Much Better

The last few days I have felt much better.  I still get fatigued but at least the nausea has subsided.  Yesterday the blood work did show that my counts were a little low (which is expected) but nothing too alarming.  I go back next Wednesday for more blood work.

My cousin (Bro as I call him) from Portland, OR visited for a while on Tuesday.  It was good to see him.  Of course BBQ is always on the menu when he is here and I must say I thoroughly enjoyed some ribs.

After having blood drawn yesterday I went shopping for a bit.  (Rick doesn't always think that is a good sign!)  Then we went over to Karlene's so I could hold little Emerson for a while.  This always makes me feel much better.  I really miss seeing Ethan but he is such a walking Petrie dish that I need to avoid contact with him until my counts come back up.  I was tired after all of this but felt good.

Today I am going to try to accomplish some cleaning.  Some things are beginning to drive me nuts so I guess I am feeling better.  I know it will take me twice the time to do this but at least I feel like doing them.

Tomorrow I have physical therapy.  My range of motion is getting better but there are still some issues with my arms.  I don't think I will ever get use to the numbness under my arms!  I am hoping the therapist will have some suggestions to alleviate this feeling.  I have been trying to stay on schedule and do my exercises three times a day.

This just about sums up my week.  It has been much better!  I think that is a good sign.
