I’ve waited all day to write this blog because today was the last day of my infusions. The PICC line is gone and as Ms. Kate says, my “jigglers” are gone. I still can’t take a shower for another 24 hours. I need to make sure I’m not going to start bleeding. But —- now I’m “this close”. LOL. One more sink bath and one more kitchen sink hair washing. It has been a long six weeks of going into the hospital every day, trying to find a parking space etc. At first Ms. Kate had to wheel me in from the parking lot. But for the last week I have been walking in on my own or I should say, “hobbling in”.

Now, to get through the last two stages. I still haven’t heard about my AFO getting here so I can get out of the boot, and I still have three or four physical therapy session to go through. My therapist yesterday had me riding the recumbent bike without my boot and it worked very well. I may have told you that Ms. Kate and I ordered one of those and it should be here tomorrow. I’ll have fun putting that thing together, —- Not! Anyway, I should have my therapy re-evaluation at the end of the month and then my next doctor’s appointment is the 6th of August. This adventure crossed the five month date anniversary yesterday. But the end is indeed in sight. But —- I said that eight weeks ago and Wham!!!

I think we will go out and celebrate tonight at our favorite pizza joint and I’m going to have a beer!
I haven’t been able to have one for the past eight weeks due to the antibiotics. It wasn’t a big deal it just knowing you can’t have something sometimes makes you want it more.

Pastor Art is still sick with his cold but says he is feeling better. He told me last night that he waas going to preach this Sunday even if he has to do it in his Pajamas. But, the antibiotics they gave him are doing him some good. I conducted his Bible Study today. I’m sure he would have done it much better.

That’s it for today. Happy “Hump Day”. Your work week is half over. Stay in touch with God. Peace.
