Happy New Year and our Anniversary

 I want to wish each and every one of you the best new years of your lives.

Be extra careful if you are traveling by car.

Nancy and I will be celebrating double as usual on New Years eve as it is also our number 67 wedding anniversary.

sixty-seven years ago, we went to the county courthouse to get us a marriage license and get married.

The court clerk married us and I gave him $5.00 for doing it.

I know $5.00 wasn't much but at that time I was working for the Ford Motor Company in Detroit, Michigan as an apprentice for $2,00 an hour.

Nancy and I will be making cabbage rolls today as we have for many a year.

Thanks for stopping by and do have a great and safe day.

Got medicine So

 Yes, my pills came in the mail yesterday two weeks after being called in by the doctor.

But as I said my last reading on my platelet level showed the numbers were elevated without taking anything to raise them.

I'm not going to take any pills until I see what my numbers are Tomorrow on what I will do.

I hope each and every one of you had a great Christmas.

Nancy and I had some homemade chicken soup that we made which was really good.

                                                               

But the thing we liked best was the Hungarian nut rolls we put together.

I ground up the walnuts with the old fashion grinder I've had for many a year.

We made thirty-two of them and they were really really good.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.

Merry Christmas.

      

First of all, I want to wish each and every one of you a very Merry Christmas.

Please stay safe because a need each and every one of you and so does your family.

I had my blood drawn again Friday and as I said I'm not able to get my medicine that will raise my platelet level numbers. 

I got an early Christmas present because Friday the numbers were elevated without the medicine.  

So, I'm not so worried about having the pills to do the work.

Thank you for stopping by and I wish you a very great day.

 

                                                                  

No pills?

 Last post I made I reported I was on medicine again, but no that has not happened as of yet.

For some reason I have not received my pills and I cannot find out why. 

I've spent hours on the phone to see what the holdup is, and no one knows and some of the places I called didn't have any record of me.

So, when I go in today to have my blood drawn, I will see if someone there will help.

No doubt my numbers on my platelets will be much lower.

I'm not a very happy camper right now!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

On medication again.

 I went to the Cancer Center Friday to have my blood drawn again after 2 weeks.

I also had to see the doctor how my blood levels are on the platelets as they have slowly been going down which is not good.

As expected, my body is not doing what it is supposed to do and now it has taken a nosedive in the wrong direction.

The doctor is putting me on the same medicine that takes it up but on a lower dose of 25mg instead of the 50mg so it will not jump up to quick like the last time.

So now it's back to having my blood drawn every Friday and not every two weeks. 

The doctor will see me in three weeks to see how everything is.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Just living the day

 After my platelet count had dropped .08 two weeks ago this pasted Friday showed it had raised .03 back up.

I guess it may bounce around before it settles on a normal count, at least I hope so. 

                                                                   

I have been having some really good breakfast lately, here's is one of them.   Scrambled eggs, with ham, peppers, onions plus hash browns with gravy.

The next day for supper it was hash browns, sausage with onions and peppers with a Vernor's ginger ale that hit the spot. 

Then the next morning I put together the leftover sausage, onions and pepper omelet with toast for another tasty breakfast.

I had another photo when I went to the park with daughter Sherry and her husband Mark to feed the birds.

You can tell by the look on my face that the joy I had feeding the birds out of my hand.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.
