Mon & Tues

Worked both days, but was really tired afterward. Millie, Theresa & Bud stopped by Mon and took Mom out to dinner. I took a nap while they were gone and Jan and I had Pizza. It's hard to find things to eat that actually taste good. The pizza wasn't great but better than a lot of things.

Sunday

Not as good as yesterday, but not as bad as last time. Energy and appetite are down and in general just feel kinda crappy. The cold, grey, wet weather may be contributing.

Saturday

A surprisingly good day compared to last time. I did the grocery shopping and then picked up a pot for Jan's little palm tree. I want to go spray some Round-up after I finish this.

OK, here are some pictures. The hair mostly fell out, but not completely, so Jan's friend Nelaine came over and gave me a buzz cut.

Before:

During

After

Bald & skinny

Friday

Had to go to the doctor's office at 10:00 for a shot to jump start my immune system. Seems strange after years of methotrexate to tone down my immune system to prevent arthritis and polymyositis.
Went to work afterward and had a good day. A little tired after.

Thursday

2nd treatment done, 4 more to go. The treatment went well, partly because I felt better to begin with and partly because it was shorter. 7 hours instead of 8 1/2.
No adverse effects yet other than a drop in energy level, but they usually don't kick in until the 2nd day after. It can't take much more hair from my head, it's pretty close to gone. Something to look forward to.

Wednesday

See Mon. & Tues.

Mon & Tues

Nothing much to report the last couple of days. Work, eat, sleep, lose more hair.
