Sorry about the hickory tree. I hope it will recover.

The waterways being contaminated is a horrible thing.

Penny I hope your dr can give you something to help your breathing.

Ron how is your mom doing?

Standard dose is 1cc. I'm on 1/4th this week and 1/2 starting next week for one month.

I found something that said 1cc = 1 pill. IF that is the case, and DW's pills are "normal" (2.5 mg), she is taking 15 cc's a week. I wonder if something else hit you that caused the fatigue. I can't imagine 1/4 cc (.63 mg) would cause such a reaction especially since DW hasn't ever had that. Of course she usually skips the "common" side effects and goes to the ones so far down the list no one ever reads them.

My last 3 Cockers made it to 14 years of age or so. Still not enough time compared to a human. I cried a million tears - can't take it anymore. Haven't had one since 1-89- still hurts.

Sorry DD. Hugs.

She is doing a lot better. She had some hip pain for a couple of days but it is gone now. She goes to physical therapy two times a week and is getting around better now

Thanks @getaclue, I plan to do just that. I've had reality hit me smack between the eyes. Getting used to having to live life in the 'slow' lane is very hard for me. I'm like a horse used to running suddenly being penned up in an 8X8 stall. I kick and scream and stress myself out until I look around and say well,gosh howdy this isn't too bad. Oh look! I have time to embroider and that quilt I've been wanting to make? Now's the time. Oh and THERE'S my sketchbook and pencil case!

Of course I have to get it through my head that the 8X8 stall is there for my own protection and well being. I've just never been one that has been able to separate staying active from staying OVER active and abusing my joints.

@bruceha2000 the doctor started me out at a low dose because I have a tendency to not tolerate a lot of drugs and usually I have a lot of GI reactions which is why I can't take the INSAIDS except for enteric coated aspirin. This coming Saturday, I take 1/2 a CC then 1/2 for the next two weeks. When I see him in Sept he will consider stepping it up.

On a bright note. I got up this morning and my fingers were only a 'little' stiff and sore instead of an 'oh Crap somebody massage my hands so I can open them' sort of pain. That hasn't happened for awhile.
