Sandy, the good news is that today is Wednesday and I feel fine! Does anyone

else get miseraably ill from the methotrexate? I keep thinking it's going

to get better, but it doesn't it's evan a little worse. But on a scale of 1

to 10 with all the stuff we deal with with RP, I guess it's not so bad, and

it's only one miserable day, I can deal with it, but I'd rather not if I

don't have to.

Sandy, I feel like such a jerk complaining when I can only imagine what

Valarie is going thru. Believe me, this is nothing in comparison. How is

she doing with her chemo? And you with your flares? You have so many more

reasons to complain and yet you never do. Please forgive me for being so

self-centered. I'm not usually like that, only on Tuesday! Lots of Love,

Judy

[Guest guest]

Judy,

Glad you are feeling better. Do you inject your Metho? I do and I have been

doing much better. Don't have the nasty stomach problems anymore.

is feeling the effects of the radiation now. Her doc gave her

Compazine for the nausea. Yesterday when she washed her hair she lost quite

a few clumps.My son-in-law told me when she got home from her treatment she

went into the bathroom and cried. I wish I could do more for her.

I'm still flaring. Having lots of trouble with my finger joints lately.

I'm getting these big hard " knots " on my finger joints, don't know what it

is but I see my Rheumy next week.

Judy,

don't worry about " complaining " , it helps to talk about what's bothering us.

Love Ya,

Sandy

My Metho is pills and they make me so sick - Tuesdays' are a total write off.

I feel so bad complaining when I know what is going thru, and I bet

she doesn't complain half as much as I do! I wish there was

something/anything I could do for her. She has such courage. I admire you

both so very much! I have asked God to hold you both inthe center of His

palm and surround with His love. Much love, Judy

A FEW ONE LINERS. Define "Transvestite": A guy who likes to eat, drink and be . Why is a government worker like a shotgun with a broken firing pin? It won't work and you can't fire him. My mind works like lightning. One brilliant flash and it's gone. Never trust a stockbroker who's married to a travel agent. The only time the world beats a path to your door is if you're in the bathroom. A husband is someone who takes out the trash and gives the impression he just cleaned the whole house. My next house will have no kitchen -- just vending machines. My blond girlfriend told me, "I was worried that my auto mechanic might try to rip me off, but I was so relieved when he told me all I needed was blinker fluid. I'm so depressed... I went to the Dr. today and he refused to write me a prescription for Viagra. Said it would be like putting a new flagpole on a condemned building. Fifteen minutes into flight, the pilot announced, "Ladies and gentlemen, one of our engines has failed. There is nothing to worry about. Our flight will take an hour longer than scheduled, but we still have three engines left." Thirty minutes later the pilot announced: "One more engine has failed and the flight will take an additional two hours. But don't worry, we can fly just fine on two engines." An hour later the pilot announced: "One more engine has failed and our arrival will be delayed another three hours. But don't worry, we still have one engine left." The blonde in seat 17A turned to the man next to her and said, "If we lose one more engine, we'll be up here all day!"
