On Friday I got approval to go home (our home on Sandia Cove Ct) for the weekend!
So we headed home at 5pm in what we thought would be horrible Memorial Day Weekend traffic.....and to our surprise there was hardly any traffic!! Like magic! Still can't figure that one out!
Jerry and I slept in our own bed! Yea....life's simple pleasures! We went out to eat at an uncrowded restaurant in the neighborhood after going to Sat. evening mass this evening! The first time to go out in over 6 weeks. Again only a few people in the restaurant which was good for me! Everyone must have left Houston for the long weekend on Friday at noon. I don't know!
I am scheduled to have a bone marrow biopsy on Tuesday. That will give the doctor's more information about how my bone marrow is responding to my new donor cells. I will be going in two days a week for blood checks and my daily infusion and to see the nurse practitioner and pharmacist. On the days I don't go to the hospital, Jerry hooks me up to a portable ball pump device. He's getting really good at his nursing role. If I do say so myself! He also helps me to cover my central venous catheter line at night for my showers! Way to go baby!
Thank you also to all my wonderful friends who brought dinners to me in April and May! They have been such a huge help and stress reducer during my hospitalization and recovery stages!! Thank you so much to Melinda Lynch for organizing and setting up the "Take them a meal" site too!
