyme action on the cabs.

Hey Phil, if you get a chance to go fishing...

that's funny...I got too busy working on my duck pen...tomorrow should be done. I tell you this weather is great for November though.

Rachel...

So good that you are on the "up"...I have been trying to update myself on your progress for ages now..you are such a wonderful person,,caring about everyone around you ...so VERY YOU...!!! Hope you loved your pancakes this morning...wish I could be there with you to make you some pancakes...sadly I am not a good cook and they would likely to be a burned offering..at least the thought is there!!!!

Take care!

Love

Suzie

Rachel...30 is better than 50...I'm only on 10 right now that's why I'm concerned about the whole eye pressures thing. And dang I want pancakes now.

 

[LittleLakePhil]

And sourland what you did was a really nice building block in that young lady's life.
I hear people all the time b###h about kids these days. But I've seen kids do so much good. You just have to pay attention. I've seen some of the most tough kids grow up and become outstanding citizens.
And it always amazes me how the smallest acts of kindness can help plot a course for success.....thanks for you thoughtfulness today......Phil

I fessed up to her I'd actually dropped it down to 45 on Monday. Did I mention mental heath issues? They were reaching critical mass and I had to do something. So when she said down to 30mg, I told her she was my new best friend

.

If I wind up staying on it a while I'll look into the eye exam. She gave me the name of a guy here who works with g v h patients with their eyes. My eyes water all the time, she says it's common to get the ducts plugged. Ehh, no thanks. That just sounds icky, and the watery eyes don't bother me that much.

My eyes were always dry with g vs h...I know all about the mental health issues..sorry it really is tough because you can't seem to help yourself steroid rage is a real thing...hope you can lower the dose more soon.

 

[donrae]

It wasn't so much rage as spending too much time in my own head, if that makes sense. And having thoughts that just aren't me. For a few days, it made perfect sense to me to quit taking all my meds and just see how this graft vs host would move on my body, and how bad it would really get? That's not normal, right? Thankfully I snapped out of that mode

. But I get weird thoughts still and I don't like it. I'm good about not acting on things I think, and my family relationships are still good, but man, dealing with the public...well, that's never been my strong suit anyway, and I spent way too much time in town today. I don't want to leave the house ever again.....oh wait, the livestock auction is this Saturday! Ya'all are invited to come set with me and hold my hands down
