downhill spiral. . . . .

yes. that is what it feels like. a downhill spiral.

When we went to Topeka I started to not feel so great. Jessica had been sick. Michele had caught it. So, why wouldn't I. Obviously not from them. But, yes, I caught it too. A simple cold. 

A simple cold that has now lingered for almost two weeks. A simple cold that is down in my chest. A simple cold that has made me feel miserable. A simple cold. Whine. Whine. Whine. And yes. I can whine. This is my blog. And I can if I want to. :-)  I feel so important. Today I have talked to two of my doctors. I got an antibiotic from my primary physician. Yeah! And was taken off some of my RA meds by my rheumatologist. Boo! Blood levels elevated. Humira gone. Boo! Methrotrexate gone. Yeah! (makes me sick to my stomach) No advil. No tylenol.  No anti inflammatory's. Blah. Blah. Blah. Doesn't he know I have an auto immune disease?? :-( I can certainly see where this is taking me. Ouch.

On top of me not feeling the best, our Jorge has not felt well either. So I took him to the vet this morning. Somehow, he has punctured his cornea. And then not being related to that, he is also sick. Running a fever. Sneezing. Congestion.  He too came home with lots of medicine. I can't believe my dog wants to be rocked. Silly little guy.


Mom update ~Surgery again. Tomorrow. Boo! Her incision has not healed properly and has now abscessed. Tomorrow morning they will be opening it back up and cleaning it out. yuck. We pray that is heals properly this time. And yes. We are letting her keep her A+. Maybe we should even give her some bonus points for the additional surgery.


But upwards bound!! Jessica accepted a job today! Go Jessica!!


Awww man! Just as I'm finishing this post. . . . . Michele just called. She is on her way home and was rear ended on interstate. The police are on their way. But she is fine! Thank goodness!!

Whewwwww!!!! What a day!
