My leukemia's back.

Good morning/afternoon everyone!

How are you all doing today? Anyone getting a new coop this year?

 

[Blooie]

Well, I've had my laugh for the day so it's all good, Debby!

I'm feeling kinda proud of myself. Ken had an appointment in Cody he couldn't miss so he bit the bullet and left me all by my lonesome. Lucky for him - the hovering was getting just a tad old! So I got two loads of laundry done, emptied the dishwasher, and did a little dusting. Nope, didn't overdo - the laundry was already by the washer because the washer/dryer are in the bathroom and so is the hamper. And the dishwasher is a giant 18 inch one so it doesn't hold a ton of dishes. I left folding the jeans for Ken because I can't do the wrist maneuvers with this big contraption on my hand, but the load of towels and light shirts was a piece of cake. They kinda look like Kendra folded them, but they are folded! I also left the vacuuming for him, as instructed. But I'm still proud of me!

Yay Blooie! Nice to hear you are up and about. Take it easy.

Good for you Blooie, it must feel good to get back to some regular stuff!

 

[Blooie]

Feels good to be busy, even if it's not busy by my usual days' standards!

YOU JUST HAD SURGERY!

You so remind me of my mother. You're not German, are you?

Blooie, I totally hear where you're coming from. Sometimes the best medicine is feeling normal again, doing the regular things you do every day. I know it's a balance between taking it easy and feeling like yourself, we'll trust you to use the sense the Good Lord gave you and listen to your body.

So, good good things here in Oregon

. Platelets are back up to 76! Not as great as I was hoping, but I was so prepared for bad news. I don't know why I'm bruising so much, but I'm way less concerned about it now. Honestly, I've spent the last week or so really thinking I wasn't going to be around a long time, kind of sobering. I was mentally cancelling chick orders, selling off birds, writing letters to my boys, you can imagine how well I've slept this last week. Now everything looks shiny and new

.

I'm still going ahead with the biopsy, deciding between having it done here or driving to Portland. Waiting for Honey to call me back to get his input then I'll go ahead and schedule things.

Um, yes I am. But I'm married to a Scot and identify with Scotland very strongly? Does that mean something?

Like I'm cheap and stubborn?

Yippeee! Not perfect news but anytime the news is better than expected that's a good thing!!

And on a lighter note, I bought my first pair of reading glasses today

. Stupid eyes. I'm getting tired of not being able to see things. When did they start printing everything do dang small

 

[Blooie]

Ah, the dreaded presbyopia! Welcome to my world!
