Merry Christmas To Me And John

I am tired and ready to fall asleep. I love video clips of small children falling asleep at the dinner table with their faces in their spaghetti or mac and cheese. I bet I would look just as funny with my face on the keyboard. Maybe it could earn some money on America's Funniest. I don't think I have seen one like that yet.

We went shopping today and bought each other Christmas presents. I don't see how we could possibly work it out so that we could have any surprise elements at all. I am too chicken to go out and drive to any of the malls plus John really needed to try on his gift! It looks good. I will post a picture at Christmas. John bought me mine at Barns and Nobles. We had fun. It was a very Merry Christmas shop!

On Friday, the Hickman line is being placed into John's chest. The chemo and radiation starts after that. We won't be gallivanting round for awhile. Today was the last day for that sort of a thing. Tomorrow we have an early appointment with the renal specialist. They want him to be seen so they have a baseline for John. One of the anti rejection medications is hard on kidneys and they have no way of knowing how that is going to turn out. He could end up needing dialysis at some point. I am praying that this will not be the case. He has gone through so much and will be going through even more. To have to go through that to top it all off is just beyond too much.

Pray hard that his kidneys can withstand the anti rejection medications and that his kidneys would not suffer any injury from them.

Well, I had better hit the hay so I can get up in the morning with the alarm clock. Good night sleep tight and don't let the bed bugs bite and all that...
