I guess you have figured out by now that if I don't write in my blog, that I'm not feeling good. I've been sick since May 13 but am beginning to feel better now. My doctor wanted to wean me off of my steroids, but I just can't do it. I get sick and run down and just not human. So I'm on half of a steriod and am beginning to feel better. I am also extremely weak, but I think that is my blood sugar and I go to a class on Monday with my new little meter and an education class on what to eat and not eat. Hopefully this will help. So, my calendar is already filling up. I still can't drive by myself so Travis or Gary take me. Thank goodness that I have a family who takes care of me. Jennifer will help during the summer when she is not teaching.

My treatments are going to be paid for now. Gary called our BCBS rep and she gave him a number for my doctor to give the prescription to. They are shipping it to me, so after another education class at the doctors I should be starting my treatments. MDAnderson did call me today and if everyone did their job I might already be there. I know they ordered the biopsy to be sent to them but something delayed them.

We are still getting bids on our AC unit, so we are getting closer.

Thursday I do not go anywhere but I go to my oncologist on Friday. I will let you know what she says.

See you all later.
