212
Dave and I left the farm at 10:00 this morning for my 2:00 appointment at Siteman Cancer Center in St Louis. Today was treatment #212. We are thankful the interstates are clear from the weekend’s winter storm. The nurse who accessed my port and drew my labs has been a nurse at Barnes for 2…
My No Plan Day that Wasn’t
My January is full of medical appointments and I thrive on quiet days at home on the farm. I am also someone who loves her old school paper planner so I purposefully scheduled one No Plan Day each week this month. The first one was utterly amazing. The second one was yesterday and let’s say…
License Renewal
Dave and I left the farm at 3:00 Tuesday in the midst of a digestive system revolt. It was a tough day. The brain MRI results were good, though. There are no new tumors and the faint trace of a new one that appeared in October has disappeared. So the daily chemo pills I take…
Medical Month
I have medical appointments on 15 of the 31 days in January. Some days have multiple appointments so that is 21 appointments total in those 15 days. It is exhausting but necessary. Three of those days require a trip to Barnes which is a 421-mile round trip. I am leaning hard on the piano and…
Happy “I Met my Annual Out-of-Pocket Maximum” Day for those who Celebrate
Chemo 111 had a mid-afternoon start time today so we brought Madi along for the day. She absolutely loves being in a vehicle and behaves beautifully. While I had my labs and chemo, Dave and Madi hung out in Forrest Park near the hospital. St Louis was sunny and temperatures were in the mid-sixties. The…
You don’t really want to know.
How are you? It’s a simple conversation starter people use when they really don’t want to know. I’m not making resolutions. They don’t usually work anyway but I also try to take life one step at time these days, trying to do the next thing and the next thing. I’ve been in a real funk…
Waiting for light
I had a bad reaction to this treatment. It’s been challenging. Just when I started to recover I was hit by a bad head cold. I’ve mostly been in bed or on the couch. Nurse Madi has been on the job. On my one partially okay day this week I made Christmas candy without my…
Another Christmas in the Chemo Pod
Today is treatment #110 and my 7th Christmas in the chemo pod. Dave & I left the farm at 6 am. I saw my oncologist today, the amazing Dr. Bisi. They had issues with some pipes that closed some of the chemo pods in the Siteman Cancer Center. That would wreak havoc to the schedule…
109
Today was treatment #109. Dave & I left the farm at 6:30 am. We borrowed a vehicle because my daughter and I were in a car accident Sunday. My car took the brunt of it and left us a bit sore and rattled. My digestive system has been challenging lately and today was no exception…
