    Wow

    That was a long day. 

    I am sorry about your uncle.  Was it from the COVID complications?

    Yes

    He was the one who got sick first, then gave it to my aunt. But she got it mild. We really thought it was a cold. I ran to the CVS on the corner and bought Cold Eeze that used to get my colds gone in a day or two. She had a few of those and her coughing stopped. He continued with the coughing. Said those lozenges gave him a dry mouth and I think he went on to pneumonia and got taken to the hospital. Two months there. He was OK last week. That morning, his blood pressure kept on going up. I think they said it went up to 300 and so it ended.

    So sorry for your loss

    So sorry for your loss Primavera. 

    That really was a long day for you. Make sure to rest when you need to. I suspect you feel good today due to the steroids. Don't be too concerned if you hit a fatigue stage sometime tomorrow. It is normal and gets better over time. I hope you continue to tolerate the treatments and get through everything without further damage to your heart.

    Thanks for the update. We are here for you.

    Love and Hugs,

    The steroids!

    I had forgotten about those. So yes, today I ate double of everything, I did a lot and waiting to see what hits me tomorrow. I don't think I have a lot of time to recover now because it's weekly treatments from now on for 3 months. Was it you who changed the weekly treatments to every 3 weeks? I can't do that or I would have a day like yesterday every time. Thanks for the hugs.

    Yes, that was me that went

    Yes, that was me that went from weekly to the standard every 3 weeks. Great memory! My steroid high lasted 1.5 days post treatment day. Almost to the hour every time. You will know it is coming. It feels like something pulled the energy plug out of your body. You will get into a routine fairly quickly. And, I know you will get through this. Take care.

    Love and Hugs,
