A Lazy Sunday

Lets play catch up. I guess I haven't posted since Thursday. Friday was much like Thursday except that it was all medical tests. John had his bone marrow biopsy done. This will tell us what the cancer is doing. The last test was done in June and was very good. I hope that this one is just as good. The less cancer that there is when they do the transplant, the better. He had a couple different X-ray procedures. We had a break between these so we walked down to Lake Union and looked at all the old boats down there.



They sell boats there. We have a picture of the yacht we would love our children to buy us. The toys of the rich! Unbelievable!


We met another couple from Saskatchewan. I was wearing my Huskie bunny hug. They are staying over on Capitol Hill and have been here a couple of weeks already. The bunny hug worked! Our apartment is very quiet and we have not met anybody here.

Yesterday John had his Pamidronate infusion. He missed having the last one in Saskatoon because it was to take place the day after we left for here. They took five hours to pump it into him. The clinic here is very nice. Everybody gets a private room with a television. He still was a little grumpy. The people in Saskatoon do this same infusion in two hours. I think that they should be doing it slower to be easier on his kidneys like they did when his was an inpatient. I am going to check into that when we get home because I don't think they are doing it right.

We went to Target in the evening. The Target store has escalators for shopping carts. I should have brought my camera. I guess that I should bring it everywhere that I go.We had to fight our way through traffic on the I 5. Makes me nervous but John seems to be fine with it. When we came out of the store we noticed that we had a flat tire so we have to go find a place to fix that today.

We bought a mattress foam for our bed because it is very hard. We both slept much better last night. We bought a footstool. Now I can make John all cozy by the TV with his feet up.

Tomorrow we have a couple of teaching and orientation sessions in the afternoon. It seems like our morning is free. I am keeping my fingers crossed that it stays that way and I want to meet my blogging friend for lunch. She lives a little outside of Seattle and is coming into town on Monday and can meet for lunch.

We didn't go to church today. John is on a 24 hour urine collection so he does not want to carry the jug along with him so today will be a lazy stay close to home day.

We still have not obtained a map of Seattle so it is impossible to figure out where the nearest church is. We don't have any trouble navigating our area but we don't have a clue about the rest of the city.
