[My] Life in Wisconsin

Gales of Novem~Brrr?


   Casey. At her last infusion.

Good Morning All;
I must keep this short this morning- Casey has her infusion scheduled early, and it is a day to bring out the winter jackets.
Yesterday was an odd day- with tornadoes south of us, and thunderstorms that rumbled on and off overhead as I went about my day.
When Punk and I were outside for her last potty break last night it was nice out there, (stockinged feet). The rains were done, and it was probably in the mid 40's or so- and calmer too.
Quite a different story this morning- as the windchill hovers around +10°F. Sustained winds are in the mid to upper 20mph, and my air exchange cover over the stove rattles occasionally.
There is even a draft in the house; (more specifically on me), and I am trying to psyche myself up to get in the shower.

We have no snow as yet- which makes the wind and temps seem that much worse for some reason. (I am not complaining about the lack of shoveling either). hehehe

If you can stand it, I am complaining about my back. Not sure what 'new' thing I did, but it got so bad last week that Casey threatened to bring me to the hospital. I finally caved, and at least made that phone call on Thursday- Returning my call by 7:30 on Friday, they had set up an early appointment for Monday.
Long story short, yesterday the doctor spoke of cement for my back? Hmmm...
I also needed another panel of xrays to determine *if* I have something new going on, or if it is an old and exacerbated thing.
The tech in the radiation dept tried to kill me! I swear he did. I also kept repeating to myself that the end is supposed to justify the means. The back~bend position was the worst; although laying on my side on a hard cold table wasn't much to my liking either.
I drove that disc back across town as soon as I had it too. Must now make an appointment for her to discuss her findings. (Crap).
Since I am mobile, albeit in a snail way, I'd best not complain about glowing in the dark either.


I'd better close- Must get an earlier start as we have to stop over to Randy's before we go to Casey's infusion.

Good Lord, can I shower somehow without removing my nice warm pj's?!?

Love to all.
Be safe and warm.

XOXO
Me



For a Few of you

I need a little input...
I have this growing on my hip... --->
(Please pardon my stretch marks; as they are proof that I carried all 4 of these daughters of mine).
Know too that my skin is darker, and the red is brighter.

I will wait 'til we get back from MN to check it out. But I do not like this. Have kept an eye on it for a few months and recently it has doubled in size. (It is about 1/2 an inch now- and no longer a potential 'freckle').

Does anyone know about this? Things to look out for?
As you may/may not know, my birthmother has skin cancer...

XOXO
Me
 
Say NOTHING to Casey!
