My mom's back went out while we were in Boston. The doctor told her that she has degenerative disk disease and some arthritis. Unfortunately, she is almost bedridden and is on Vicodin and Valium to help with the pain. I am having a terrible time taking care of her and the house and her business and Amelia too. Tomorrow I am taking her to a spinal pain clinic. I hope they can help. Ross is terrified that I am going to wear myself out and get really sick. Frankly, I am too. I am so freaking tired.
Everything is so complicated. I am not supposed to be in crowds or around sick people
so when I take my mom to the doctor, I have to bring Amelia and sit in the car while she goes in. I drove around for 2 hours on Thursday waiting for her.
I am also losing some hair. It isn't noticeable on my head, but when I shower quite a bit is falling out. Ugh.
And Ross sold his share in his company on Friday and thought he was going to get a contracting position right away, but the new company didn't have an answer for him. I hope he hears something soon.
I am just so sick of our lives being so chaotic.

Good Weekend
It was a really nice weekend.
Yesterday morning Ross and I went back to our house and gathered up a few more things to bring to my moms. We also got my car so I will be able to drive myself to my labs. I am hopeful that I will stay feeling good enough to be able to do that. The Cytoxin has made me a bit nauseated everyday around noon, and I would say I have been getting progressively more tired each afternoon. However, I have been doing tons of Amelia's care on my own and have been really active, so some of my fatigue might be from that. Today was actually the first time I have had to nap in about a week.
Last night Robin and Adam came over and we had a fantastic time. They brought pizza. I made bubble tea and we talked for several hours while Jackie and my mom looked after Amelia. As much as I hated to quit breastfeeding, it was pretty nice for someone else to be able to feed her while I talked with my friends.
The prednisone is making my face look awfully round and fat. They call it 'moonfaced'. I am also getting more facial hair. Ick. Well, since dog training is out for a while, maybe I can apply for a 'freak' position at the state fair. I don't think that requires anything more strenuous than smiling politely at people.
