The hummingbirds have gone. There may be a straggler or two, so I've still got one feeder out. But, I haven't seen a hummer since Saturday. I brought the other four feeders in, cleaned them up, and put them away until next year. I always expect to feel a bit of relief when they've gone—it gets a little frantic when they are going through about 15 cups of nectar per day. The relief lasts only a flash—I miss them already. The way time flits by, 6 months will pass quickly, and I'll be watching anxiously for my first visitor.
I have another "treatment" scheduled for October 17th. I have the urine collection, and lab work done, and I have the antidote Rx on hand. The motel reservation is made, and I'll start the sodium bicarb "flood" on the 15th. I dread the time and expense of going to KC, but, my body is starting to tell me, "It's treatment time!" "Shooters" (my name for my neurogenic pain) had me up until 4 this morning. I'll "up" my oral Methotrexate on Wednesday—that (and Neurontin) should keep me comfortable for the 3 weeks left until I get my "fix".
Hugs!

Not to sure if our Hummers are gone yet or not. Too many bees around lately to tell but it gets empty awfully fast. Is it the hummers or the bees? Glad to hear your treatment is soon if your begining to have problems.
I went back into Grandmaof11 blog and I think the reason I can't delete, is because I had to get a new password when I opened the new blog and can't get back into the old one. When I try it takes me to my new one and I don't want to cancel that. Hugs.
I am glad you are going for your treatment only because I know it will make you feel better. It sure sounds like a lot of work to get ready for it though and a long trip to get there. Don't blame you for the "sniff"
The "sniff" was for missing my hummers. The treatments are very worth the effort! The trip is tempered by the fact that we do a lot of shopping at Costco while there (no Costco locally), and get great bargains. More hugs!
