Journal Entry for November 28, 2007 Mood
Wednesday, November 28, 2007

Well the last couple of days have been pretty uneventful with the exception of the call from the  nurse yesterday. My hemoglobin is down to 10.4 and my PCP is concerned that there is some other reason besides sides from tx. I have actually dropped from 11.0 three weeks ago. I am not so sure there is a problem. I had lousy diet, major loss of fluids, dehydration and pneumonia for several weeks. Add tx to that and my body would take a long time to recover. But I guess it is better to be safe than sorry so they are sending me to a specialist in Indianapolis. They will notify me of the appointment date and time. Still no results on the CAT Scan. Hopefully tomorrow.

Vickey was off today so we spent some time playing games. Then the technician from our Internet provider came and finally got us back up and running 100%. It is nice to be able to get things done.

Weather turned a little warmer (52 degrees) today but it won't last long. Supposed to drop back down itno the 20's tonight and only hit 34 as the high tomorrow. It's late fall in Illinois, so one should expect this.

Vickey's back is doing much better. She fixed some awesome cheese/potato soup for supper tonight which I over indulged on ( Can you all say oink oink?). My appetite has been unquenchable. Since coming home from the hospital three weeks ago I have gained back 18 of the 25 lbs. that I lost. My jeans have stopped falling down, (can we say plumber butt crack?) I no longer have to run around in the shower to get wet. Why then am I not recovring more quickly? I suppose I am being impatient. Anyhow, as dangerous as it is to pray for patience I am doing just that.

Be safe and strong my brothers and sisters. We love you all and pray for you daily.

    Bless your heart. I am glad that you are slowly gaining the weight back that you've lost. Yes, patience is difficult to have when you are faced with what you have lately. I love your sense of humor about...Oink, Oink, the plumber butt crack, and the joke about running around the shower to get wet. How hilarious! LOL!! Thanks for making me laugh. I pray for good health, prosperity, and much laughter and smiles upon you Pastor Bob.
    God bless you and Vickey immensely.
    Lots of Love & Hugs, Michelle xx =)

    Give it time grasshopper....

    They say it takes at least half the time you were on tx to get rid of most of the toxins....others say it can take up to a year, still others say it is a permanent fact of life. I dunno, I do know what Tatt says, it is what it is....are you very, very sure you want to pray for patience????
