Week Fourteen

Well we made it through week thirteen. Not much to do this week, so I will update you more next week. That is when I should have more concrete information.

On Monday Jody had her eyes examined to be sure she has the most current prescription. During the chemo treatment phase her eye sight will change and then return to what it was prior to the chemo. During her recovery phase she will not be able to have an eye exam.

Tuesday morning we had her weekly CBC at Rocky Mountain Cancer. We discovered her INR had begun to improve, but not enough so we were told to increase her Coumadin. They were concerned enough that Jody had to return on Friday to see if her INR had improved.

Earlier in the week we became concerned Jody had contracted another bladder infection. So, on Wednesday we stopped off at Dr. Tormohlen to leave a urine sample. We were happy to hear on Thursday morning everything was normal.

I mentioned that on Friday we were told to return to RMCC to have Jody's INR checked and we were happy to learn all had returned to normal. The following morning we returned from the store to hear a dear friend, Kim Allison had mis-connected and was in town on a 20 hour lay-over. She had originally hoped to be in town the following week, but lately the loads (that's airline talk for no open seats on flights) have been heavy and flying standby is iffy at best. So she decided to take advantage of the mis-fortune and give us a call. Jody always has the spare bedroom prepared for any of her friends to visit. We had a great time together sitting on the patio and catching up on old times and what everyone was doing. Jody, Kim and I later that evening went out for dinner at our favorite Mexican restaurant "Senior Ric's". Kim left the following morning (Sunday) to return to Easton, PA.

"Love you Kim for all the love and support you have been sending Jody's way!" Jody has taught me how great it is to have friends like you and all of you who are following my blog. Jody and I love you all!
