It has been a while since I wrote to you and I'm sorry. I hope that you and your family are doing well.

I wanted to tell you that my mom is worried about me. She says that whether I like it or not, I am going to see Dr. Robinson tomorrow. She says I have lost weight, even though I am still eating a lot, and I am "lethargic" (had to have Mom's help to say or type that word), and she is worried because I have chewed up the inside of both of my legs and my feet, and I haven't bitten or scratched her in weeks. She makes a face like this when she looks at me . She says it is "worry" that makes her do that. Until last night, she did not see how awful my legs look. They do itch really bad and I just chew and chew. What I hate is that I have to go back to the doctor. Mom says that it is time to get to the bottom of this so that I don't have to keep going for a shot every month.

Secretly, I sort of like all the attention she is giving me, but I am ready to stop itching and I'm very ready to be able to STOP having to get into that plastic box she puts me in every month. Of course, I don't make that easy on her, in hopes that she will just quit trying. The last two times, it has taken 3 people to get me in there!

I will let you know what the doctor says.

I love you.
