Thanks Lois,
I always feel like "Wonder Woman" a few days after IVIg...it's Sunday and I feel great, dare I say "normal"? Hope you had a great weekend.
Gabe

Well, I'm back, and will probably have to take tomorrow off to recover from the vacation. We went to Chattanooga and saw Rock City and the Aquarium. The rest of the family also saw Ruby Falls, but I didn't attempt that one since I knew I could never keep up.
We used a wheelchair at the aquarium, and I just loved it. Rock City was fascinating and beautiful also, though I had to "cane" it through. We just piddled along at my very slow pace, getting over when other groups started to back up behind us. I can't believe I made it through, but I did.
Had a great time, but don't want to go so far again. That long of a ride really tired me out just by itself.

Lois glad to hear you had a good time "but don't want to go so far again. That long of a ride really tired me out just by itself." You sound just like me. Staying home has become one of my favorite places

Like your new picture. Who are the people?

That's me and one of my grands. Altogether I have 7 grandkids, and enjoyed very much spending time with all 7 plus my 3 kids, plus their 2 spouses (one is divorced), on the vacation. We camped, and had a wonderful time.
However, next year I think we'll camp out at Land Between the Lakes. It's practically local, maybe an hour away, and beautiful.

Oh, so that is you and one of your grand children. Very good. Where does the red hair come from? How nice to have 7 grand children. We have one grand child and love her to pieces. They are so precious. Good to hear you had a good time on your vacation.

There's a lot of Irish in my background, as well as my husband's family. Plus the girl's father is a red-head, so take your pick!
Getting back to the topic of this thread ( ), I guess it's time for an update. I've been taking a regular Mestinon at bedtime, and another one when I get up to go to the bathroom, if that happens to be about the right time. It's working a lot better. MUCH better than the Timespan.
Hugs,

Okay Irish lady. I myself have never tried timespan, but have heard it can be tricky. Currently I have not had to used any Mestinon at night. Glad to hear the plain Mestinon works for you at night.
