Roll call..want to make sure everyone is ok

I'm here, although in a little bit of pain. Everyone in the office has
been sick - I dodged the stomach virus (thank goodness), but the sinus-
y stuff got me. Luckily, I was scheduled for my yearly physical last
Friday, when the symptoms were just starting (little bit of post-nasal
drip & a dry cough). The doc gave me a prescription for a cough syrup/
decongestant so I could get the gunk out of my head before it turned
into an infection. I dropped it off at the pharmacy & went out with
some friends for dinner. When I went back to pharmacy, they told me
they couldn't fill the Rx, because they couldn't read doc's
handwriting - they would need to wait until Monday, when they could
call him for clarification. So I waited & got worse - I felt bad
enough to stay home Monday, but thought that I would get my medicine &
start feeling better. When I called pharmacy, they told me that they
had talked to the doc, but that they didn't have that medicine in
stock & would have to order it. So, finally, Tuesday, I got the
medicine, but it didn't help a whole lot, since I now had a full-blown
sinus infection/upper respiratory infection. Wednesday, I called the
doc's office to get them to call in an antib for me, since I had just
been there & now had icky mucus. Doc wasn't in, so they would have to
call the Rx in on Thurs. Meanwhile, Wed. was supposed to be my Humira
dose, but I knew not to take it, because of the infection. So here I
am now, achy & still sick (I am sooooo tired of coughing). If I don't
feel better PsA-wise by Monday, I may get a pred burst to hold me over
until I can take the Humira again. I totally hate doing that, because
the burst makes my psoriasis flare up really badly, even thought it
makes my arthritis calm down. A total catch-22, huh.

Anyway, sorry for the whine, but it has just been an all around crappy
week, what with Diane's passing & these illnesses stacking up like
cordwood.

Love you guys! Please give Diane's family my condolences.
