Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / June 2006Nervous Duckie here
Spent the afternoon alone [John in flight to San Antonia for business] signing over one hundred sheets of paper to put in an offer on a home here. Doubt if we will get this one but we have learned a lot in a short time. My hand hurts but I am on my third glass of wine so beginning to feel better. lol Hope I sleep tonight. And no - I don't know if I want you to pray for a yes outcome or a no outcome. lol Must be the wine speaking. Duckie >And no - I don't know if I want you to pray for a yes outcome or a no >outcome. lol Must be the wine speaking. I think I will be praying for reasonable mortgage payments! Yikes I can only imagine prices in the Bay area. Keep us posted on how this goes. -- MZ >Keep us posted on how this >goes. -- MZ How do you like the area? I am also praying that Jeff will be working for Pixar soon. -- MZ Did I not mention Jeff's job? He starts for TellTale Games on June 20th with benefits and all. He has been working as a contractor for a couple of companies and was busy but always worried when the jobs were over and nothing to do for a week. lol Now he is worried he will be fired the first day on the job. Always something. Duckie >>Keep us posted on how this >>goes. -- MZ > > How do you like the area?

He has been working as a contractor for a couple >of companies and was busy but always worried when the jobs were over and >nothing to do for a week. No you did not mention it until now! You have been holding out on us. Great to hear he landed a good job with benefits, now maybe you can start thinking about grand kids, assuming he makes it past the first week of his job.....LOLOL Jennifer must be very happy maybe in 30 to 50 years they can afford a mortgage. So did they accept your offer???? I did a great trip on the Owyhee this spring, that river is one of my favorites, spectacular... one of the most beautiful and remote desert rivers. We are busy, busy preparing to do the Tatshenshini in Alaska, a 12 day raft trip and we will be picked up by plane. This is the most remote trip we have ever done, so we are excited. There should be loads of brown bear and moose. If John gets some time off he should join us for one of the shorter trips maybe another Rogue trip. -- MZ Can't believe I didn't -- I think I emailed the world. lol Won't know about the house for a bit. They are taking offers tomorrow evening. I spent the day collecting paper work and then driving up to San Mateo to the money guy. He gave me more paper work but that can't be finished signing till John returns. The good news is that we signed papers for him last December when we were first here so he has those albeit out of date. I cleaned out my private savings account today in preparation for writing the 3% check. John couldn't get into his in time before he left so I emptied mine. Sure hope the fee for going below the min is not too bad. I guess that is the least of my worries. Also went birthday shopping for my brother. Then tried to get boxes out of the rafters for shipping. Did something funny to my thumb on my left hand. I have iced it and then rummaged around till I found a finger brace that fits the thumb to keep it straight. Feels better that way for now. With luck all will be better tomorrow. Sure hope I sleep well tonight. It has been a restless few. John has been looking at sea kayaks. Your friend that white water canoes -- what brand of sea kayak does he have? John found most felt sluggish and the vendor told him that was probably because he was used to the white water canoe and had great balance. Therefore he didn't need the balance help some kayak afford which tends to make them not respond quickly. But the ones he tried that were more responsive put his feet or knees to sleep. So we are still a two canoe family. lol Email him and ask him if he wants to go on a short run. It is still the duke addy. Duckie > No you did not mention it until now!

You must have been so excited, you had to get the email off fast! LOL That's great news that he has a full blown job. Hopefully once he gets past the first month, the fears of losing it immediately will pass! Keep us posted on the house.  SignatureNann remove the Gator cheer to email me Simply the thing I am shall make me live --- William Shakespeare Been trying to recover from last week. I was exhausted and after all that we did not get the house. They counteroffered two of us and our counteroffer to the counteroffer was the low one. They called and said if we would go 10K above our counter we could have it. I said no way was I going to play that game. So I have been laying low and resting. Hope I won't have to do that again without John being home. Of course, some of the running around was to get the mortgage guy up to speed and now that is done and won't need to be redone but still... I am still tired. Frankly, I have been that way since I dropped from 8mg to 7mg and that was over a month ago. I seem to have energy in the morning which is odd but by 1 I am just sitting. Maybe a nap. I haven't been able to actually nap during the day in this house since we moved. And no, I have no idea why. Duckie >>Can't believe I didn't -- I think I emailed the world. lol > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Keep us posted on the house. Hunh. We're selling our house in Gainesville - got two offers Thursday but our agent told us we could only counter on one of them. Didn't matter too much for us though as he advised against countering on the one seeking VA financing anyway. I wonder if it's just because the market is so hot out there that they allow it or what. Heh, we can't believe what our little chinchbug house is selling for - twice what it was valued at when we left 6 years ago, 4x the value back in 1990. It's just nuts. Hey, if you can't figure out a way to nap in your current place, can you split your pred dose and have an afternoon "booster"? Or maybe just have a "quiet hour" in the afternoon, doing nothing but listening to quiet music or such. Sometimes even when I can't nap that will help a bit. Then again - the balance I'd happily found for a couple of years has fallen all to pieces the past 5-6 months, so what do I know?

