Simple Sunday?

Posted in Uncategorized by

Well ,probably not since we went to Ikea for the day bed that was on sale. It was a good deal and has drawers under the bed for storage. Plus it was 15% off so that’s why we did it.  Inspite of what alot of  people say about Ikea, I find there stuff well made and I love the Danish/Scandanavian look.

I bought some LED bulbs and will go back or more a good price of 3.99 each. I wanted to try them before committing to them and I do. Let see, candles, which are a necessary part of life for me(3.99 ea), a throw, toilet brush and holder and the Ikea Fjalla boxes which I’ve been wanting so I can reorganize pictures.

We ate breakfast there and the coffee was organic and pretty tasty and free. So a fun date with B.

Dinner is crockpot pot roast with vegies and mushroom stroganoff with buttered noodles for the vegie!

 

Tomorrow are my big labs, SPEP test and Kappa/Lambda light chains.  I had my thyroid test last week and they were both normal. The dose of levothyroxine I’m on is still perfect.

Seattle, here we come!!!

It’s official. we are going to Seattle next week. Dr. Libby is starting a clinical trial and is not taking new patients, so I’ll be seeing another specialist, Dr. Green. We will spend 3 nights there so  we can sight see. Seattle is on my bucket list so, all in all a good thing.

I was think of starting a gofund me account..to help with this expense but feel kinda weird about it.. any ideas anyone.??? Not sure how to do it. But with plane tickets and hotel, food.. we’re probably looking at $1800. The hotel is almost $800, yikes!!!!  Maybe this is why I haven’t done this before, because its dam expensive.Well, at least this will give me a different look at my myeloma. I’m fortunate I’m not in crisis mode. I don’t like surprises, so hopefully nothing alarming comes up.

I’m off for labs today, a few groceries (ha!) ,then maybe a couple of other errands. I’m going to go buy a top or two at old Navy to bring with me to Seattle. Maybe tomorrow if my daughter wants to go too.

Thursday , waiting……

Well, the doctor visit went well. My labs are all normal. But no m protein results yet. So, waiting.  Then called optimum RX about my revlimid. No it hasn’t been faxed in. Ok , waiting…. Called down to Mercy cancer center talked with the nurse. Yes, she’ll fax it this morning. Waiting…… Till @ 1 to call optimum back. 

Rearranged the Star Wars stuff and Star Trek ,but didn’t get rid of any. I told my son to go out there and pick 1/2 to sell. It’s too many. But I did find some misc to give to the thrift store and some western Tepco to sell on eBay. 

Otherwise, it’s a day just to wait till I can get something done. And get my rev delivered for tomorrow . I’ll be at work till 2, but ups doesn’t come till 4( watch, tomorrow he’ll decide to swing in early). Oh well, it should be fine.

 

Off to see the doctor!

It’s Monday, I have my monthly dr’s appt. my blood work should be there, but maybe not the m protein results. B is driving me , then home and then leaving for a sales meeting all week. Fortunately, the weather is suppose to glorious , so I won’t need to start fires, and the house will be warm. We’re expecting temperatures in the 80’s.

I ll update later with results.

 

 

good news! My m protein went down a tad. .33. Yeah! They’ll be champagne this week!

we saw Dr l in a different place. It was closer, but I didn’t like it as much. But, it does save driving into downtown Sacramento !

so, I’m happy and will  keep putting up with diarrhea  and dex. He did say I could try lowering the dex to 4 pills, which would be 16 mg a week. I might try it, but I get pretty stuck on if it’s not broken don’t fix it.
