Sarah’s test at the cardiologist all came back in her favor.
She has no noticeable heart problem but to be on the safe side she is wearing a
monitor for 30 days. This means she can continue with the chemo treatments and
she had her last one of the two drug treatments yesterday and her immune
booster shot today. She is feeling good now but by tomorrow the booster shot
begins to wear her down along with the chemo drugs and she will be out of
action for a few days.
Last Saturday she was feeling able enough to go shopping
with Cynthia, they were gone for a few hours, did Sarah good, I watched
football and read. I have been reading a lot but I have a bunch of books to
read yet.
Monday, Dec 31st, I drove the bus at Illahee
Hills. For those of you who don’t know all of our history, we managed Illahee
from May 2003 to July 2004 when I got burned out and we moved on to other
opportunities. Anyway, they needed someone to fill in for the regular driver
and so I accepted. I also drove Weds, Thurs, and will drive this afternoon. The
pay isn’t great but I don’t do it for the money it is something different and
gets me out of Sarah’s hair, well what hair she has left. The drugs are taking
their toll on her in that department. She has taken to wearing hats to keep her
head warm. She saw one on the TV show Castle that Det Beckett wore in one of
the episodes, she wants one like it but can’t seem to find it.
Sarah heard a noise outside and on top of the parking ramp
just north of us they were shooting off fireworks. I was local company
sponsored fireworks show. We had an eye level view of it. The show lasted about
ten minutes, pretty cool.
Tuesday, I did nothing but watch football, neither of the
teams I wanted to win did but it was fun watching them. Wednesday I drove for
Illahee, actually wasn’t much, I took a guy to the VA. Thursday Sarah had her
chemo, the last of the two drug ones. I drove for Illahee again.
Today, Sarah received her immune booster shot and I gave
blood at the blood center. I found that 50 years ago the government said I had
O neg blood and now the blood center says I have O pos blood. I questioned that
and was told the tests are more accurate today. Good thing I didn’t need blood
all these years.
I am going to Illahee this afternoon to take some residents
over to the sister facility for a Wii tournament. I will have to let you know
what that is all about.
We have lots of snow on the ground and cold temperatures but
they are calling for a warming trend the next few days, maybe some of the snow
will melt, I hope so.
Until later, Dreams Do Come True.
