• Slept well
• Will see the Dr. this morning, see what he thinks.
• Will decide if side-effectorth the cost effectiveness extreme tiredness) are worth the benefits – which we don’t yet, as haven’t yet done a blood test.
• Hospice nurse comes this afternoon comes this afternoon.

No chemo today after all – need blood work first to see if liver/kidneys can handle it.

• Slow start to the day
• Hospice home health as part of the  deal, twice a week, we are ready- I think I’m  getting a bed sore where my tail bone meets the bed.
• Dave bought a Sitz bath from Walgreens.
• Hemorroids are horrible!
• Worked on chosing photos
• finished the (very good) movie, (Eat, Drink, Man, Woman) .
• Rod & Marsh Elena & Maariam, and my new Home Health Aide all stopped by today.

Pray:

For the home health aide and the hemmoroids! The hemmoroids plus the beginning bed sores are the worst. Got a new cream for that.  Hope it works.

Way to get going!:

• Birdie’s daughter and son-in-law drove up yesterday to get her and left early this morning. Oh, how I will miss her!
• Delightful evening with them. Dave made awesome pizza , don’t ask me how I know, I just do…
• Watched “Chopped”, a show about cooking,  both Bryan and Dave do a lot of cooking.
• As this may be the only time I meet the guy in this world…I’d say Jane and Bryan will do well for each other.
• Slept well through the  night with oxygen staying in my nose at least part of it – I didn’t wake Dave up to go to the the Bathroom twice during the night and woke well rested at 7 a.m.
• Took an ondancetron – just in case – for nausea – and then took all my morning  pills at once!
• Gave my last minute “wisdom”: choose the life you want to live, don’t live your life on default!”.
• Dave went off to church to sing on HAT (Hymnal Accompaniment Team) and with our class for special music.
• Linda stayed with me during early service, Dave came home during SS.
• I fell soundly asleep  and didn’t wake up until after 12:30 p.m.  Sure am getting good naps in today.
• Another Ensure and a lime jello for lunch (enough to make the bowels move, which they’ve been doing for the last couple of days on their own), I admit, I  most like the  stuff. by now.
• Walked about half-a- mile  out of the 2-mile venture.
• Started watching “Eat, Drink, Man, Woman”, Chinese (Taiwanese) movie about food, love & family, but will stop for Company
• Gail and Russ stopped by, as did Elena, Loren, Donna, and Aisha.
• We have had the most glorious rain today  -  on top of yesterday’s full inch, another half!!! We’ve really not had rain since June.
• Pretty pretty good pain control since then.

Pray:

• For relief from Hemrrohoids!
• Hospice cannot provide either a fleece or s Sitz bath Not to get bed sores on pressure points, both things I needed to avoid.
• My lungs are getting some fluid and I’ve had some minor coughing, that’s why I like to walk and try to breathe deeply.

Love,

Cookie
