Lynn, my sister went through a (medically) rough time a few years ago. She has a form of vasculitis (where the immune system attacks healthy cells of the body), and the treatment involves chemo and steroids and lots of other meds. Fortunately for her they caught it early, the form she has isn't usually caught until it reaches the internal organs and by then it's too late to do anything.
Anyway, so she developed diabetes (and gained a lot of weight) because of the Prednisone, but I think she's finally off the Prednisone, done with chemo, just has to take a boatload of pills. I don't think they ever consider her free of the disease, she will always have to take certain meds, you just sort of hope it doesn't get any worse.
When she first got it I researched on the internet, then freaked out because the life expectancy was very low! But of course since they don't normally catch it until too late, it would be. But she's doing well under the circumstances, and while I still don't know what her life expectancy is, she's holding her own, and I think more appreciative of life in general, ya know?
DS3 still has yet to poop in the toilet. In the evening he asks for a diaper, and if it's near bedtime, I just put one on him. Not 5 minutes later he'll tell me or Daddy, "I poo-poo." I have to get some sort of prize that he can have if he puts his poop in the potty...Mikalah is still napping!When they went to lay down, dh was chillin on the puter, and Mikalah was fussing at him. "Do you want to go to bed??" She looked at him, and yelled back "YES!!!!"
Sure did!
Get bizzy...
But I think we might have actually hit on an ovulation day this time... So heres hoping! We arent actively trying, I think just not trying to prevent it.... But i think if we are actually PG, it will be alot more incentive to move out of this DUMP... Instead of just talking about it!
Dang kids anyway, getting in the way of babymakin'...Im TRYING!!! our life is NOT conducive to baby making!

Okay... the baby is up, so i have to go start getting things ready again. Bye!! Talk to you tonight!
'Bye!!!I know!!
Yes, I did. Why do you ask?
My parents loved watching variety shows. Do you remember the Sonny & Cher show? He always seemed like a bumbling, mushy dork and she the whip-smart, slightly *****y talent of the duo. I thought it was funny that she said he wrote all the skits and stuff, it was all an act.im just looking at some old clips of the show on you tube...I loved them...I had 3 of their albums and the dolls

Now you've got me curious, I wonder when the show aired?
ds3 is up now. I don't think he slept at all, but he's definitely done with bed, darn it!
So I've got to go. I hope you're doing OK, Lynn, and do let me know what you find out next week.
bye bye
yes I am taking iron...and no there is no cure...If I have it I will die....not trying to be dumb here but thats what happens...I have a 95% chance of living over 5 yrs and 70% up to 20 yrs...however, being that my kidneys arent good because of my diabetes, the attack will speed up on them at least...
thanks alex and yes you are right ...the symptoms that come and go they call flare ups...Im hoping that all will be ok and Im just anemic is all...I need to go to DL...seriously...like right now...Im just hoping that Im still going to be able to go at the end of next month...I dont know how much out of pocket this is going to entail and I havent been able to work much these last few months and Im trying to figure out how to pay stuff before they turn it all off...
