My Dear Friends,
Today I have to take a routine heart test (2D Echo) to check if the chemo has been too hard on my heart. Usually I don't get nervous about this one but I'm thinking about it too much. Trying also not to get nervous about the bone scan next month. Told the receptionist I don't want to schedule OR even mention it until mid-December. Denial & avoidance, works for me! :)
Finished up my antibiotic for the irritation at my surgery site (the port). The area is still red, but better by about 50%. If it persists, guess I'll go see the surgeon again. Last I saw her, she was involved in a pyramid marketing scheme for vegetable tablets. Not sure if I'll order those. Soudns like she researched it but who knows?
My red cells had been low. Normal is 11 but mine were 10.1 last week. The insurance company won't pay for a shot until they're lower than 10. (Some new rule.) This week I was back up to 11.2 or something, so I'm good with that. My liver enzymes, which had been high and we were watching, have come back down into the normal range.
Other than a few aches & pains and my usual anxiety over dying sooner than I planned, I suppose I'm doing all right. :)
Have more to write but will do it later. Have to have lunch with Dad.
Happy Thanksgiving and thank you for your continued prayers!
Love,
Jeanette
