Thursday, January 13th - #27 - day 2

Due to the (past) impending snow storm instead of going for cocktail #27 on Wednesday - they pushed it up one day to Tuesday. Today I had the pump disconnected. Everything went well. Got all my numbers from my blood work back too...they all look great! I didn't have the nupagin shot with the last treatment due to NYE holiday - I thought the number for my white blood count was going to be down. It was in the normal range - it was 5.3....well, to my surprise it was even higher! It was 6.8!!! I don't have to get a shot this week at all!!! I don't have to go back until Monday the 24th!!!! and that's for blood work and then cocktail #28.

Now, Charlie, on the other hand...he had blood work drawn several weeks ago and both of us are bad...we don't get back to the doctor...Well, when we were talking to Dr. May - when she came into my room she looked at Charlie and said that he either looked really tired or really stressed. Stressed is the word! Anyway, when we got back home I called his doctor and he was able to go right then and there to talk to him about the results of his test. Sam and Paul are helping him with his serving size portions on his dinner. Being that we both eat the same...but of course my portions are much smaller than his...I asked Dr. May if with my next blood work that they could check my cholesterol...she said okay....I'm very interested to see if we are about the same. When I had it checked over a year ago - it was borderline to the okay side....

Charlie wanted me to take the ornaments off the tree yesterday so he went into the attic to get the box down. He wanted to begin but I told him that I wanted to put them in a certain way....thank goodness. When I finally got around to begin...he had the smaller (being nice - it was the wrong box!) box which never would have fit all the ornaments in and I also have old towels to protect them in the same box....I could only imagine how mad I would have been if he started packing these away.....By now you all should know how anal I am about my things.

We didn't get that much snow either. With what was still on the ground - it has accumulated to about 1 foot of snow. Charlie and Sam shoveled off the driveway that had already been plowed...so it was easy shoveling....now here's another story. Before - I use to shovel the driveway --- by myself! When Charlie got home from work you could always see the black top of the driveway....and he thought it was the plow that cleaned it so well...Now he knows it was ME that shoveled the entire 350 ft. length - not the width - of it! Anal...I know!!!!

The tingling in my fingers is getting a little better...but it's still the finger cuts that hurt. I've been wearing gloves at night and sometimes during the day (it's so hard to do anything with cotton gloves on all the time)...and I thought it might help. NOT! For some reason, I'm still getting them.

That's my story....I probably won't blog for two weeks...unless there is something good to say....

Thank you, again...for your positive thoughts and prayers!!!!
