THURSDAY - Broken Record Day. Yeah, what do I say. Today was another good day at the Sherman Resort Complex.
If you understand numbers, here they are attached. I am always focused on the numbers just as my doctors are. One critical one while I am here, is Absolute Neutrophil Count. It has to be 1.0 or better. I checked all the ones we look the most at most, but this is still only half of the daily report. Just to say, I'm good on everything.
This morning I got Round 2A of my chemo. I get 3A tomorrow night and then 3B at 7am Saturday and by noon, God willing and the creek don't rise, I'm outta here.
I got another record 13 laps in today, by the way. That's great and a testament of how good I feel. Will the other shoe drop? Yeah, probably next week but by then, I'm in my own beddy.
I did get permission to attend the Patient and Family advisory committee meeting today, too. It was really informative and they meet once a month. I think I contributed some good ideas too. The hospital Nurse Navigator was in twice today to chat with me and told me a few minutes ago that because of my feedback and ideas, they have made a number of process improvements. Darn, I should be getting paid for this. But, no, this is my way of giving back and helping other patients have a great experience.
Dawnie, will be here in a few minutes with supper so I want to finish up. I can't say enough about what a wonderful care giver, wife, partner, lover and confidante, Dawn is. It's by God's providence for sure. I hope you are all so blessed with someone like her in your life.
Oh the other photo is of two of my favorite nurses [although I do have other most favorites too like Denise], Stacey and Camille are here hooking up another IV bag.
Take care. Tell someone today how much you love and appreciate them.
