oopps lazy, you started my thread for me..........
i looked at this title and thought what......? i am on the wrong forum.......LOL!!!!
been meaning to start a thread on my immunotherapy progress, my apologies. i will get this going under a new name for the thread here in this great new forum. thanks for the kick in the pants lazy, i deserved it, and really,
thanks for caring! i am on monthly injections now, last months injections went well except for the honey bee injection, i always get a large welt from this. my next injections are next week, wednesday afternoon, l will have a thread started and going on this by then so everyone can follow along, and keep updated as to my progress.
my brother? thank you for asking, ef has asked as well. my brother will not be able to work for at least a year with the injury sustained to his leg. this is unfortunate, at least he didn't have to have it amputated. not sure if he will ever be able to go back to driving a log truck or work in the woods. he is struggling with his financial obligations and much more than that, and sometimes does not take my calls, i can't push this right now, hard to explain. sometimes family dynamics are complicated. we are close, and in time, he will come around and say to me how sorry he was for not taking my calls. i get it, i understand.
for those that don't know what lazy shooter is referring to, i am an allergic beekeepeer who developed an allergy to honey bees and all stinging insects in the spring/summer of 2012. i suffered anaphylactic reactions, and have been undergoing venom immunotherapy ( 3 injections per week, now monthly) since last january (2013). i cannot work bees until my doc says it's safe to do so.
my brother.....he was on a mountain side in montana exploring in a side by side with a group of his friends, his grandson strapped in beside him. my brother stopped, unstrapped and got out to help another behind him. when he stepped back up on the side by side, and before he could strap back in, the side by side rolled numerous times down a mountain side and rolled over him, and he kept hanging on, because of his grandson. (grandson not a scratch and unharmed). my brother suffered multiple compound fractures to his right leg. it took them hours to get him down the mountain side (remote area) and hours before he could receive emergency room help and surgery. (10 hours) he is very blessed he is alive and very blessed not to have had the leg amputated. another brother, present in the emergency room, told me when they cut his boot off, bone and bone fragments fell from the boot. i flew home (montana) when i got the call. lots of surgery and pins and all sorts of metal in his leg. he is fortunate to be alive.
and lazy,
thanks for asking and giving me the incentive to start the thread!
