Good morning, Readers. I had a Chemo appointment today, and unlike most the trip there and back was a little different (in my mind, anyway). This appointment was during the Democratic National Convention held in Milwaukee and located very close to the interstate exchange I typically use to get to the VA. Though delegate attendance …
Greetings, readers. A few more weeks have passed – another round of chemo – and depending on my numbers this time (should know in a few days) I might get to increase the time between doses. Not exactly a remission mind you, but better. :). We think we’ve gotten ahead of the ‘fever’ thing – …
You know, I have every intention of posting every week. But some weeks are kinda boring – that’s good isn’t it? 😉 In this case, it hasn’t really been that boring, and due to a few hiccups I’ve missed some updates, so here we go. As I mentioned in an earlier post, I’m resuming my …
And other things that seem to escape me. 😉 Here it is, the middle of 2020. I’m sitting in front of the Mac at 2:00 am thinking about trying to catch up with all of the things I’d hoped to do this spring. Except here in Wisconsin, there is no spring. Well, maybe a day …
Drove to Green Bay to get my Labs done last week, thinking how good things have turned out for me during this outbreak. You know, not needing to drive to Milwaukee 3 out of 4 weeks to get the chemo by infusion. That’s because my numbers went down and the Doc and I were planning …
Since I last posted, a few unusual things have happened. In case you’ve missed it, a good portion of the planet is staying home or otherwise trying to avoid catching a virus by avoiding other people. Sounds familiar. I’ve been practicing for a few years now and am pretty good at it, lol! A few …
Well, it’s day one of the official #saferathome non-martial law quarantine. And in a few hours, I’ll be on the road – one of the many with a viable excuse – a doctor’s appointment. 😉 How’ve I been? Not bad, considering. Had an actual talk with the doc (I do this once monthly) and was …
Treatment #3 went well this month, unusually smooth appointment-wise anyway. You see, sometimes the government isn’t always efficient. Maybe you’ve heard that before, lol. My experience with VA healthcare is probably way better than most government agencies though. A typical treatment goes like this: Show up at the right time or a bit earlier and …
Took the DAV bus to Milwaukee for today’s appointment and it was par for the course. One person had a late appointment so I didn’t get home until after 4 pm. 🙁 The appointment went okay, labs came back favorable and the doc says that soon we may add more time between treatments, eliminate a …
Well, it’s been going around and I got it. There were two dinners I attended back to back, and apparently I couldn’t help myself but be attractive to the bug. Prior to the weekend, my regularly scheduled chemo treatment went off without a hitch. Sunday morning after the dinner, Robin made me take my temp, …
