Surprise! I slept in my own bed last night. I signed in as an observation patient about 9:30am and reported to the 7th floor at eleven thirty, the nurses with Dr. Fredric and said send me to outpatient Chemo. By a little after 4:00 pm, Jill picked me up and I was home. Today I go in for my first shot, at the dr.’s office and this afternoon Jill and I will pick up Merlene and I’ll get to Dr. Block’s for my vitamin therapy.
In between trips to the hospital for me, Jill has been busy at her machine. I now have a different topper for every day of the week and more. There are four cute sun hats from the Cariker of West Columbia, a black, broad brimmed hat from Abby and Talbots; a pink turban and wig and three turbans courtesy of Jill. Wow! I can really go out in public in style.
Thanks to the good nurses in outpatient infusion, I was out by 4:00. They labored over my machine which had a contrary filter or something. The machine keot stopping, but thanks to their persistence, it finally worked. I think Jessie, my nurse and the wife of s seminary student said a few prayers that helped. Sorry I didn’t get the name of the other nurse who practically stood on her head to unclog the filter. They both deserve much praise.
Later on Thursday or Friday Allan on Mikha will come relieve Jill. Thursday, the church people return from France, except Judy and Leigh, who’ll be travelling on to Germany to visit the Schmidts, Ursela’s parents. They’ll return next Tuesday.
Forgot to mention to all the Trinity folks, soon after I got home yesterday Bill and Elaine Krupp came by for a lovely visit. They send their love to all of you. I’m glad Bill was with Elaine, He’s lost over 100 lbs. following by-pass and insertion of a pace maker.
They had been in Plano getting ready to renew their Marriage Encounter ministry.
All is well at 2621 Waits Ave., thanks to your continuing prayers.
