moving, scrubbing, carpeting cleaning - ugh

Gee.  I am tired.

This entry will be short.  John and I have to get up early to move in the morning.  It was the only day we could get the moving van.  So we have just tomorrow to move everything.  We will have to hustle.  

The next day I'm going to have to clean the apartment.  Scrub the whole thing down.  I have a friend to help.  Oh, joy of life, doing the whole apartment should be fun!  But with two of us, it shouldn't be too bad.

The next day (that's Saturday) the carpet cleaners are coming.  I'll have to be over at the apartment for that, b/c I need to get the receipt from them to take to the apartment office to turn it in.  So it will be a sit around and wait.  

I think I won't be as tired next month, LOL.

But I'll be sad.  B/c my computer is going to be in storage for a month.  John and I will be staying with my parents for a month, while our new apartment is waiting to become available in September.  Ughhh!  I merely hate the thought of not having access to my computer whenever I want it, LOL, for the  month of August .  I may be able to do some entries from my Dad's computer, but, I can't include any photos, etc, for over a month.  And I won't have as much computer time.  So if I don't update much, don't be concerned.

Okay, well I guess that is all I have for now, b/c it is getting late.  

Oh, one more thing.

The other day, well on July 22, I was given the honor of this little award.  

                            

I felt kind of good about it, because I was chosen for this award among nominees from the whole blogosphere, by a panel of judges.  I was dumbfounded when I got it! 

Okay, perhaps I shouldn't have even mentioned it, LOL.  But I did.  Mentioned it?  Heck, I even put this thing in my sidebar, LOL! 

Okay, on that note, I better get off to bed.  I have a big three days ahead of me, LOL. 

Uggggghhhhhhhh, no photos for over a month!  And photobucket is making me mad!  I think it is actually eating some of my photos.  I can't find some that I put on there.  Has that been happening to anybody else???

Love you all muchly,

Krissy :)

John is OK

Hi you all.  John and I got back from Hershey today.

I'm feeling grateful tonight.  Grateful that it looks like John's cancer is not back.  That was the decision made by his oncologist at yesterday's appointment.  

Actually, Dr. C. thinks John is doing quite well.  All tests have come back negative.  Dr. C. decided not to do the biopsy b/c there was no sign of cancer.  

John's labs (counts and levels) were also exceptionally good.  Except for the red cells.  The Hemoglobin and Hematocrit were much too low.  

They were almost low enough to get a blood transfusion (red blood cell packs).  

We are hoping he will not start to need to get blood transfusions again.  He hasn't had to have them since February.  This meant that the Hemolytic Anemia was probably gone.  Now we are wondering if the Hemolytic Anemia could be back again.

What does this mean?  Well, we will take it one day at a time.  Perhaps a spleenectomy?  Who knows.  We are not even going to think about that right now.  We have packing and moving to get through, LOL.

Right now John is getting Arinesp shots (very similar to Procrit shots, you may have heard about them on TV) to help raise his red blood counts in hopes that this will stimulate their growth.  If that occurs, then maybe he won't have to be transfused.

Actually, John is looking pretty good, and getting stronger every day.  I was pretty worried about him about a month ago, but now the fevers have stopped and he says he is feeling really good.  Praise God for that.

Sorry I alarmed you all.  My bad. 

Ok, I have to get back to my packing.  I know I told you all I would tell you how my sleeping is going.  But I don't want to make this entry too long.  I just wanted to tell you John was ok. 

Suffice it to say that the sleep thing has been hard.  First hard, then easy, then hard again.  Last night I guess went ok, but I kept having nightmares.  I could hear the pressure of the air (from the hose of the sleep apnea machine) in my dreams, and dreamt all kinds of weird things.  One of the things I dreamt was that a grenade exploded in my face.  Another thing I dreamt was that I was a baby in my mother's womb.  This is all b/c of the sounds of the air and the pressure from the machine.  I DO NOT like the weird dreams, LOL.  The night before I dreamt I died.  I DO NOT want to have these dreams, LOL.  I just want to be normal.  On the other hand, I don't want to die from stopping breathing w/o the machine.  Oh well!

Ok, I must run.  John is waiting for me.  Love you all,

Krissy :)
