There's not much going on here.......'spose to be spring and end of year school activities abound. It's still so chilly here that I haven't been out. I am trying to get friends over to help me with some outside work....they offered but it's been cold.
Last week my girlfriend and I went to bookmuchers with my grandsons.....but I messed up and had the time wrong. We were too late to listen to them read but we had lunch, the most important thing anyway, right? I brought Cousins for one boy and DQ for the other one.
On friday my son came over and we ate at a local restaurant and then visited a museum. Two Rivers is the home of the ice cream sundae. There are other places to see but I chose this one first.
the old time bar in the Washington house
They don't charge admission, the only money they make is by selling ice cream, so we each had a Sundae.
I was sooo tired on saturday, friday may have tired me out.
The weekend was quiet and cold.
This week has been busy. Monday we attended the 5th & 6th grade band concert, it was nice.
Tuesday afternoon we went to the music/chorus concert at school. Their concerts are so neat, they always sing unique songs. Grandson J was happy to see us there. He called me that night and we had a great visit.
Tuesday night I went to book club, always fun.
Wednesday I had to set my alarm and get up early :-( for an appointment in Milwaukee with my cardiologist.
I got my arm poked again and more blood was taken. Dr asked how I was and I explained my latest diagnosis to him and he decided to get an Echo to see now my heart is faring this time.
I got the call this morning, my EF is 47% and no paricardial effusion. (fluid around the heart) The percentage is the same as earlier this year, so I am pleased.
In between appointments we had (free) lunch at Noodles & Co, one of the places I like to go. Our lunches were free because one time we were there and ordered a small bowl and received a large one instead, a large is really too big for me. After I was finished we made a couple of stops and then came home. It was nice to have someone to visit with and catch up on 'stuff'.
Today I had more blood-work done, but no chemo. I've never made it to chemo #3.
Tomorrow the Home Health care nurse comes to drain the fluid from my lungs (tues & fri).
In the wee hours of the morning Kevin is leaving for a golf weekend in southern WI. They'll golf all day friday and Saturday and be home Saturday night.
On Sunday 3 of my cousins (who have never been to my house) and my sister are coming.....sort of a reunion. One of the cousins is our 'long lost' cousin whom we've never met. Pretty exciting, huh? Wish me luck!
I'll try to straighten up the house a bit and Kev will clean Sunday morning. We're going to grill out...the weather is supposed to cooperate! YAY!
