4/30/2010 The Friday Group

We left to go to St. George on Thursday evening again so I could stop at the lab to give my blood. I'm still feeling very good and don't think I'm having hardly any side effects, I get a little fatigued towards the end of the days, but other than some gas, a little heartburn, hiccups and the fatigue, I am feeling very well.

We showed up for my appointment Friday morning, the crowd was a little smaller just 3 or 4 people, they got my IV hooked up, it took a few tries for her to find a good vein to get the IV in, but afterwards everything went OK, the Arida went in taking the 2 + hours expected and then they started the normal nausea, Velcade and saline. all in all it took a little over 3 hours. Patty was able to go to the temple and do a session which worked out well for her, I'm glad.

As it was a smaller crowd, we talked a little more than the previous time, I'd overheard a husband talking to the nurse about trees and I started by telling him the story of my mesquite tree breaking in two last summer, turns out his job is the arborist for the City of St. George which sounds like a real good job, but busy considering all the parks and trails that St. George has. The interesting part of the conversation turned out that Tim (his name) had grown up in North Las Vegas next door to Jack Herdt one of my surveyors at work down here, we talked for a while and then the next Monday I asked Jack about him, sounds like they both have lots of stories - one of those small world things.

We stayed the night in Coral Canyon just to make sure the side effects from the Arida didn't do funny things to me. That night it didn't. I got up the next morning and made my way out of the subdivision as the ironman race was going by to get the oil changed, safety inspections and license for the truck, when I got back we packed up and hit the road for Vegas. Welcome to May.
