PRETTY QUIET DAY TODAY!~


Tony went to his radiation treatment this morning.  His PSA test results came back and his cancer is back down to 0!!  Great news!! He only has 4 more treatments left! He is thrilled! When he got home, he ate a little breakfast. Then at 9:45, we drove to Meridian for my appointment with Dr. Dingman, my rheumatologist.  She indicated that the red blood cells are up, and I also have bacteria in my urine AGAIN!!  She seemed to think that I was going to have to get two infusions instead of one. She sent me to St. Lukes for another blood test to check PR3 levels. (whatever that is)  I had to schedule my appointment for the Rituxan on July 25th. They did decide to give me a dose of 1000 instead of 500.  They wouldn't let me schedule the 2nd but Dr. Keller got in touch with me via
MY CHART and told me I only need the one infusion. He said if the PR3 comes back high, he will schedule a 2nd but it doesn't have to be exactly 2 weeks after the 1st. Hallelujah! We want to go see my mom and with all these appointments, the date keeps getting pushed back! He also hassaid my kidney function  improved a little more so that's good!  We came home after leaving the hospital and stopped at COLD STONE because it was the last day for Tony to get his Birthday special, (which was buy one, get one free) so he got two Founder Favorites in the Gotta Have It Size.  lol  We came home and ate them before going to the gym. Well, I ate the top off mine and Tony finished it along with his own! He can sure put away the ice-cream! lol 
We walked our 4 miles at the gym. I took a picture from the track upstairs. I can't believe some of the trees are starting to change ALREADY!!  After we walked, we went to Lowes to find wasp and hornet traps! Then washed the car on the way back home. We warmed up leftovers for dinner and relaxed with a little TV.

Tony went out to hang the traps and I went up to shower and get ready for bed.

When I finished, Tony was in the process of changing out Aunt Joyce's flag. It was pretty tattered.

He's a good nephew!!

All done and back up! It looks GREAT!
Time to get to do our scripture reading and then get to bed. Tony has to get another hormone shot tomorrow and then his radiation treatment. We're planning on doing one session at the temple. We don't want to over do until Joyce is feeling 100%. Then tomorrow evening, he is going to see Dr. Glaettli about his shoulder again. It was nice to have a fairly quiet day!
