7/11/2010 Sunday - Here comes Salt Lake

It's been a few days since I posted, don't know why, I guess I just let life get in the way of life.

Patty's week didn't get any easier after Monday and Tuesday, she was running all week and I felt bad that my little condition just added to her stress and lack of time. We ended up taking Addie to St. George with us for treatment because Amanda's Zoey was having some problems and we didn't need two sick dogs in the family. Addie is a pretty good traveler and we've packed her around enough this summer where she doesn't stress too much over where she is at the time - which is one of the issues we needed to work with her this summer. Bruce and Cara were at the house so we got to see and spend time with them on Thursday night.

Friday morning's treatment was a little strange, it was very busy, not sure why, usually Fridays are pretty slow and quiet, but maybe it was still busy because of the office being closed on Monday. And besides being busy, they were short a nurse so it took a long time to get me hooked up and running, it went good once I was hooked up. I met another lady that has mm and is now in remission doing the follow up treatments. I wasn't able to ask her all my questions, hope I see her again so I can ask a little more about her experiences.

I think the side effects from treatments are a little compounding over time, it seems that I use to bounce back between treatments, but the fatigue is getting to be a regular thing, with some days being OK and others a little worse. I've got a week off coming, hope I can bounce back and have a good trip to Salt Lake this week to visit with the staff and doctors at LDS Hospital and spend a couple of days up there with Patty and Amanda.
