I don't know why I'm being so bad at writing right away in the monring, but I know I started to delete emails right away at 9 a.m., and then saw an email from ebates, and went online and started placing some great deals at Kohl's Old Navy, and Amazon. Unfortunetly that took me till now to complete all the shopping. On one I had to call Kohls to get my discount to work, and they wouldn't let me take the 25% discount on my order over $100, cause I was using my Kohls cash which brought the order under $100....I didn't know that that was how it worked, but the would let me use a $20 discount, so I took that. Then at Old Navy, I didn't put in a promo code, cause I didn't have one till I placed the order and looked at my email and it said if I used a promo code of StuffSave, I could get a 30% discount on the whole order, so I had to call them back and they were nice enough to give me the promo discount on my order....all this took time, so that is why I am now finally writing.
Yesterday was the first day of my chemo, and the doctor told me I looked great as always,but then he added that all my vitals looked great as well if it wasn't for the stupid cancer I would be fine. He thinks my movements are improving too. But last night a got a call from the on-call doctor, and they said my Potassium had come back even lower than it was 2 weeks ago, and she wanted me to take 3 of the horse pills before bed tonight, and then wanted me to come in and have my blood checked today, when I told her I didn't drive, and asked if it could be on Thursday when i got unplugged she said that would be fine, but to take 2 more today when I usually take it. So I agreed. Last night I had to cut the 3 pills into 1/4ths so I could get them down, and I'll have to do the same today. Hope that works, cause I hate taking one much less two or three a day.
The chemo went fine once they got my port to return blood, which took an extra hour of soaking in a blood thinner. Then Rita and I proceeded to play cribbage, and she has difinately figured out how to play the game and beat me 3 out of 3, and was winning the forth when we called it quits and she took me home. She did threaten me with taking me home the fierst game, and again threatened not to get me lunch with the second, and then not threats the thrid and won anyway. But it was fun playing.
I just called Bonnie to tell her what time to take me to get unplugged and she is sick since Monday, and is going to the doctor this afternoon, so it doesn't look like she will be able too. She said she would call me later this afternoon after she got back, so I may be putting out a call for a driver tomorrow, and letting Sheila know that I might not make that appointment for Qigong. If you are on my drivers list....watch for it.
I'm feeling good today, and don't have much plans for the day, but tomorrow who ever drives me to get unplugged, will be asked to drive me to pick up pictures at Costco and stop at Michael's to pick up some things there too! That's all for the day, please keep my cousin Louie in your prayers, he is having lots of problems with his blood pressure, and Mary Brue has a few plea's for prayers for her Nephew on a list for a liver transplant and her son who is in Mexico on business, and of course a few prayers for me. Love and Prayers, m
