Well, I had my 4th infusion, which begins month 3 of remicade last Thursday. The infusion went fine. I had started on some steroids last Monday in preparation for a wedding I was in over this past weekend. I stopped the steroids Saturday and I am glad the wedding is over!
Honestly, everything went well and we did have fun. I was a bridesmaid, along with three other girls. All us girls, the bride, her mom and grandma gathered at the brides house Saturday morning. There was one girl doing our hair, we all had cute updo's and another girl doing our make-up. We all looked fabulous!!
We had some champagne and snacks and got the bride out the door on time so she and the groom could have a carriage ride and get some pictures of just the two of them. The rest of us got to the church about an hour later and did the picture thing. Everything went pretty smoothly. Its was a simple and short ceremony, lasting exactly 17 minutes according to my hubby! LOL!!
We did just a few more pictures after and walked the 50 feet or so to the reception. We had cocktail hour and horderves. Sat down for a nice dinner, did the cake thing. The DJ started and people drank, danced and had a good time!
It was a LONG day. At 1am the shuttle bus came and drove us drunk people to the hotel. It took Will a good 10-15 minutes to pick the zillion bobby pins outta my hair and I had to shower to get all the hair spray out and wash the 50 pounds of make-up off!
We had to pick the dogs up Sunday on the way home and than napped for like 3 hours! We went to bed early last night as well. I am tired and sore but it could be much worse.
All in all, everything was good. I even danced a bit. I drank just enough to be happy and ease the pain but not so much that I was too hung over or anything. I am definitely sore and swollen but honestly not nearly as bad as I has expected. Not sure if it was from the remicade or the week dose of steroids.
I am going to take it easy this week and recover and I would like to start slowly working out a little again next week. Lets hope I continue to improve. I was a little dazed this morning getting out of the house and forget my camera but hopefully I will remember it tomorrow and can post a few pictures! I had made all of the jewelry for us girls and everyone was raving about it, a little ego boast is always a good thing!
