The iron infusion went well. I had Pat as my nurse again and she acted like she was glad to see me. They require the first iron infusion to last 30 minutes and then I have to sit 30 minutes to see if I have a reaction. It was smooth sailing. Future infusions will probably take 30 minutes plus the time in the waiting room and prepping me for the infusion. Pat put the IV in without any trouble and without any pain. What a pro!
I kept thinking how I was going to keep the insulation from coming through the hole in the closet. I finally wedged the foam back into position and then taped the hell out of it. Hopefully it will hold until I give up the ghost.
I got that done pretty easily. What took time was emptying the closet and vacuuming the insulation that fell onto everything. I’ll be finding pieces of insulation for the next 10 years.
I put out the camping gear for Viet Vets pickup tomorrow. Prior to that I texted some neighbors to see if they wanted any of the stuff. Ivan and Gigi came over and took a good bit of camping gear. They want to do a tour of the west pretty soon. Hopefully some of the other neighbors will want some of the stuff that’s left.
My friend in the Big Bend area just texted me she has electricity and her generator has been repaired. The generator died a couple of days ago and she lost everything in the refrigerator and freezer. The power people in the area were from Iowa. It’s nice to know that something works right when power people from all over the U.S. come to the aid of areas hit by disasters.
Tonight is movie night and I get to see Chris and Tucker again.
Stay tuned!
