Just sayin, nothing against Cal but Ruffian is my proof reader, back checker and is usually, but not always, right when I mess up something. I was waiting for her to yield to his notes but nope. Please don't anyone shy away from checking me out on anything I say here or do here. Heck fire I'm 74 and I'm losing a bit of my razors edge . . . uhhh if I ever had one it's in my head.
We have a lot to be thankful for. Patty had a good check up today with her new Nephrologist since she had some labs recently that sparked a consult with him. That puts her terrific medical care team to 7 Specialists. I must say they are excellent in all that they do for her. And everyone at the local CVS Pharmacy knows us well. Her numbers for her kidney function alerted a couple of them to dig deeper but findings today were not alarming. Her Wegener's Disease, now called Granulomatosis with polyangiitis,(Yep???) flared up a couple of months ago after managing it for 8 years now. Her second flare up after initial diagnosis (roughly every 4yrs of so). Four infusions of Retuxan (1 a week for 4 weeks) usually takes care of it after giving a couple of months kick in. So the team of two amazing docs will help beat this down to normality, if there is normality at all anymore, and I will give a toast at our unusually small Thanksgiving Dinner at my daughters house (just 4 of us) to the Docs for keeping her as sound and well as she can be . . . and I'll probably shed a tear before I get it all out. That coupled with Parkinson's since 2012 has not been a easy ride for her. Both serious autoimmune diseases, so we keep her very much under wraps (masks) when we go anywhere at all during this crazy Covid time. Usually with the downers and the challenges, there's always good that appears that you just have to find, celebrate and be thankful for. I lift my glass to all of you for helping me enjoy this forum diversion in a sport that Patty and I love dearly. At times if I didn't have this and my Clemson Tigers to get excited about and occupy some of my time it would make my life a little harder to bare. But I'm OK and most importantly, Patty is OK. HAVE A SAFE AND HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!! See y'all in the gate next Saturday.  And someone please try and get in touch with Roamin. He's had recent health issues.
