Time for me to fly! I'm all packed...printed my boarding pass...made arrangements to be picked up at 11:15 a.m. with my son Bill taking me to get unplugged and to the airport....and with Kathleen on the other end to pick me up in Salt Lake City.
I was able to get most of my drugs refilled, cept for one that they gave me the script so I can get it filled in SLC Walgreens when it comes closer to the date ready for refill....got some cash from a cash machine...etc.etc.
Yesterday was quite a crazy day. I left home a few minutes after 1 p.m. and stopped at Bill's to pick up a couple of John Denver CD's to put on my new Ipod, then headed to the bank to make a deposit and talk to them about the JCPenney double payment which caused a double overdraft fee at the bank, so after pleading my case, I did get half of it added back into my account. By this time it was 2 p.m. and I rushed across the street to HealthPartners to pick up my prescriptions I ordered online the night before, and neither of them had been filled, so I had to plead with them to get a vacation override but that was going to take time, and I didn't have any of that, cause I had to be in Robinsdale at HHH at 2:30, to give them a urine sample that they forgot to get the day before. So I told HP that I would be back to pick up the prescriptions after that. Well I then rushed to HHH, and was able to get there by 2:30, gave them a urine sample, and then went to their pharmacy to get two prescriptions refilled there. Well the vacation thing came into effect there too, so I ended up getting only one filled and the script to take to SLC with me. So now it was getting close to 3 p.m., and I rushed back to Coon Rapids HP and got my drugs there that they had now filled. It was now 3:20 and I needed to get something to eat, and go to the bathroom...so I went through the Drive thru at MacDonalds and stopped at home for the bathroom break...while leaving the car running....as I needed to be at Sheila's for my Qigong at 3:45....well that didn't happen, but I was there by 3:55. Sheila visited with me for about 15 minutes to let me calm down and relax before starting the Qigong, and I felt really good by the time she was done. She gave me a few tips of what to do on the plane and throughout the trip...to keep me healthy and rid the chemo side effects from my system.
After Sheila's I got home a little after 5 p.m., loaded my John Denver CD's into my ipod, ate somemore of my leftover chow mein...packed a few extra items and headed off to church for Ash Wednesday. Stopped at a cash machine on my way back home...finished packing my backpack. I'm ready!
As for Ash Wednesday and being the start of my task of being an inspiration and contacting someone each day with a call or letter or card or maybe an email....I did manage to get a personal call in to Mary Scheiber, and do have an update on her....she is doing well, sounds great, has had one round of chemo (1 of 4 on a three week rotation)...one of her sisters is up from Wisconsin staying with her and was happy that I called. So it was good for both of us.
I also had a few other great phone calls yesterday morning....cousin Karen from Switzerland....cousin Janet from another planet...Aunt Loretta....and my sister last night. Actually I called Aunt Loretta, as she called and left me a message while I was talking to her daughter, Karen. Great minds think a like I guess! Well atleast they were both thinking about me at the same time. Loved all the good wishes for a good and safe trip with everyone I came in contact with all day. So thank you all, and Love and Prayers for you, m
