Doctor and more

 Sherry and Mark left at 7:00 AM yesterday morning going back home in West Virginia.

I had to get my blood drawn again at the Florida Cancer Center to check my Platelet levels.
I still feel good, so it was kind of a disappointment that my platelets had fallen down 53 in numbers.

The nurse talked to the Oncologist, and he said to still hold off on taking my medicine and see what the numbers would be in another week.

If the number fall any lower, he will have to put me back on the medicine.

After I was through with checking out at the Cancer Center, I was off to Sam's Club to get a few things we needed.

After supper, watching a little tv I laid down for a little nap.
After the nap it was only a short time to watch College Basketball.

The team Vicki and I were watching and wanted to win was one of the teams that were upset for the day.


Thanks for stopping by and do have a great day.

One coming and one leaving.

 Mark, Sherry's husband will be here today as he is arriving from West Virginia by car to take Sherry back with him in a couple of days.
Sherry usually takes a plane to go back but Mark was wanting a short vacation and enjoy their time together going back home.

Vicki will be here tomorrow as the girls think we need to have someone with us.
Nancy and I have improved very much in the last few months.
We are doing things around the house that a few months ago we were not able to do.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

Friday's Doctor visit

 Yes, it was back to have blood drawn Friday to see how the platelets were doing without taking the medicine to keep them in check.  Without the medicine for seven days the platelet level drop a small amount, so the oncologist said to not to take the medicine for another week to see if it might start going up on its own.

As far as how I'm feeling, I have been feeling really good.  Lik I feel a little stronger now as the passing of each day.  I'm beginning to do a small number of things that I had not feel like doing.  

Nancy is also doing a little better and she has almost quit using her oxygen.
She is still week nut she is trying to do a small number of things around the house. 


Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

Alls looking good.

 Nancy had to be at the hospital at 10:00 AM Friday and they didn't take her into the surgery room until 12:00 PM because they had more patients that needed the surgery room.

When they did take her, it was a short until she was back and awake.
After checking her vital signs to see how she was doing she was ready to go home in around half an hour.

In the meantime, I had my blood drawn, talked to my Oncologist.

My platelet numbers were up so he says to not take the medicine for a week and see what's happens. 

Then we will move on from there.



Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

Busy morning today.

 The good news is that Nancy is off of oxygen and has for a couple of days.

I will be taking her to the hospital early this morning because her heart is beating to fast it's in defib and the Cardiologist is going to shock her heart to beat normal.

While she is doing that, I will be in the next building having my blood drawn again and to see how my Oncologist how my platelet level is.

So it will be a busy morning for us.


Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

Sick and improving

 A Few days after I had the kidney stent removed a got a fever.

I went to a Med Care after having the fever for five days see what they could do.

I was surprised to see a doctor there instead of nurse practitioner or like most of them.
He called in a week supply of anti-biotic pills and said take all of them.

After taking a few the fever broke.

Nancy is still having a rough time feeling good but she is still improving.

Two sick people, but improving.

 Nancy is still slowly improving and all she has been through it is expected.

Besides the double pneumonia she had a slight heart attack and has to be on oxygen most of the time.

As for me I have to go to the Cancer Center to have blood drawn again to see how the platelet level is.

Wednesday The urologist removed a few kidney stones and a blood colt of my bladder.
The stent is going to be early Monday morning and I will be glad because I'm not able to be far from the rest room.


Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

Things Happen

 Nancy has been in the hospital for 21 days and today she is coming home.
I just hope she does not have to go back to the hospital again like the last time.

She will be on oxygen to help her breath.  She seems to have to use it all the time.

There will be some people coming out to set up her oxygen station here at the house.

She will have a nurse come out three times a week to check and see how she is doing.

Also, there will be someone out to help her with her rehab exercise.


I also was in and out of the hospital for surgery to remove a few kidney stones and remove a blood clot
off of my bladder. 
It will take me a little while to get over that.

Nancy and I are very glad enough to have our two daughters down here to help us out.


Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

In and out of the hospital

 I've been visiting Nancy each day at the hospital, but it looks like she may be doing good enough to come home in a few days.

Everything is set up for a nurse to come every three days to help her with the rehab that she needs to improve.
Also the people to install her oxygen machine when she is home to help her breath when she needs it.

Nancy is still very weak but slowly improving.

As for me I'm going in the hospital for same day surgery to remove three more kidney stones so Sherry will have to drive me back home.  

Sometimes it just seems like getting older is very rough.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

Just two old people

Nancy is still in the hospital. 

They moved her to another room in the rehab center in that she has to go through rehab before they release her to go home.
They have a February 3rd date they are hoping she can be released.

She also with all the problem's she has that she had a mild heart attacked from all the stress of not being able to breath good.
They told her she much be one tough old lady, because they've had younger people that didn't make it with what she had wrong with her.

As for me it's another Friday so it's to the Cancer Center to have my blood drawn to check my blood platelet level.


Thanks for stopping by and do have a great day.

Sick. Sick

 Nancy is still in the hospital but slowly improving with her breathing.

The doctors told her that it will be a slow process.

In the meantime, our youngest daughter has the type A flu and staying at home so that left Vicki and myself to be with Nancy.     But wait?

In the meantime, I have come down with something I was hacking and coughing all night.    I'm staying home today and maybe a few more days.   We do not want to expose Nancy with what is taking us down.


Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.