Sorry to hear that. > Duckie well, it seems teh fibro has been flaring ever since we took me off the mtx thanks to my albumin dipping alarmingly low. makes me wonder more about the inter-relationship between PsA and fibro (or fibro-like symptoms). Don't see my RD again until early August - I hope I get him again rather than the PA as he's more informed for such discussions. SignatureNann remove the Gator cheer to email me Simply the thing I am shall make me live --- William Shakespeare The housing market is insane! When my Mom and I were selling the house we had it on the market and no one offered us near what the real estate had it going for. Now, it's like if you want a house you have to put an offer in that's at least 10K over the asking price. I just moved into a new apartment. I'm SO glad the move is over. I don't think I could have taken another day of all the stress. Thank God for friends!! I never could have done it alone. My hip was killing me and with the shortness of breath I have from my congestive heart failure, I could only do a little at a time. My friends were great though. They came and took stuff to the dumpster for me and helped pack and load up the cars. Now I'm in my nice new apartment which I love even though on my first morning a pipe burst and the water from my shower flooded the apartment downstairs. So now I have no shower. They have to come and fix it tomorrow. But I've decided that tomorrow I'm going to stay in my robe all day and have, what they call in England, a lie in. I'm going to do nothing but put my feet up and relax! And Duckie, you'll have to come and visit! I have DUCKS!!!! :-))) There is a pond behind my apartment and the ducks come out of the pond every afternoon to sun themselves. They lay right under my deck :-)) They are so cute! :-)) Carole > Been trying to recover from last week. I was exhausted and after all > that we did not get the house.

Was worried over you and glad it is now done. Was trying to have a lie in this morning when John woke me because the gardner had finally arrived after I asked him for help over a month ago. I supervised his pruning and weeding and I cut back the rose bushes. The place looks grand and I am tired but it is a different tired which is good. Duckie > The housing market is insane!

I have a lot of boxes here, but I am just going to slowly unpack it all. My friends are coming over later as there is still stuff in the trunk of my car and they are going to help me unpack and put stuff away :) > Was trying to have a lie in this morning when John woke me because the > gardner had finally arrived after I asked him for help over a month ago. > I supervised his pruning and weeding and I cut back the rose bushes. The > place looks grand and I am tired but it is a different tired which is good. > Duckie Sounds pretty :)) And yes, there is a good tired :) BTW, my ducks are quacking outside my window this morning. You would just LOVE this place, Duckie!! Hugs, Carole A Woman With Ducks :) i'm sorry to hear this, duckie. sounds like no fun at all. are you talking about dropping to 7 mg on remicade? how come? diane > i'm sorry to hear this, duckie. sounds like no fun at all. > > are you talking about dropping to 7 mg on remicade? how come? > > diane I think it was her pred she dropped on, in her continuing quest to maintain at a lower dose. SignatureNann remove the Gator cheer to email me Simply the thing I am shall make me live --- William Shakespeare No prednisone. You wouldn't think that one little mg would make this much difference. I am at 5mg of Remicade and holding there due in large part to Rituxan. Duckie > i'm sorry to hear this, duckie. sounds like no fun at all. > > are you talking about dropping to 7 mg on remicade? how come? > > diane I hope your energy comes back soon and you recover from last week soon.

I don't envy you trying to buy a home in the CA market! Friends from high school have lived in San Ramon for about 20 years now - I think periodically about how their home value has increased in that time! Damn, I envy you the wine! When they took me off mtx due to low albumin levels, I was hoping I'd be legal to drink again, but my albumin still runs low so I haven't dared to start tippling more.
