Hey Everyone. Merry Christmas!
As you all know if you read my posts, I have had a horrific month with painful rash from allergic reaction to Remicade. I am now back on Prednisone and after originally wondering if I would be able to do my Christmas cooking with this rash on my hands, wonderful Prednisone has kicked in and today, Christmas Eve, I feel wonderful! My son is helping by doing most of the dishwashing cleanup since I need to keep my biopsy site dry. This morning I have made my Butterfinger Chocolate Trifle (Grandkids favorite), got the ham in the oven, the giblets are cooking for the dressing, the Christmas cookies are made and decorated. Life is good. When I get through today, all I will have to do tomorrow is bake the turkey and make the gravy. Seems the Good Lord always comes through for us and gives us what we need to carry on.
Merry Christmas to you all. You have all been a source of great comfort, support, and knowledge since I joined DS. God bless you each and everyone.
Hugs,
Frances

I have always been a do'er. I drive myself into the ground until I literally fall down. And I know it is stupid of me to be like that. I am a type A personality.
Not sleeping very well from the pred. Up the last two nights until after 2 AM. But at least I am feeling better.
So sorry that you have been saddled with the crud over the holiday and I hope you are feeling much better soon. You take care of yourself.
Hugs,
Frances
Let's hope we all have a better new year. Less pain and more friends.
Hugs,
Frances
