The one week check-up

I went to the Dr. Office this morning; drove myself; then proceeded to wait for 1/2 hour in the tiny office exam room. Not horrible just get a little anxious being there. Everything looks good, right? Well, sort of. I did have to have blood drawn that I was not aware of; and have a tiny little suture knot that was peeking out of my shoulder near my port. guess what? She had to dig a little cause the skin grew back over it! No worries, it came out fine and not too much discomfort. They will be checking my counts weekly, something I did not know about. I thought it was biweekly.

Anyway, after that, I felt good enough to go Krogering. So, I loaded up the cart and got in line and guess what? I ran out of gas. I had to ask for help unloading, bagging, and taking my groceries out to my car. I had lots of help and they were all really , really nice. I notified the kids before I left and they helped unload and put away. They are being good to me.

One more thing to do; take Rachel to the mall for a present. We went to Von Maur to the Clinique counter and there, she had a makeover and got to purchase all of her essentials and she loved it, and so did I! She looks understated and beautiful and that is what we wanted. Nothing fussy over here!
OK, completely bushed and tired, I am off for a quick nap and then I am playing Euchre with the family.
God bless this day!
