12:10 - Went to IPOP. Our Nurse, Kyong took Don's weight and it was back to his normal weight - the 10 lbs he gained yesterday was gone (wish it was that easy for me *L*). Took bloodwork to check the Sodium & Potassium levels which which up yesterday, thus the reason for the quick return today. After bloodwork we have to hang around for about 2 hours - went to get some lunch and just to wait around - went back up around 2:05 - results weren't in yet so waited a bit longer. While waiting we met our Nurse Practictioner, Kelly Sahl. She will be our Nurse for the next 6 weeks - well she's pregnant so if she delivers early we will get a new nurse but for now she's ours. She just talked to us for a bit - listened to Don's chest - and just answered any questions we had. 2:40 - results were in and his levels were normal and we were free to go *yippeee*
Wasn't a long day but long enough - Don was very tired when we got home and rested until I fixed dinner. After dinner I gave him his Neupogen shots and at 9:00 p.m. had to flush the catheter. Feeling very comfortable with those 2 procedures - tomorrow I change the dressing over the catheter - not at the total comfy stage but it's coming.
Don's watching a little football and relaxing - think it will be an early night for him. Tomorrow the family is coming over and Mark & Brina are making supper - can't wait for that!!
Oh meant to mention before I started the days activities - Happy 35th anniversary to Don and me!! Long time huh? For sure, but here's to many many many more!!
