What a day

Having my bloodwork done on Monday shaved about 30-60 minutes off our wait time yesterday. We were actually on the road toward home by 1:30, and it's a good thing. After making two stops and having lunch, I was in bed by 3:45, watched 40 minutes of television, laid down for a nap, and that was that. I got up at 7 p.m. to take my cholesterol pill and brush my teeth, and then went immediately back to sleep. I don't know why the meds hit me so hard yesterday, but I was in bed for 12-1/2 hours!!! I guess I needed it.

We woke up to about an inch of snow this morning, but the sidewalks and roads were clear in the city and the snow had stopped by the time I got here. The temperatures are supposed to be in the upper 30s today, so anything that's out there will be melted by the time I head home. Another storm is expected Friday night into Saturday morning, but since they didn't predict this snow until yesterday, I will wait until I actually see snow.

Sunday marks the fourth anniversary of my ankle surgery. I saw the surgeon for a follow up on Monday and everything looks fine. Dr. Healey is my favorite doctor. We discussed my rib fracture and why it might be bothering me after all this time and also talked about the clinical trial. He is the only doctor I see who treats me as a human being first and a cancer patient second. He claims it's because he listens to his patients and learns from them. If only all of them were like that...
