Back to Reality:

After experiencing a swollen and painful

lymph node in my underarm...

Bells and whistles went off!

It was time for another Dr.'s visit.
(Do you like my invisible socks?..
Now I know why people stare when I walk by...)


This is my nurse for the day.
She took great care of me; taking my temperature,
my weight (oh boy!), my blood pressure,
asked me a lot of questions, and so on...

Here are a bunch of numbers that appeared
when I was hooked up...
(not sure what they all mean...)

My exam room.
Yea! I like the number 11.


Here I am listening intently to my Dr.
"Have you been staying out of the sun?" ~'yep'
"Have you been resting adequately?" ~'yes'
"Have you been keeping your stress levels to a minimum?"
~'aah, ya..'
"Have you been exercising?" ~'ya, a little bit'
(Denial... you gotta love it!)

Now we are in his office, so he can check my blood

tests, and go over a few things with me.

I am waiting, patiently, to see if maybe I will
be able to cut down on the amount of drugs
I have to take on a daily biases...


Dang! No luck...
Well, I guess I cannot complain.
It could be a lot worse... right?..


This is my doctor, Dr. David Hurwitz, MD.
He has been able to help me (form the very beginning)
with my Lupus, and has successfully been
able to get, and keep, my Lupus into remission.
Thank You, Dr. Hurwitz!!!
