I
had an appointment at 10:00 on Thursday
at U of A to get my infusion. We made it in good time and the infusion was done
by 11:30. I’ve been getting the Simponi Aria for 6 months and never had an
adverse reaction. So I was surprised that I felt worse and worse as the day
went on. We went to Saguaro National Park-East and took a couple of hikes there
and watched their film about the Park. On our way home we stopped at Costco to
buy cheap ($2.09) gas and bought one of their roasted chickens. By the time we
got back to the campsite I was achy and had chills, my stomach hurt, and my
head hurt. I didn’t seem to have a fever but I really felt lousy. Marv made a
big salad to go with the chicken but I couldn’t even finish my serving. We
watched a couple of Northern Exposures and I crawled into bed. It was a very
long night and I still felt lousy every time I woke up enough to assess.

| Coral Cholla |
 |
| Teddy Bear Cholla We also saw Pencil Cholla but I guess we didn't get a picture. All are also known as "jumping Cholla" because they attach so easily to passersby they seem to "jump" onto anything they can. When removed, the small pieces will then take root in the soil and grow a new plant. |

| Desert Ecology Trail at Saguaro East |
 |
| Loved the big, many arm saguaro along the trail! |
 |
| It's unusual to find 5 saguaros the same size right together. |
 |
| Can you find the very large jackrabbit in this picture? |
 |
| The Rincon Mountains are east of Tucson and Saguaro East is nestled in their foothills. |
 |
| Near the end of the loop drive through the park we stopped at a rock formation called Javelina to climb on the rocks. That's Peggy and our truck far below in the parking lot. |
