Yes, the sun is part of it, but.........since it's considered a blood cancer, the first day of treatment they give me antibodies that kill off the cancer cells. The second day, they give me chemo that kills any of the white cells, then follow it with a shot to boost the body's manufacture of white cells. It causes pain in the bones, as well as lowering my immune system and kicking up my metabolism. That means stay away from sick people, kids (little germ factories), soil borne bacteria, mold in foods (no baked brie!), no buffets or salad bars, no raw fruits or veggies in restaurants and the list goes on and on. Anything that could cause bacterial contamination is off my good list for a while. Oh, well.

Yes, I always found school being out was 'exciting' but so was school being back in session and not having to deal with, "I'm bored".

Thanks for checking in Mary!
I tend to lurk and my access to the computer has been limited somewhat.
As soon as I finish re-arranging my bedroom ds can put my computer back together and in there.
Some days my hands/wrists are just too sore...:(
But I am here!
Nightangel,
I'm sorry to hear that your hands and wrists are bothering you.
Hopefully your ds will get that computer back up soon!
It's ALL the damp weather we are having.
It's been raining non-stop...:(
Days of it!
My ds let me borrow his computer...yeah!!!
I have RA (Rheumatoid Arthritis) and I don't know what's worse the pain or fatigue.
I hope soon the sun will shine...:)

Hope you feel better to!
