6/12/2010 Saturday Evening

We had treatment yesterday, it went pretty well, I met a couple there that were talking to the nurse practitioner about treatments and medicines and I heard them say Velcade, and a couple other things that sounded pretty familiar to me. The wife who is now 73 +/-has had Multiple Myeloma for 7 or 8 years, she achieved over 5 years of remission the first time with only medication, the second time she had a stem cell transplant, but unfortunately she got less than a year of remission. She went to LDS Hospital and nothing but good to say about the Doctors and the whole operation up there. unfortunately for me, our weeks are off just enough that I probably won't get to talk to them for about 3 weeks. I hope things go well for her, they seemed like very good people. I didn't get why they ended up in St. George, but they like it here. I hope to see them again and talk more with them.

We picked up some paperwork, ran some errands and got out of St. George pretty early yesterday. Matt had let us borrow his pickup to take the purple couch up to Coral Canyon, we did that and decided to bring back a futon bed to put into Matt's house. When we got home we added the purple chair to Matt's truck for him to use and/or store - at least it's out of our house. We went to Amanda's house to get Addie and stayed until Matt came home with our pickup that he was using while we were in Utah.

You may have noticed that the blogs aren't coming at 5 or 6 in the morning, the good news is that I seem to be sleeping a lot better, the not so great news is that I can sit down and sleep just about anytime. I go back on the Dex on Monday for 4 days, I am looking forward to having a little more energy again. Hope everyone has a great Sunday and I'll blog at you again soon.
