Eyelashes!

Not much is happening right now.  I feel relatively great!  I'm amazed at how well I function most days (other than fatigue).  I make my list for the next day at night before bed.  If I don't, my mind swirls around all the things I'm thinking about needing to accomplish!  A forest could be cut down for all the notebooks I've gone through in my life, writing my lists.

Last Monday, our neighborhood Hawaiians brought us a plate of Poni Po Po.  I don't know if you've ever had these, but that coconut milk based sauce is good enough to drink!  I'm so grateful they thought of us.  We devoured them before we ate dinner because how can you not??

About a week ago, my friend Melanie texted  and asked me how long my eyelashes were.  I wasn't sure what to tell her, other than "they're growing!"  And then she told me that she wanted to pay for me go to her eyelash lady to do mine.  What a cool thing that is!  I got them done today.  It totally made a difference for me!  It's another thing to help me feel a little bit normal in this life of mine that has been turned upside down.  Love you Melanie!  You have always been a blessing to me, I'm so grateful!

On Thursday, my friend Geri and I went to the Family History library downtown.  I wanted to start scanning my pictures and she was interested in learning about it too.  What I figured out is that I don't need to tear my books apart!  I can just lay the scrapbook page down on the scanner, and the scanner separates them into individual pictures/files.  How cool is that?!  The only problem is that it makes it harder for me to simplify my life by clearing out stuff.  How can I just get rid of intact scrapbooks??  Something must be done though, I'm NOT moving them to the next house.

I had infusion last Friday.  I also got the shots in my back side, AND I started another round of the study drug.  Triple whammy!  Sarah came with me this time.  It's always fun to have her with me, she's always been so good to me!  I don't like early morning appointments because sleeping good is NOT one of my talents.  And then I'm so tired during the infusion and often fall asleep during the treatment.  I take Ambien at night.  If I don't allow for 7-8 hours for sleep after taking it, I often can't remember conversations, what the doctor said, specific details or whatever.  And I just hope I didn't make a fool of myself.  Sarah would be one to tell me if I did.  That's the kind of friends we are.  😍

My next appointments at Huntsman are for my next CT scan and echocardiogram on May 2nd.  It's easy to get a tad bit anxious as I anticipate what the results might be.  My gut tells me that everything is stable right now, but I'll feel so much better when I see the actual numbers.

I saw this on FB and decided I needed to share it.  It's so true!  Pharmaceuticals certainly have their shortcomings.
