Updates to begin the week
One good thing all the rain we’re having is doing. It is stopping the idiots from setting off fireworks. We can only hope that their enthusiasm for blowing things up wanes and peace continues. If we’re real lucky, all they have left got wet.
Lucy is happy.
Three more days of rain predicted.
Fourth injection of Rebif for The Curmudgeon. He actually drove himself to his pain management appointment. He is still having trouble walking but not as visibly as before. Let’s hope this continues.
The damned squirrels ate all the plum tomatoes and most of the regular ones even with the plants caged in chicken wire. Picture below taken before I put up the chicken wire.
Second injection of Rebif.
Woke to The Curmudgeon on the phone again. “I’m down in the back yard. Can you come and help me up?”
Told him to wait for me to get dressed. I was NOT going outside in my PJs.
I quickly dressed, closed my bedroom window, turned on my bedroom AC, turned off the whole house fan, turned on the other upstairs air conditioner, closed the window in his room and headed downstairs. I closed the front door, turned on the AC in the living room, grabbed his walker, and headed out to the backyard to find him.
Didn’t have to go far. He and Lucy were right outside the back door. She was patiently sitting beside him.
He said she nudged him from time to time, “get up Daddy!” I manged to get him in the house without injuring my back again. Yay me.
He did his second injection of Rebif in the evening. Now we wait to see how he is with two injections under his belt.
Lucy spent the rest of the day keeping an eye The Curmudgeon. 
Keep your fingers crossed.
So today The Curmudgeon started using Rebiff, interferon beta-1a. This is another injection drug, although this one is subcutaneous and given 3 times a week.
