Shot #2 tonight

I'll post again after I do it. Certainly if I have side-effects. Just lettin' the world know. :)

Monday

Today is weird. Surreal in fact. I am wavering between throwing up and crying and being angry. I'm all over the place. One of Chandler's friends from school is having brain surgery today. They found a tumor the size of a pool ball in his head. We are praying as many others are, but again we feel so helpless. It is not in our control and I can only imagine, and that not very well, what it must be like to have your little boy being cut on to save his life. They don't know if it is benign or malignant yet, but just to have him in that situation... It makes me take stock in the relationships I have. I love my family and hope they know that. It also so shadows anything I may be dealing with. My issue seems petty to me considering the life-struggle he is going through. Anyway, just had to get that out.

Mowed the lawn tonight

I do that from time to time :) My leg is filled with lead now. It is quite amazing how exercise just fatigues it so badly. Hrad to get it up and over the edge of the tub to take a shower, let alone not fall down while in it. I was thinking tonight after I got out about how I used to get dressed standing up. Sure, lean a little against the bed to get the socks on but all in all, standing. I miss that. I have a nice ottoman in the bedroom I sit on to put my pants, socks, shoes, etc. on. I can stand still and put my shirt on sure, but there are a number of things I now do sitting. Just an observation.

I still have not felt any ill effects form the Avonex injection. That is great. Next one is Tuesday night. My left ankle is hurting again in the smae place as a few months ago. I have no idea why. I would like to at least remember the injury. Go figure.

Granite is in

I spent the evening redoing all of the plumbing since our granite countertops were installed today. I'm tired but I'm glad it is done. They are beautiful. Not been too tired as of late (once I get going in the a.m.). My insurance will not cover the Avonex lie other meds so it will cost me about $3000/year. I have told the manufacturer I am interested in their assistance program so we'll see what happens there over the next few days.
