Friday's VIsit

Another 2 1/2 hours at the clinic today. Can't seem to keep the potassium in me so IV's on a daily basis for awhile. If it continues, we think we'll have Susan learn to do this at home so we don't have to drive to the clinic everyday. Susan always wanted to be a nurse (NOT!), but she is willing to learn. What a sweetheart she is. Speaking of sweethearts, so also is my sister. She left last night. I called her this morning and told her I was back on the daily visits to the clinic and we needed her back. Much to my amazement she said, "well, if you need me, I'll be there." I guess she's forgotten I have a cruel sense of humor. Anyway, I told her to stay home for awhile. My numbers are still doing what they are supposed to, although the white count and neutrophils are still quite low as we wait for the immune system to rebuild. The internal rebuilding effort apparently is the explanation for the exhaustion. It's weird to be so tired from doing nothing (at least on the outside), but I guess the work is invisible to the eye. All in all I continue to do well. Next report will be Monday, probably afternoon. Have a nice weekend everyone. The last few weeks here in Colorado have been fantastic fall weather. Love, Dan
