OK, I am not doing a good job today, it has been a very tiring day. The blood tests came and showed the liver numbers were still too high to start chemo again. Adele was worried, but the RN Sara, let her know that this is not an abnormal result with what she is going through. She advised Adele to let the liver rest for a week and with everyone's approval (all the doctors, Head Nurse, Charge Nurse, Nurse Practitioner RN etc) the next step will be more blood work on Sunday the 11th at 11:30 AM.
We then drove back to Pasadena, MD and Debbie's to get the supplies we left there. Once packed (all of a 1/2 hour to do that) we drove to Ephrata and home. Back by noon and the car was unpacked by 12:30 then right into lunch and off to the races for me.
Wow, we can go home again! - OK We got home hours ago, and having had a wearing day, have gotten as much rest as possible. I got a chance to get to the foot doctor about getting rid of the boot (not yet-wait 2 more weeks), to the pharmacy (some wrong medicine picked up (will exchange tomorrow), to the PA Breast Cancer Coalition offices to drop software that has been in my office for weeks and a few other chores I had. In other words I did not rest until after completing these. I did try to beat the weather, since we knew that there was sleet and wet snow forecast this afternoon.
Supper is done and now the rest and relaxation begins for me also. We will watch a movie and a few Jay Leno's from the DVR. Thank you all for being such supporting people. We do not plan on traveling to Baltimore until Sunday and get to sleep in our own bed for the first time since Dec 26th. How much more restful can we get?
Thanks to all - Rick
