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.
