fingers, toes, eyes, arms, legs all crossed and i'm even considering
braiding my hair like a hundred little dreadlocks, for added measure, and a
lit candle, prayers and positive healing thoughts, so that "you and rituxan
will be compatible dance partners" for a long time to come.<smile>

I was feeling so lousy that I was not sure I

Hi Duckie,,,,  Feel that????  Its all of us pulling for you. None of us will
accept that you are a pitiful person because we know you,,,, the real you
and how you feel is not going to change that.    Again,,,, all of us would
be shaky with a new treatment.   Just like on the dance floor, you will go
right in like you own the place with a dancers walk which can not be changed
even with a slight limp.
   I do not know anything about all this and I hope you will give us all
the details.

Sending happy thoughts, warmth, energy and whatever else you need.

well, the rituxan must be in you by now.  I'm sending lots of thoughts and
prayers that it is working magic in your veins and joints and muscles and
tendons at this very moment.  It's so sad that you can't dance this week, but
I think you were wise to lay low.  All the pre-moving work has been such a
stress on your body.

Good luck, Duckie!!!  I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!!!
Carol

Duckie, pray the Rituxan works wonderfully well for you and that you can
return to your dancing without a problem.  Good luck on the house.

Not too bad. Really. And about an hour in, I woke up
cause my hands felt funny. Turned out they had stopped
hurting. I could make a fist. It didn't hurt to rap on
the bathroom door [no lock on that thing for some
reason]. Yes I know. Way too earlier. Not suppose to
feel something until next week. So maybe the nap
unswelled my hands. yeah that is it.
First thing they do is put in the iv and take blood.
Need to check your WBC. Mine is never high and this
stuff is supposed to lower it. Hope it holds well
enough to get in all four doses. Dose one down and
three to go.
Didn't have so much as a cough or a wheeze. Did take my
inhaler just in case. Two of the nurses are pregnant
and couldn't come near the stuff which is interesting.
Wonder if that means that if you are in the able to
produce baby category that this is not a good choice.
Wonder how long it stays in the blood [thinking Arava
here and its two year life].
All in all I feel all right. Tired but all right.
Actually made it to my Pilates class tonight. Had to
use lower springs but was there.
Thanks for all the good wishes. I could feel you all
there with me.
