UPDATE -- Anniversary

ChemoSabe is not a happy camper tonight. The pain in his calf is now so bad he can hardly walk. He pulled his cane out and I haven't seen it since 1998. I looked his leg over when he came home and the back of it is pretty well swollen, but I see no redness. He has been in the recliner all evening.

The RN niece came over with hubby and child and looked it over. She thinks, as he, that it is just a pulled muscle. We both agree he should have it checked out tomorrow. I pulled out some instant hand warmers from our biker gear and placed them on the back of his leg and secured them with an ace bandage and elevated it. He asked for a pain pill, which is highly unusual and he is out.

Our anniversary dinner, you ask? His favorite, of course -- Digorno Supreme pizza. Tomorrow evening we will be having filet Mignon with baked potato.

UAMS has been switching our schedule around a bit. I hope it has nothing to do with the insurance deal today. The insurance company advised me they had contacted UAMS before they called me. I am curious if the insurance is void on the UAMS treatment or on any other type of illness through the end of the year. I am also concerned about the medication coverage as he needs four refills before the weekend. Questions I did not think of today during our conversation. I will be calling back tomorrow.

All-in-all, we had a very good evening. I got some needed housework and washing done. Didn't get around to Woody's cage, I didn't beat the dogs and nor did I scatter the fish. I did rearrange the spare bedroom and the sunroom. Those of you familiar with me know I have to rearrange a room at least once a month. Our two blinds dogs hate me when that happens.

Billy's WBC is coming down rapidly. He is happy about that. Still has some nausea, but the clinic is giving him something for that. I hate to see them go home, but I hope he gets to soon. We have not been able to see them this trip. Our missed dinner last week was due to my illness. Can't make these boys ill with something other than what they have already. Still ain't been no kissin in this house.

I will let you know at the end of the week how all the tests went. Especially the BMB (bone marrow biopsy). I already have the lollipops and sedative in my bag.

Better hit the rack since he has to be at UAMS by 6:30 a.m.

Remember -- God is good all the time; All the time God is good.

Good night and Love -- Pepper (Turnip)

p.s. -- Thanks for listening to my gripes today about the insurance. Bummer!
