Hugs. Be careful with the prednisone and whom at the insurance company do I need to call and chew out for you, because I will, and I will win and you will have your meds.

You're in my thoughts and prayers. Thank goodness your mother is there to help you physically and lift your spirits. You are an inspiration to all of us who read your blog. I work for Abbott Labs which makes Humira. They have a prescription payment assistance program if your insurance continues to balk. How insurance companies feel ethically or any way entitled to make medical decisions that supercede your doctors' is beyond any understanding. Rest and take care and know all of us are urging you on in such a trying time. I've had lupus for 4 years now and have been knitting for about 2. Knitting has helped so much. Hopefully soon you will be strong enough to return to your knitting. You can always dream about your next projects while resting, anyway. Another thing I do that helps is read humor books, particularly Dave Barry whose humor is just plain silly. Laughter eases a great deal. Sending you many wishes for getting much, much better as fast as possible. (Of course I'd enjoy hearing from you some day, but please save your strength now for getting better. With Betst Regards, Beth Dear Alison,

I sure don't miss American health insurance! Especially these days, when I am likely racking up quite an expensive bill, somewhere. There's a lot of runaround with socialized medicine, but so far I've barely paid anything. I shudder to think what would happen if I still lived in CA. Take care, and keep the faith! You have survived, and thrived in the past, and you will do so again. I have complete faith in you. Plus, you've got your Mom there! ;) I’m glad yo’re feeling a bit better, and I hope the funding from your insurance comes through! I sure don’t miss American health insurance!

Hope you feel better very soon. And please, let your husband deal with the insur. co. - he's bigger...or, maybe Shaquile O'Neal...he could get some cooperation for you, I'm sure! :) Having gone through health situations too, I know how you have to just keep trying things till you find the one that works so...can't wait till you get to try the Humira and hope your days are full of knitting again very soon...till then, I'm so glad your mother could be with you...it's nice to have the company as well as the tender care! Please just rest and get well...no response necessary. :) Best wishes and prayers...we need you back on your feet/needles again ASAP! :) Abby Just wanted to send a bright, cheery, sunny get-well wish your way!
