It’s another crazy chemo day! 😜🤪 My phone kept ringing off the hook (how’s that for an antiquated expression LOL). The nurse was trying to access my port and hook me up to the bags. So much for taking a nap😂😂🤪😜.
I was scheduled to get my normal doses of Perjeta and Herceptin today, which I get every three weeks. It’s also time for my Zometa, which I get every three month (for the bones). Nurse said the Zometa was not financially cleared, so she had to double-check, but then it was cleared. Since it wasn’t cleared when I did my labs they needed more blood to get a Vitamin D level, so she pulled it out of my port since it was already accessed. Insurance… 😬😬😬
Then…after all that…the Vitamin D machine in the lab was broken 🙀. So, Zometa was a no go.
I’ll get the Zometa next time. No big deal.
Honestly, I was a bit relieved. The timing is a little stressful today. Our daughter’s car was in the shop so I was helping her get it out. And the taillight is out on our new Mini Cooper, so I need to stop an have that checked.
I just realized I haven’t blogged about that yet. Surprise! We have a new Mini! It is great to have a second set of wheels for those times when we both need to go in opposite directions. We traded our only car for the truck last year, and we’ve been using one vehicle for quite a while now. We have the motorcycles, but the rain has been so unpredictable! This car was a decommissioned service loaner which they just made available the day we were there. It has 5,000 miles on it, but it is still titled as a brand new car and comes with the full warranty. So we saved some money on the deal.
In the meantime, I brought my children’s book and showed it to two of the nurses. They loved it! My primary nurse has an 18 month old, and she bought one for her! Venmo has become my newest friend. She was so excited when I offered to sign it for her as well. She said, “it’s not every day you meet the author of a book you own.” That made me feel good. ❤️
Now, on to dinner with our HOG Chapter, and after that I’m keeping our newest grandbaby overnight so Mom and Dad can get at least one night’s sleep. Like I said…crazy chemo day!
À la prochaine…until next time.
