Thing are still going well . . .

I'm knocking on wood as I say that.  The little bit of fatigue I had at the beginning seems to be waning.  I'll usually get tired in the afternoon and have a nap.  Other than that, it has been pretty easy.  The one thing that is bothersome has nothing to do with the treatment.  My right lung cavity is filling up with fluid again. I get short of breath pretty easily.  That was my first clue the last time. (I'm learning!)  I have an appointment to go in and get it tapped this afternoon.  Next Thursday I have an appointment to have a catheter put in so I can do the drains myself.  Hopefully, it won't be in for long.  When they put it in on my left side a while back, I only needed it for about 2 months because the fluid dissipated on it's own.  Maybe my right side will follow suit.

Easter was lovely.  After church, we all went to my mother's house for dinner. My brother, Don, was in town.  It was nice spending time with him.  I hope you all had a lovely Easter as well.

It's a beautiful sunny day today.  I love it when it's sunny.  It's a good day for a walk.  However, I best wait until after the tap this afternoon.  It would be unsettling for the neighbors if I were to pass out on the sidewalk.

Enjoy your day!

  2. My daughter Fiona hopes you continue to feel "okay" and also sends a 'how are you?' and 'we miss you at school' to Ken. You continue to be in the congregation's thoughts and prayers at our church.
