Hello Friends!
Well, this is NOT going to be an easy road to travel down! This started as a very small rash on my leg, near my knee, about the size of a dime. As you have seen, by now, it's covering my body and it's NOT A PRETTY THING! I've already told you that it started on 10-22-12, that will be 4 weeks tomorrow. After the first week, it just started spreading like a wild fire. I had no control over it at all!  Now, I've been on antibiotics for 9 days, anti-itch medication for the same length of time and the steroid dose pack for 5 days, with one more day to go. It doesn't look TOO MUCH BETTER!

There is a VERY SLIGHT IMPROVEMENT in the way I'm feeling. I'm not itching AS MUCH as I was, some of the sores are faded a tiny bit, and they are a little LESS PAINFUL then they were. I think I told everyone that I don't have Medical Insurance, so I couldn't afford the prescription cream that cost $450.00, even with all of my discounts. Well, last night, MY SON PICKED IT UP FOR ME AND DROPPED IT OFF! GOD BLESS HIM, HE'S A LIFE SAFER!  I didn't know he was doing that, I would NOT have let him, he knew THAT! But, he did and I do Thank God now, b/c this cream was greatly needed. After just one application, I can feel the difference. Not a big difference, but a difference none the less. Now, I just have to finish my medications, which will be tomorrow, and I will go back to the Dr.'s on Tuesday or Wednesday.

It's going to be a LONG, HARD ROAD TO RECOVERY!! I understand this and I'm willing to go down this road, but I needed to at least feel something was changing. It is, and I don't know how long it will take, but I WILL be Mystic's MaMa again! She doesn't know what's going on, she's very confused. She doesn't understand where I am when I don't take her on her walks or outside  to do her business real fast. But....she DOES UNDERSTAND that I'm sick! She stays right next to me in the house and she doesn't go anywhere if I'm not going too!  Please don't stop the prayers? I so appreciate them, and I thank you so much for all the prayers you've said and all the future prayers you will say.

I put up a photo of Mystic this time, wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving!  I hope you have that image in your mind on Turkey Day and NOT the last one that I posted. Mystic is MUCH CUTER TO LOOK AT!!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING FRIENDS!!
