It’s a beautiful day here in N CA. The weather is just great. We just got back from our walk and the park was empty except for the many Canada goose families. Yesterday I did 1.6 miles so I’m getting close to my 2-mile goal. My knee did feel a little stressed after that but it seems to pass more quickly now. I’m also wearing my brace less and less.
A Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there of human kids or furry kids.
My son plans to do a lunch BBQ for us all and then head off to Sacramento to move more stuff into their apartment.
The week ahead looks good. I have my doctor appt on Thursday and I will want to discuss the dex stuff and my thinning hair from either dex or Velcade. I’ve lost almost 40% of my hair and it’s quite upsetting. I’m not sure if it’s dex or Velcade or both. I checked on the Facebook myeloma group and a few people did say it was a side effect of Velcade. But a couple of people said Dex. And then I vaguely remembered going to my primary care doctor years ago when I was in treatment(2015) for hair loss and I remember him saying probably dex. The biggest problem with dex is raising my blood pressure so that’s what I’ll focus on. Either lowering the dose or dropping it and see how my numbers go. Of course, I’ll see what his expert opinion is.
Other than that I plan on swimming and the gym and the library.
We haven’t heard from the people who were going to do the bathroom so I guess we’ll need to start over looking for someone to at least get the plumbing done. sigh:(….

I may have mentioned this before…….we live across the road from a pond and a marsh and it’s a place that the Canada Geese congregate. They love to party around 3 AM and they are obnoxiously loud! The Confederation Trail runs alongside the water and if I see one of them on the trail I assiduously avoid them – they are FIERCE. Don’t mess with a Canada Goose! I love all animals but I prefer these ones stay on THEIR side of the line.

Happy Mother’s Day! Sorry to hear about the side effects of your meds and hope they can be alleviated. Today is socked in and cool here in the East Bay so far but the sun may peak out later. I hope so as we are going to our son’s for lunch and to play with the grands.
