    Logan and I both had Dr. appointments with Dr. Hall today.  He had his 2nd HPV vaccine, and we both had our blood pressure readings.  Logan's was 119/80, and mine was 117/73.  I had blood work taken again to check my cholesterol.  It was high again.

    My Dr. appointment with Dr. Frascone was at 8:30 today.  I arrived a little after 8 and got right in.  I wish all Dr.'s were like him and Dr. McMath.  Only had to have a shot in my right foot.  Had it in the top of my foot, and that hurt!  Left foot is good though.  The bump is still there, but Dr. thinks in time it will heal and eventually go away.  The bump turns purple, and is slightly painful, but it is not nearly as big as it once was.  Was in my car by 8:35 and on my way home.

    Dr. VanDellen

    I gave myself my Humira shots 4 days early this time on May 31st.  I just couldn't deal with the pain anymore, and it kept getting worse, so I called Dr. VanDellen to see if I could get in.  I was able to be seen by here today, June 2 at 11:00. She gave me a shot in my left shoulder, and the nurse gave me a prednisone shot in my right hip.  She also prescribed percocet 325/10.  She said she hadn't seen me in this much pain in a long time.  Went downstairs at St. John's, and had a chest x-ray too, then left and came straight home.  Stopped at the pharmacy and filled my prescription, then came home and took a percocet, and crashed in bed until it was time to get Logan from the bus stop.  He drove home, and I went back to bed until 7.  Stayed up for a couple hours, but went back to bed at 9.  Way to many medicines in my body today, but I really wasn't feeling to much pain anymore.
