Yes I am still here and have not taken a turn for the worse. Things are about the same as I never really get a chance to recope before they start another round of chemo. At the end of round 3 now and at this point my hemoglobin drops as the bone morrow has not really recouped from the last round of chemo. As soon as it stabilizes they will start ( Read more... )

Woke up to the sound of thunder this morning. Love to hear that sound and be able to stay in bed and listen to the rain. I rolled out of bed and made some coffee and now I am waiting for Kevin and his partner to get their Asses out of bed so I can prepare breakfast. It is ready to go as the coffee is done and the French toast is ready to put on ( Read more... )

It was a busy day yesterday (Sat) My sister from central Kansas was here for the weekend arrived last Thursday. We went to several museums here in the KC area and then finally came home and crashed. I was tired. One of the places we visited is one of the only working stagecoach stations on the Santa Fe Trail. It is the Mahaffie Farm.

It I a nice spring day here in Kansas City. mrdreamjeans arrived to the house before noon and we chatted here for a while then went to lunch. He is now heading north on I-35 to Minneapolis. I wished he could have stayed longer as I would have enjoyed taking him around KC. It has changed a lot since he was last here.

Headed to the outpatient clinic this morning for blood work and found that my platelet count had gone up from 20 to 58. This is a good thing. When I was in the hospital they would give me 2 units of platelets and my count would go up to about 20 and then the next day they were back down to about 10. In this case my bone morrow is making them ( Read more... )
