Momdate 2.3.06

A mixed bag of momformation this month.

Her most recent tests show her cancer is still in somewhat of a holding position. She has been having more pain in her shoulder though so a new body scan will have to be done to be sure.

Her red blood cell count is too low therefor she has become extremely anemic. She received a shot too boost her red blood cell production. I cannot remember the name of the med, it is advertised on television for people undergoing chemo.

The shot appeared to make a difference almost immediately. She said she was less tired and able to accomplish more through out the day.

The downside is that she has to have her blood tested each week until it stablizes. Which for her means driving from Bullhead City to Palm Springs every seven days. Hopefully the shots will work quickly and this will not be a long term task. I tried to talk to her about moving to Palm Springs but she is not yet willing to give up the river.

She is already to the point where she is no longer comfortable driving at night. After dark her vision is horrible. Driving home from my uncle's (he also lives in Bullhead) she was getting pissed off at a driver who appeared to be on the wrong side of the road. Turned out she was the one on the wrong side.

2006 I think is shaping up to be a year of great changes for her.
