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.
