The morning was spent teaching Max. Max then left with Emily's Mom at noon and returned at seven. It was really nice of her to take Max and when she brought him back she also brought dinner! The Ashby's took Jonas after school until about seven.
This kid juggling allowed Emily and I to spend the afternoon and some of the evening at the LDS hospital. We had a scheduled visit. I received platelets. The physician suggested that, depending on my blood chemistry, I may be admitted to the hospital on Monday afternoon to start the next 21 day chemo cycle. I wouldn't necessarily be required to stay for the entire 21 days. No one is ever sure how those situations will work out.
Emily and I had a great time together. We didn't eat or drink enough, this is a common problem when visiting the out-patient clinic. We always commit to doing better. We don't ever do better. But, we make up for it with binge eating. That's good, right? Probably not.
The evening went better. I've maintained a more positive energy. I plan to focus on relaxation along with maintaining and sharing more positive energy. When I don't feel well my natural response is anxiety and when I'm anxious I'm crabby. Let me know if you have any tricks to dealing with something similar.
That's it for today. I'm tired. There is a strange lump in the middle of my tongue and it hurts, the doctors have no idea what it is. I'm also patchy, my hair is. Some has rubbed off completely. I look like a diseased stray dog. It's working in my favor though, Emily has always been into the grunge look.
The picture of the day, Jonas excited over the gift of pickles on his third birthday. I would like to feel that excited about something. It's good to be a kid.
