Day + 82 Still going good

Well, life continues on here in Durham. I think I can safely say that we are both officially bored! We are tired of the apartment, the clinic and to an extent each other. Sure will be glad to get back to Wilmington for good - hopefully in about 2 weeks.

All continues to go well at the clinic. Counts are good except for magnesium which he has had at the clinic the past two times even with the home infusion. He continues to decrease the prednisone and has decreased the insulin a bit. The goal now is no prednisone and insulin only once daily. The main delay has been the very gradual decline that is needed for the prednisone. I guess it is not a good thing to stop it really quickly.

We kept busy this weekend. Had dinner and played cards with 2 couples from Cary on Friday night, a great home cooked meal. We were out until midnight!!! Sat. we stayed home and waited for the snow that really never came. Yesterday we visited with our gang and gang grandbabies - they are so cute. Lydia told Peter that she had a mask she could wear also, and not to worry, she had no germs. Miles looks just like his daddy.

Movie report: "The Bucket List" is a must see. It is sad but great. Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman are great together. It's a well done movie, the scenery is great and there is laughter and tears. Don't miss it.

We have decided to blame the cold weather on Annie, our dog. Ever since we brought her with us to the hotel, it has been very cold - especially at 7AM and 11PM. We sure do enjoy having her with us though. We didn't realize how much stuff she really tracks into the house until the house became 2 rooms - amazing!

We don't return to the clinic until Thursday and then we spend a long weekend in Wilmington. We'll be bringing another load of stuff home so that when we are finally able to leave we can make it home in one trip.

Patient privacy is a good thing, but it can be very frustrating also. We have lost track of one of our buddies, haven't seen her at clinic at all this week, and the staff can tell us nothing. The other couple that we have gotten to know well have not seen her either. It is a bit unsettling because this is a life or death situation for each person here. Hopefully she will show up this week.

Hope you all have a great day!
