Today is the day I usually take my weekly metho. Due to elevated liver enzymes my rheumy tols me to go off it for a month and then have enzymes rechecked. In 2 weeks I go off Enbrel so I can have hip replacement.
By the end of the month I'm going to be a real mess.
I know, I have been there before. In 2001 I had chemo & radiation for cancer. Had to go off meds then. When chemo was done and surgery was over I was a mess.
Please, anyone who believes in the power of prayer, please pray for me. I know it works.

Something amazing happened yesterday. I met a lady that lives about 3 miles from me. We have so much in common. Our names are the same. She decorated cakes for years until her parkinsons wouldn't let her, I did until the RA stopped me. Last year in September she almost died because of the bad fentanyl patches, in September I almost died because of infection. We both know that God brought us through and that the power of prayer is phenomenal. She is in a wheelchair and I use both a walker and a chair.
I just guess God wanted to let me know I wasn't alone.
He always comes through.
