Quite a week

Well, I started my 2nd round of Pomalyst about 10 days ago, a couple of days later I came down with another cold and then it was Holdens 1st birthday party and then I got really sick to I called Dr. Te and of course got some more antibiotics, which is probably the 5th or 6th dose they've given me since the first of the year. my blood numbers were a little better, but maybe I should have gotten another transfusion it might have helped fight off the cough, cold what ever has taken me over. I made it through most of work this week, but was very tired and beat at the end of each day. I am having some pretty good side effects from the Pomalyst, but still don't know if it was enhanced by my cold situation, but thank goodness for Josh because there were times this week that I just plain didn't have the energy to do much at all and he jumped in a to great care of Patty, I have to really thank him because I get tired and quite short with everyone, but although I recognize that, it doesn't help me while I'm in the middle of one of my moods. So, it's mother's day today. I am so glad for all the great women in my life, of course my mother Claire, my great wife Patty, our new mother Amanda, and of course Grandmas Mortensen and Bastian that always showed great strength and faith during their time here on earth. I am also very grateful to Linda, who for several years treated Patty and I just like a great mom would. I'm thankful for my sister Cara and my other sisters Beverly and Connie. To all the great women we know, thank you. So I've got about 10 days left on the 2nd round before I get the week off, I'll be getting blood work done to see if I have any left in there that can help me, or if I have to get another transfusion. On the 21st of May PERS is suppose to vote on whether to grant me a medical retirement, which if they agree, I'll probably retire around July 1st. We thought a lot about it, and I didn't want to go out yet, but with everything going on in our life, it makes more sense. I'll let you know how the vote goes. I hope everyone is safe and well and has great plans for a fun summer.
