Home all day.    That is nice.   I did have contact with real people throughout the day which is even nicer.

My Bret is leaving Arizona tomorrow and will be here sometime on Sunday.  I can hardly wait to hug him.   I am making his favorite meal (Swedish Meatballs) tomorrow and we will have a family gathering at my home on Sunday afternoon/evening to celebrate his arrival.

I am so glad that he will be here for my second round of chemo.   He and Bart can hang out while I get the treatment, something they have not been able to to these past years much.

I am so blessed to have kids who LIKE ME:)

Nicky is much better.   He is a good boy about taking his meds and doesn't smell so bad any more.   I still remember Dick saying "Is he really worth that much money" when we got the vet bills.  Of course, with that twinkle in his eye as we would to anything within reason for our pet friends.  He would how lost I would be without my sweet Nicky.  I am so glad that the allergies are abating.  His scratching was driving me nuts.

I am planning on going to Mass for the first time in weeks on  Saturday.   Pray that this will work.  Bret is bringing over a stadium cushion which might help.

Heat is returning to Oklahoma after three weeks of fairly mild temperatures.  It is 6:30PM and still 93Degrees in Lawton!

I had a lot of things to do today but still seemed to have empty hours.

Bart came over this morning and helped me give Nicky a bath to help get rid of his allergies.   He is a nice doggie, just looking at us kind of plaintively, wondering why we are doing these things to him:)

The rash is much better.  The shots the Vet gave really helped and he is getting meds to finish the healing.

I went to the post office this afternoon to mail Suzi her "share" of the CIE information.   Since I was out, I picked up the last things I need for when
Bret is here.  

I am so looking forward to his visit.

Kind of sore today.

It was a quiet good day.  We were up into the 90s in temps. Not bad.  The only errands I had were the bank and Walgreens.    Bart came by for a visit this morning.  He is walking.   Good thing.

I think I MAY have gained a pound or two in the past few day.   Cross your fingers.

Kind of keep myself busy, but my mind is much more active than my body:)

Boy, have I been a lazy blogger the past three days.   

Spending the blog time visiting with Leslie and Bill while I still had them here:)   They left early yesterday morning and are home safe and sound with their kitties.

What a great visit.  And Bret will be here this weekend.   Am I blessed, or what.    It is really a help for Bart and Barb too.    All three of us are fighting our physical problems and it is nice that they don't have to worry about me when someone is here.

I went for my lab tests today.  Guess they are OK as I didn't hear anything.   Took Nicky to the Vet today too because he has been frantically scratching himself for a couple of weeks or more.   He has allergies and now has a fortune in meds that he needs to take.   He also got two shots for some immediate relief.   I actually think it is helping already. 

My left rib cage area is still quite sore.    I am eating the best I can and hope that the additional calories will help speed the healing.  I am at very least maintaining and may have gained a couple of pounds.

I bought myself a Dairy queen mini Blizzard for my dessert tonight.  Yippee

My niece Vikki called this morning to check on me.    I am worried about her actually.  She broke some ribs a couple of weeks ago and still has to work.  So pray for my girl.

Anyway  - I did not feel very well all morning but as the day wore on, I am improving.   Must remember not to get too excited and let the healing continue.

Patience is a hard lesson.
