..a baker's dozen to go.
Treatment 12 was uneventful. We're there a little before 8am each day, and home by 8:45. Diana's starting to have a little more difficulty swallowing, but other than fatigue, she's feeling okay. She's getting a mile and a half of walking in most days -- that's been a little easier with a break in the heat this week.
We had blood work and a meeting with Dr. C. yesterday. He said the numbers looked good, and come on back in two weeks and we'll check again.
Marie's old nurse practitioner (now substitute) came by today, with a young doctor in tow. They took a culture, so we should hear something more tomorrow or Monday. Personally, I'm betting that her fax machine breaks down...
Meanwhile, I'm getting little good news tidbits. One of my photos of Old Capitol is now hanging outside the City Manager's office, and I got the contract to redesign the Emma Goldman clinic's website.
Our prolific hibiscusesesss are blooming again. This photo is from a couple of weeks ago... Although all of our plants did a second flowering following that two weeks of rain, so maybe we'll have new photos yet this season.

I don't get the fax machine reference, but perhaps I have not had enough coffee.
We did battle with japanese beetles all summer and so our hibiscus and rose of sharon got partially munched. We found "bug bags" that attract and trap them and caught hundreds and hundreds. My father in law says we have to poison the ground too to get the grubs, but I'm reluctant. I hate putting chemicals down and do so only reluctantly.
No beetles your way, obviously.
...on three different occasions with this particular woman, I went to the store to pick up meds for mom or the lab to drop off a urine specimen, only to find it/they hadn't been ordered. The 'excuse' each time was that her fax machine was broken *shrugs*
We think there are shade bugs and sun bugs. We don't see those red and black box elder bugs here like we did when we lived in a white house directly in the sun. *shrugs*
Seems we have had discussions about grubs, though. Maybe at The Homestead??? If I recall, we were told you can flood them out, i.e., water run underground til it 'floats' your lawn.
Then again, I just got out of a radiotherapy treatment...*glowing smiles*
Have a great long weekend!!
P.S. ...just Beatles here *grins*
Congrats on the photo display and the Web design contract, Kevin. I hope you are getting proper (public)
credit for the photo.
Broken fax machine,hummm. I wonder if that's why DonnaMarie's ultrasound scans aren't getting to her Ortho surgeon......... He is trying to get her started with Physical therapy to resolve the hematoma and get the knee working properly again.
Fax machines are evil. The beetles are definitely sun bugs. The Beatles were here-comes-the-sun-bugs.
*laughs aloud*
Thanks, CraniumMan, I _sooooo_ needed that!
NancyTurtle, here's hoping she gets into PT soon...we think that's a critical part of healing!
*doot-'n-doo-doos around da Beatles and out da door*
PT starts Sept 5. I agree that it is critical, and so does her surgeon. I don't know if he got the scans, but he did get the PT arranged.
