Better Day

It's always good to be home. Although I was chilled last night and today, it was a lovely day about 60 degrees and sunny. We had some nice outside time including frisbee time.

I ate well and tried to drink well. Last nights gut I didn't stop drinking early enough and had to go several times during the night.  Amazingly enough, I still felt rested. But it was. Really hard to get out of a warm bed in to a cold shower. I hate showering.  And taking pills.

I felt more energetic today.  Baby steps.  I got some bills filed, but that really took a lot of effort.   Back to resting.

Kent left for work so now I am at the mercy of sappy Sunday night movies. Oh boy.

Goodnight.

Quiet, please

Clinic is my time to rest. Apparently, it's my neighbor's time to take phone calls. It's so annoying. It's even worse when his wife is here, which was not today. Why does he always sit next to me?  Today I was treated to a live FaceTime of his son's basketball game, complete with commentary. Oh joy.

Oh well. I napped at home.

I took some of the appetite stimulant this morning. I guess if I have it, I should try it.  I am eating more bread. Too bad I can't have beer too. That would add pounds.  I weigh 110, and holding steady. No one here is  worried.

Labs came back fine again.  They are holding steady.

It's cold here at night. Flannel sheets, and a 3 dog night.

Just another day

No sickness today.  That's good. I am trying to keep something in me so maybe that will help.

I haven't tried the appetite stimulant yet.  I guess I am hesitant to take another drug. But I have been eating so that's good.

This helps. Home made Rosemary bread with sea salt.  Thanks, Curt and Darlene. I thinks it's best warm with a little butter, but plain off the loaf is perfect, too.  Maybe one more slice before bed.

I got to sit outside for a bit. It wasn't too cold, and it was sunny too.

Lastly, now that the dogs are pretty, they have on their Christmas bling. Thanks, Bev, for the home made bandannas.

Slow Day

It was a clinic day. Buffy brought me in, and Darlene picked me up.

All I got was saline.  CRE was still 1.3, and the rest of the numbers are slightly up.

The bad news is I got sick this afternoon. Only bile. I guess I need to eat more.

I was prescribed an appetite stimulant today.  I will start it tomorrow, just to be sure it stays down.

But so far this evening dinner and lunch stayed.

So, sorry it's going to be a short blog, but you know why.

Eerily Quiet

All 3 dogs went to the spa today. Except for Chris in the hangar, I was 100% alone today. Very weird. 

In case you don't know about my favorite vet office, I will tell you about Southside Animal Care in Griffin, GA. They are the most kind and knowledgeable group of friends and the only ones I would trust my dogs' and foster dogs' care. They do grooming and boarding as well as veterinary care.  They are the best.

The dogs returned gorgeous and ready to play. Then we all had a nice nap.

That was it for the day.

Changes

Clinic day. Pretty outside, but cold.

I took a short nap, but the neighbor is chatty. I am only got 1.5 ltr of fluid today, so I done by noon.  No mag.

My numbers are slightly down, but nothing to panic about.  We got standard bloodwork sent off,  then added a CMV and prograf test.  Next week is another chimerism test to see how the engraphment is going. Let's hope for 100/100. Last time was 70/100.

My schedule has changed to m,w,f. I am trying hard to keep my 7 am slot to ride in with Buffy. They really want to move me. I don't wanna!!!

Then I was seen by the doc, and he put me back on every other day. You know, after I changed the sign up sheet for drivers. I think malus go out, so sorry to my drivers for the confusion.

All is well. As always,, hoping for good sleep. 

Can't Move

From 1-3 pm is my tv time.  I watch the Chew and then Rachael Ray. Rarely do I get to sit still and watch them.

But today was a good day. Except for making lunch, I did get to sit and watch. Chip was on my feet, so I couldn't move without disturbing him.

I am feeling better today. I could have used a good long nap. I got about 30 minutes. Last night's rest was fitful, at best.

Medications are still a challenge.  I take something every 4 hours, even through the night. It's my job, I have to take them as directed.  They have all kinds of side effects, too.  Maybe tonight will be better.

Clinic with Buffy early tomorrow. We both hate mornings.
