Meat and Veggies

                                                                     

When I went to pick up Sherry from the airport, I went early enough to do a little sight seeing.

Of course I had to take a drive through Tarpon Springs.

I drove on down alt. 19 I passed an old-time market, so I turned around to go in and check it out.

 

This little place turned out to be larger than I thought.

I mean just look at all that fruit and veggies.

All of it looks like they have been picked.

I could not believe what I saw when I went it to pay for the things I had.

On the inside there was a full butcher shop with three show cases of fresh cut meat and every kind of sausage you could think of.

I really enjoyed doing all this extra looking around, it made for a better day.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

 

  

I took one daughter (Vicki) to the airport and then a week later I went to the airport took pick up our younger daughter (Sherry).

They are worried about their Moma because recently Nancy has fallen twice.

                                                                       

Nothing like some fried onions, color mini peppers and throw in a little Hungarian hot pepper then top the off with scramble eggs. 

                                                                     

                               Then supper time, bite size pork chops fried chunk potatoes and buttered corn.

Nancy is about the same health wise, feeling week and staying tired most of the time.

                                                             

When I went to the airport to pick up Sherry I decided to take a drive through Tarpon Springs.

Doctors and more Doctors

 Thursday, I went to the Cancer Center have blood drawn and to see Doctor Dandamudi on how the blood platelets are doing.

They are 300 well within the 140-440 range taking 2 pills a week.  So, he said to keep that amount up and come back in a month to have my blood drawn. 

Vicki is still with us she was only going to stay for a couple of weeks, but Nancy started feeling not to good so she didn't want to leave with Nancy feeling weak and sick.

So, tomorrow I will be taking her to the airport to catch a plane back to Kentucky.

We told her that after all mom is 85 and dad is 86 and we are not going to feel like when we were even in our 70's.

Monday, I have an appointment with Doctor Siva my cardiologist to go over what the result of the stress test and some more things they were checking out.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

Safe and Well

 We are ok we left Florida Tuesday and had a motel reserved for our stay.

We will start back on Friday, maybe less traffic then.

Although we did not take interstate 75.  We came up on us route 19 and didn't have but small amounts of wait times in the small towns.  Everything was going good as the towns had extra police directing traffic.

                                                                           

We stopped for a short break at a Burger King.

Wednesday just as the sign says "Ler's Eat.

We ate at a Shoney's the last time we had a meal at Shoney's was years ago.

They had the buffet for $9.99, so I looked it over and decided that was for us.

They had four entrees including Spaghetti, Fried chicken and a couple of others.

The salad bar had everything you would want to put in a salad.  

Nancy enjoying her Strawberry Sundae.

We saw trucks like this at most motels waiting for the storm so they could start to work.

Vicki was talking to one of the guys and he was from Idaho.

 

Big one is coming.

 Yeah, who would have guessed it.

This hurricane looks like it is going to hit us broad-sided.  It is going to arrive Wednesday, but the rain is starting to rain this morning and last all day.

We road Hellene out, I don't think we will this one (Milton).

The news forecasters say it will hit us as cat 3 and maybe a 4.

Thank you for stopping by and do have a great day.

  

Here and there

 Well, we made it through the storm.  We did get a large amount of rain and up to 80 mph wind but no damage to our place.

                                                                       

I didn't look throughout the park but noticed this place did not fair as well, it was on the same street we live on.

I did get out yesterday because I had to have my blood drawn after two weeks.

I'm still on two pills a week and this time the numbers really went up from 172 to 270 so the oncologist will have to figure out a happy medium on the pills.

Its fall of the year but the flowers are still blooming out.

Today is college football day and I have to go to the airport at 7:00 pm to pick up our daughter Vicki that will be with us for two weeks. 

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

 

 

Waiting on Helene

 Some of the plans that I had were changed like my nuclear stress test.

Of course, there are a lot of business are closed because of the oncoming storm.

                                                                       

Nancy had me a good breakfast to start the day, she knew I would have some things to do in preparing for the big one.

Scrambled eggs with two kinds of peppers. and onions, that with sausage, tomatoes and biscuit on the side.

Patio table and chairs all bundled and tied up.

Window awning down and secured with plastic ties.

Now it is the waiting games to see what will happen and how bad it gets.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

Storm and Appointments

 I will be having a busy weekend.

I've got to be at my Cardiologist at 9:00 tomorrow morning for a nuclear stress test and Friday have my blood drawn to check on the platelet numbers.

And if that was not enough, we will have to put up with Helene the big storm headed our way.

Since I have the appointments, we decided too just ride out the storm here in the house.

Nancy had a doctor's appointment, but they called her yesterday to tell her that they will be closed because of the upcoming storm.

Of course, all the above is app to change.

One-time years back when we were in the motorhome in South Carolina we rode out a large storm that tore the front off of a motel that was only a half a mile from us. 

Thanks for stopping by and do have a great day.

Platelet level

 Friday it was time to have blood drawn and see the Oncologist (doctor).

I'm still taking two pills a week to raise my platelet level up.

Friday a week before the level went from 135 up to 145 raising .10 not much but still coming up.

After talking to the doctor this Friday, the numbers went up more from 145 up to 172, that's another .27 much better. 

So the said come in to have my blood drawn in two weeks but still stay on two pills a week.

Thank you for stopping by and do have a great day. 

Platelet level up

 Yesterday I had my blood drawn again and the plate level came up .10 that put me back in the range again.  Not by much but it is in the low level of the range it should be.

I will have my blood drawn again Friday and also to see the doctor.

                                                                    

Nancy getting one of her breakfast ready, its loaded with ham, onions, Hungarian peppers, and mini-colored peppers.

And of course, the scrambled eggs.  Hey man that's mighty good eating.

A few days ago, we had a real thunder boomer and the streets in the park looked like creeks so much water.

My peppers and

and tomatoes are looking good.

                                 Wish I had more land to grow a nice small garden. 

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

Results platelet level and plants

 I had blood drawn Friday and then saw the doctor.

After a month without my pills my blood platelets had dropped and no longer in the range it should be.

So, he put me on 2 pills a week for now and seed what effect that will have.

He wants to see me in two weeks.  I still feel good and I'm staying busy but get tired after working 3 t04 hours.

                                                                         

I'm trying something new for me.

I'm trying to have a small pot garden, and no not that kind of pot I'm growing vegetables in pots.

This is grape tomatoes that I started with seeds.

                                                            

This is two beef steak tomatoes; I took one of them out to put in another pot.

This is another tomato and two green pepper plants in the background.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.
