its so weird because here we are so used to hurricanes, but then when they hit other places im so worried. i really hope their is no damage to you and your family homes.

I don't think so. I've finished my cycle, so I have to see the doctor again before she can authorize another month of treatment.

Well shit. I'm assuming your doctor's office is closed also due to the hurricane?
