Current Situation as of 5/11/09

First I want to say that I am sorry that I haven't been on lately. I was trying to get the outdoors ready for summer and still take care of everything. When you get so busy, something has to be pushed off to the side.
Second, we were able to cover our judgement. I forgot about this opportunity I had to get a loan but once I remembered, I was able to get the judgement covered. That crisis has been adverted.
Third, Dee's current cancer situation - Dee was doing a bit better. She was up to eating some soup every day and drinking some Boost. Then her doctor took her off of her steroid medicine, dexamethasone, a week and a half ago. This sent her spiraling back to not being able to eat and having a lot of nausea problems. She doesn't like to take pills so as soon has he said that she could stop, she went cold turkey. Her daily dose wasn't that high but she had been on it for 10 months so her body is going through drug withdrawal. She feels that she is almost through the withdrawal so she doesn't want to start back on and then wean off of the drug. As it is there are some drugs that she has never been able to get off like morphine. She just prefers to get off of all the drugs that she can, when she can.
