Day +42 Do You Believe in Magic?

It was another quiet day here in Tampa. Sean spent the day with me… I can’t believe the work schedule he keeps. He showed up at about 8:30 last night to relieve Becky. He immediately set up his work computer and worked (even on the phone) well past my bedtime at 10. Then, his alarm went off at 5:30… when I got up at 6:30, he was at it again… reading e-mails and answering them. Then it was a day filled with conference calls, etc. AND WE STILL DON’T KNOW WHAT HE DOES!

I did have labs drawn at 8 this morning… nothing special. But no infusions or anything special. We were out of there and home by 9. Tomorrow my central line comes out (Yippee!!). I have spent almost two freeking months trying to keep the dressing dry when I shower. No more!!!

Sean decided to take a break from work this afternoon and asked if I was ready for a walk. So we went out in the 81 degree heat and did TWO LAPS!!! Two laps without a rest break, even! The sun did take its toll… I was very tired when we got back. But it was a milestone. We’ll work on the two laps (preferably NOT in the sun) and try to work up to three over the next week. I’m also doing the exercises (got PT tomorrow… maybe some new ones).

Ruth Ann is here thru Monday night… she doesn’t travel light. She brought her sewing machine, a roll-a-board filled with her sewing and another roll-a-board filled with clothes. Honestly, I thought she had left enough here to clothe a small undeveloped country. Maybe it’s just filled with clean underwear. But it’s not like we don’t have a washer and dryer here! Oh, well. She did say we had to run two errands… Talbots and Total Wine. Neither of these stops are going to be cheap. But Anthony will be here to be my caregiver in a couple of weeks… so we have to stock up on some $3/bottle Dago Red. Otherwise he may get into the stuff we like… the $5/bottle stuff!
