Day 25 -- New Old Friend

I reconnected w/ a friend that I haven't seen or talked to in about six months.  It feels so wonderful to have this person back in my life.  I hate losing contact w/ friends even though I have lost touch w/ many over the years and even though I know it's a natural evolution for some relationships.  I think another positive by-product of my diagnosis is to not take any relationship for granted.  Enjoy the company and companionship of people as much as we can for as long as we can.  I'm not going to lose sleep when relationships "go south."  I don't need that stress or that drama.  I'm going to try very hard to keep positive people in my life.

On a physical note, my lower back is "catching" again.  Sometimes when I bend over at the waist, I have a shooting pain that feels like if I don't catch myself from bending all the way over, I'll just break in two.  I've had this pain before when I had some problem w/ some discs.  I hope that's all it is, and that a few trips to the chiropractor will set me right.  Since Rituxin is also used for Rheumatoid Arthritis, I can't believe this back pain is a result of it.
