Is it still February?

Enough already! Lets get the show on the road. I'm reved up but I can't move very fast. I guess right now I should let my fingers do the walking, as they say.

Dr. visit tomorrow for blood work. I now have a date for the bone marrow bx with sedation, Feb. 25th. I tried hard to get it done at the center where I spent seven months but they wanted it done in my oncologists institution- "besides, everyone wants them done here!" I told my Dr. that and he said "then why don't they do them?'" so he backed me up by saying "they do them every 10 minutes over there" whatever, I have had it done there before and it went fine.

I also have a date-appointment for my one year checkup- will last four days, it is Aug. 4th. We will get a room in Seattle for that time. I will also have to be re-vaccinated for the childhood diseases such a whooping cough, polio,etc.

My aches and pains? not much to report, thankfully, my appetite is down, sometimes I just don't feel like eating at mealtime [ never experienced that before] I am supposed to eat 70 grams of protien a day which I usually do. Oh, and 8 to 10 glasses of water. which I generally do too. The neuropathy in my feet has been giving me more trouble at night, they start to sting and it wakes me up.

We have dinner reservations for Valentines Day at a restaurant that we always enjoyed but has been closed for several years for renovation which left us without a favorite place to go close to home. The other thing about this place was that it had some atmosphere, it made you feel you were somewhere special, as a result people used it for special occassion- proms -other special occassions. What I am saying is that you could get dressed up and not feel out of place. Living in a small community you can dress casually and go anywhere. So I am on my way to try on a few dresses I have and what to go with them- fur jacket? red trench? It will be fun.

Looking forward to any comments, Love, God bless you all, M
