Happy me! Yummy kitchen smells!

Spent all day 9/11 on planes, not eating. Stuff available on planes and in airports is generally Lyme-diet-illegal.

Upon arrival, blithely assured everyone that "Sure I can eat at a Ruby Tuesday's; go just about anywhere and I'll find SOMEthing I can eat." Boy did I learn my lesson! I did eat, but I had something like two choices, of which I nixed one -- the salad bar -- because it was 6pm and I needed FAT AND PROTEIN THANKYOU.

Have now installed myself in Boston and promptly begun cooking. Spinach/tomato/onion frittata was shared with my mom this morning; a double batch of palak paneer just came off simmer; cream of asparagus soup is running in the crock; ingredients for Senate bean soup and another double batch of palak paneer are waiting for later. My feet are tired. I will probably go fetch ingredients for onion roast pretty soon, too. My mom's not a big meat eater, but my dad is, and my mom will be OK with scarfing down the scrumptious onion soup that forms at the base.

Happy me. :-)

LOL - indeed :) You even have the grade to prove it.

I'm going to run some math on the numbers before my next appointment, and I'm going to ask some more pointed questions based on the results. It's difficult to draw clear conclusions, though, because I wasn't quantifying and logging my pain levels before treatment. The fact that for four days I had noticeably better pain levels -- four days out of, so far, about twenty weeks -- may indeed be something hopeful. I don't know the medicine. All I know is that those four days sure don't move the average a whole lot.
