Hope you aren't tired of snow pictures!







If you are tired of all the snow pics, think of how tired we are of all the snow.  I just heard that spring is 24 days away.  That doesn't mean that spring will actually be HERE.  We took a little drive on Saturday around town so that Paul could show me the huge snow banks (in case I don't get enough of that looking out our windows).  

Monday I had hospital appointments: a chest x-ray, blood work and an infusion of a medication which counteracts bone thinning, which will happen from another medication I will take.  The infusion was not bad, even though I had to be poked for it since my PICC line is gone.  It only took about 1/2 hour.  The bad part is that my appointment for the infusion was for 11:30.  I got in there around 1:00.  The good thing is that I had a long talk with the nurse who took my vitals, about the glitches in the new oncology department.  She admitted to me that it's not working and they are frustrated.  So I got to have some input into the situation.

My energy level has definitely improved, however it doesn't last long.  I tire easily and get weak and sometimes shaky.  I am thankful that the treatments are history.  I think that a good dose of spring weather would work wonders.  In the meantime, I will just enjoy winter from the inside and not feel guilty when I hunker down with a good book.
