Back Into Hell

[jiml]

It's been a crappy couple of weeks folks.
Recurring throat infections, terribly sore, bleeding gums.
Had to chase up my meds AGAIN!!!  
Had to pay for a new front door (long story, will tell it later, but quite funny really).
Been sleep deprived which has led back to anxiety.
Still losing weight.
Feet not getting any worse but still not getting me mobile to the point where cyclosporine did.
Feeling  

So not a good couple of weeks then    I think sleep deprivation and tiredness make everything seem worse. Throat infections as well make you feel wretched . I can relate to both of those.
Positives are you're losing weight and your feet are no worse.    and you have a new front door    
I hope you feel better soon. Have the driving lessons started yet , I only ask so I know when to stay off the roads

Lot of throat problems going around at the moment, can't get rid of mine, don't like losing sleep as it makes things much worse , as Jim says at least some positives !! . Have you decided what you are learning to drive in yet ?

Yep agree with that loosing sleep is not good, especially when you get in the circle of psoriasis getting worse, sleep getting worse and on it goes.  

Oh well you could make a nice table for your patio from the old door, depending where the letter box was you could shove the pole of your sunshade in it.

Now this made me laugh.

Going to send off for my provisional next month then book to start after the big school holidays.
Would have been sooner had I not had to pay out for a new door.

What happened was:
I went to collect Alex from school & it was a glorious day. A friend told me she was having people round with their children for a spontaneous party and I should come. So I jumped at the chance (well, walked slowly to be precise).
It was fab. Alex rarely gets to socialise but he was having a blast on the trampoline and in the pool with half a dozen other kids.
We adults sat back with wine, party food and some music just relaxing and chatting, as you do.
I texted Nick at some point just to let him know as he was at work.
Well......after getting a taxi home (not realising it was gone 11pm) I discovered two police officers in my house.
Unbeknown to me my O/H had not taken his phone or key out with him, couldn't get in and had been worried sick as to where we were.
Of course, to get in and check the house they had knocked a door panel through. Hence, a new door.
Talk about embarrassing.
Anyway, we can laugh about it now.

In the old days it wouldn't have been a problem, everyone had a spare key hanging on a piece of string just had to reach through the letter box to grab it. Bit pointless locking it really when you think about it.

Well.......a few weeks on and everything changes.
Seems that my liver does not like the MTX and I've been ordered off it.
On the one hand I am relieved as I had reservations about it anyway.
But that leaves me in the wilderness somewhat.
What next?
In the meantime, a relapse is inevitable whilst my body flushes out the drug.
Haven't I been here before???

On the downside:

Depending on my skin situation, I may not make it to Scotland in a few weeks. But I've told my O/H I will NOT cancel it. Don't see why he and Alex should miss out on a break.
Tomato plants didn't make it.
Driving lessons/volunteering on hold until I know what the next step will be.


On the plus side:

We didn't need a new door. A nice, professional guy replaced the panel for £30.
Alex had an amazing school report. Miles better than last year. So proud.
Sent off for my provisional ( ever the optimist ).
Got a tax rebate.

Oh.....and my eldest daughters trip to America went well.
Sneaky little mare got MARRIED to her American/Italian lover in Las Vegas!!!
Told myself and her Dad when she got back.
She's such a free spirit, you've just got to love her.

She's such a free spirit, you've just got to love her.  

I wonder where she gets it from.

Have they mentioned any of the Bio treatments to you ?
