I'm in a glorified closet getting my Remicade infusion today. I swear if I put closet rods up you would think "oh, what a nice closet". Haha. The nurse is fairly nice... but keeps acting like this is my first infusion when I ask her questions. It's fairly annoying since I've had this done at this clinic since starting 2.5 years ago... but never in this overflow room.

Hope everyone is doing alright today.

I guess it's nice that it's private.

I suppose, NSSG. It's not bad really, just thought it was kind of funny to be in here.

Is there a door or is it an open closet?

At first I thought you were going to post that you made a huge mistake in recently getting married to a woman. ;)

I thought he was going to grow some MJ in his closet for medicinal purposes.

I actually gave a loud chuckle to these posts. I wasn't sure what it meant either ha! I too have been in a closet for my Remi -- overflow is what they called it as well. :-)

I had the exact same thought as Fruitgirl !

Hahaha... it didn't even come across my mind about the whole "closet" thing and any other meaning. Made you all look though, didn't I?! ;)

Yes, there was a closet door. It was always kept open though. I believe they called the closet a "consultation room". Perhaps... if they are consulting someone to find out if they're claustrophobic it sure would work.

Been a busy day. Sorry I started this up and didn't get back for a bit!!

That is on my list of options. Right now it would be either that, Humira or Simponi. Chances are about 50/50 I'd guess that the last two of those cause the same reaction as I am getting now. Either I'm intolerant to the mouse protein somewhat and those two would be okay, or all anti-TNFs will do that to me.

My logical thought procession has been this, as far as a plan goes:
1. Sell my dad and I's business.
2. Spend half a year becoming healthier (meditation, natural eating, exercise) in a better way that I can right now due to time constraints.
3. Have met a couple surgeons locally and be positive minded if it comes to that (if the others fail and I can't go back on Remi).
4. Then make a choice between one of those three, and hope for the best.

I aim to begin college this fall if the business sale goes through. It was supposed to be done ten days ago, but there are a lot of little nit-picky things that need to be gone through by the buyer's bank first, and we're pretty busy operating things so sometimes we can't get back to them for a couple days.

Here's to hoping a new lifestyle and drug together allow me remission AND relief from pain!

Thoreau,
What are you going to major in, and what are your career aspirations?

Thoreau,

My studies would be focused on entrepreneurship and gaining in-depth knowledge of strategies for business management. I will be focused on forming a network of mentors and peers to collaborate with as I search for a business to either buy or start on my own (if I have a lucrative idea). The ultimate goal is to be thoroughly versed in the many ways of thinking about business, and to be an owner of a business that has in place employees that run and manage it. My goal is to be the strategist and financial brain behind the business, spending my time on those things I most enjoy.

I cannot guarantee going to college for a few years is the best route for me given that I already know a good portion of what they will teach. However, I see the possibility of being taught theories and strategies that could make the difference between one good or bad choice that would make or break my next venture. While taking classes I will be networking and spending any extra time (besides time with my wife and responsibilities) reading extra books, articles, magazines etc... and taking binders full of notes and ideas.

My passion for these things is extremely strong.
