Thursday we made our six-week visit to the KU Cancer Center for blood work, a consultation, and the $11,000 bone-strengthening shot.  Marci, the phlebotomist, was there, but luckily I didn't get her.  The blood draw went smoothly, and then, after vitals were taken (I'd lost another 4#), we talked with Jennifer, the physician assistant.  The blood results were about the same as always, so no change in medication.  There was a slight wait for the injection, but the nurse was efficient, and, although the shot often stings, it was relatively painless.  When we go back in six weeks, I'll have the whole megillah of tests: full skeletal x-rays, CT scans, and blood work.

Despite some miscommunication, we met our friend Scott for coffee at the center and caught up on what's going on in his busy family life.  And then as always, even though there had been nothing particularly difficult about the day, I fell asleep in the car on the way home and headed straight to bed once we arrived. 

I feel bad that I haven't posted more often.  My energy level has been so low and we've done so little (I went ten days without even leaving the house) that when I think about posting, it just seems too difficult.  I ought to have something to say about the races for Kansas Senator and Governor; in both cases, the incumbent Republicans are in trouble, and the campaign strategies of all four candidates are interesting.  Maybe I'll pull myself together one of these days and blog about that.
