We are five days pass the chemo treatments and Sarah is
feeling better, says she is still tired but otherwise the post treatment
feelings are getting better. I guess this is the way it will be for these
drugs, two treatments down and two to go, then the doctor changes the drug and
it is weekly for fourteen weeks.
Last Thursday I went to an interview for a shuttle driver position
at Enterprise car rentals. I filled out the paperwork and Erin, the logistics
mgr, said it would take a week or so to do all the background checks. The job
isn’t high paying, $7.25/hr for up to 25 hrs per week, but it will buy the
groceries and give me something to do especially when Sarah isn’t felling up to
doing anything.
Friday and Saturday, we didn’t do anything; these are the
days Sarah begins to really feel the effects of the treatments, nothing drastic,
just plain tired so we don’t do anything.
Sunday I went to church, Sarah wanted to go but didn’t feel
quite up to it and I am not comfortable with her being in crowds this soon
after a treatment. The chemo lowers her immune system and I don’t want to risk
her getting any disease. That afternoon
we did go out to Cynthia’s, she wanted my help in putting her patio furniture
away, it didn’t take long to do that. We had lunch and Sarah was feeling tired
so we came back to the apartment. It is funny, I can’t quite get myself to call
this home, even though we will be here a while, it is just another place we
have landed for now.
Monday, yesterday, I went out to Shorewood RV, here in Des Moines;
I dropped the camper off a month ago to get the washer fixed and the rig
winterized. I talked to them on Friday and the girl was telling me they were having
trouble with the inverter. I told her there is nothing wrong with the inverter.
So I drove out there to see for myself what was going on, evidently the tech
figured out his problem and they are suppose to finally get to removing the
washer and getting it fixed. We’ll see what happens; I truly miss the
efficiency and professionalism of the Excel service center. I hope they can fix
the washer but even though I told them I was in no hurry to get the camper back
this is a bit long.
Today I have done the laundry, changed the bedding and will
go for a walk with Sarah in a bit, so I do keep busy but I do like to drive so
I am looking forward to working for Enterprise.
Until later, Dreams Do Come True

Hope Sarah gets feeling better soon.
Through experience, we've found out that it's NEVER a good idea to tell a repair shop that you're not in a hurry to get the RV back.
Good luck,
Jim
