I ain't no lizard...I don't do that tongue thing!!!!

Yeah, well...Eddie (the dragon in Mulan) you will...if you take anti-PD1!!!!!  It's not so bad this time...no lesions, but definitely weird!!  Felt REALLY bad today. Even made Brent check to make sure I didn't have strep...which I don't. I know I have cold, but oh my...this has been rather bad.  I had to take off from work today and I only missed one day off work with the past 6 months of therapy.  Back aches, head aches, just generally YUCK!!!  Might as well go to work tomorrow...staying off didn't change much.

Thanks to Rose and Ruthie for cheering conversation.  And thanks to Katherine for sending this to Roo...but I liked it...so thought I would share it with you. Complete plagiarism here...don't even know who to credit...but here goes....
