Day 145 – December 15

Today we had an appointment with doctor Barot, he is my hematologist. He told me that everything was just fine. My blood is just fine there is nothing to be concerned about, I’m happy!

Since his office is close to home we went home after we were done. Normally we do not go home on a schoolday but since we will have company as per Wednesday this was perfect timing. This enabled me to do some little things at home I normally do not have time for.

So we drove home and received a printed version of my file for my doctors in Holland.

There was some mail that we received, some Christmas cards, France, Holland and Germany is were they are sent from.

We had a cup of tea with my sister, through the internet of course but it felt good and not far at all. Both of us enjoying a cup of tea.

After that we did some walking around the stores. This is the Target symbol, this was a Super Target, so we wandered around for quite some time.

I showed her the escalator for the shopping carts. We had seen this before but it always makes wonder what you will see next that makes life easy here. Do we know something like this in Holland, I have never seen it, have you?

The doctor brought me some good news, he told me I looked much better than before, that was a nice compliment to start with. We went through the test results taken 2 weeks ago while in the hospital.

All the results came back positive, so that was good. The only thing, and I already knew this, was my B12 level, that was way too low. He gave me a shot of this and I need to come two more times before heading home. He also took some blood to compare this with what they took from me before and they will inform us about the results next time we visit. I’m being looked after real good, which makes me feel good.

day106-07On the way back we happen to drive by the Goodwill store where it all started some 3 weeks ago. I felt good after what the doctor just told me so I decided to stop and visit the store. As you can imagine it was not something on my to do list at first, it just felt strange going inside. Just facing the site where it all happened and being afraid it might happen again, but hey what are the odds. And of course all went well, walked around and looked around, feeling good and just being able to finish it this way made me proud.

I, of course, had to buy something so I bought this basket for $2.00.

When we got home, we found this card from my colleagues. Thank you for thinking about me, it does me real good!
