I was blessed this morning to have the opportunity to attend a wonderful church service. I went to church alone, which is unusual for me, I cannot recall the last time I went to church without my children but they were of course in my thoughts and prayers as they are always. Emeraude slept at [Read more]
this excruciating, dibilatating pain in my bones like I have rods being shoved up my legs, arms, my hands and feet being a pile of broken bones that if I could somehow keep in one piece I would get some break from it... I know that there are answers to me having [Read more]
When I finally got called in Mrs. Ormston had completely won Emeraude over ...and she (E) had no interest in accompanying me lol. Mrs. Ormston said she didn't mind her staying with her to play and I knew this was sincere and that she was in great hands so let Emeraude stay with her having fun... [Read more]
Well, I think it’s time for another IV Solumedrol treatment. Sunday I went for my first dilaudid injection in weeks (since the last steroid treatment at the end of March) and I have returned again yesterday and then again today. I have a lot of bone and joint pain and am feeling fatigue, [Read more]
...recipe for the colouring solution. I melted parafin wax which Emeraude used a shishkabob stick to draw with on some eggs, we dipped a couple into it (just the ends) and also just drizzled the wax randomly on others. Lots of fun, they look great, just need to pick up some inexpensive baskets from [Read more]

Well, my treatment was definitely successful…I’ve been scared too say that, scared to jinx it, scared that I might be wrong and have it fade after just a day or two but it would seem that I am free – for now. Last night I even went in for a shot of Dilaudid, partly worried [Read more]
Last night… Thought we’d go in at a decent time tonight as I have messed up Lloyd & Emeraude’s evenings/bedtimes during this whole treatment. Lloyd has badminton and so Emeraude came with me to MGH and I hoped to get her some supper at the cafeteria between IM Toredol and the [Read more]
day 3 steroid treatment did not go so well… the treatment was okay, the results PLtheRhhh (that’s a raspberry & thumbs down). my face really is as red as it appears on the photo :S (that’s the steroids). Emeraude was sweet enough to come keep me company as I received my [Read more]
I began my treatment this morning… tonight will go smoothly having had the solumedrol early in the day. I ate a few packs of crackers during the treatment (which was over the course of about an hour) and they seemed to settle my stomach. I was thrilled when, near the end of my treatment, I [Read more]
"...not been dealing with a significant amount of fatigue, mostly just pain and so am weary of getting my steroids as of yet (the potential risks of these long term are quite serious and so I have tried to always put them off for as long as possible)..." [Read more]
