Back to being normal.  Made a scarf like the wool was supposed to be used for.
Down to single digits.  Only 9 more rad sessions left.

So I have officially lost it.  I call it the coat/shrug of many colours.  I saw the idea of making a shrug with sleeves at a craft show so I decided to make one and it just evolved from there.  It was fun making it and it is very warm even if it looks a little crazy.  Look close and you can see a little of my hair is coming back.  Some of them are black but mostly white hair.... oh well.

I am telling you....push push push if you have something wrong and you are waiting for a faxed request to give you an apt for a test.  I called again today and insisted on a number for where the fax went to for my CT  Scan.  After two calls she gave it to me.  I then called the number and got a person....wow.  He said we are booking in mid December would you like me to book it for you now?!?!?  Do you think?   No I just called to say hello....  Any way I bit my tongue and was nice.  I booked it for the 14th of Dec.  My Radiation will be done by then so no conflicts.  It is a two hour test.... one and a half hours drinking crap and then they give me an IV of the same stuff to go into me while I am in the Scan.  I told him that they might have problems with the IV since I do not have the picc any more....  X your fingers for me.  The scan is at the Civic where I got my picc in the first place...go figure.  Maybe by then I will have a vein again that they can use... I sure do not want it in my ankles.

Seven of these I made for the kids at CHEO.  They will be delivered  for me tomorrow.  The other one Mom made for me.

Mom made the brown hat to match my cowl for the bonspiel in case I got too hot  to wear my wig.  The red one I  made to match my new coat.  The  hair band I made out of very fancy wool that I was given.

Still have the cough but the sniffles are gone.  I got to sleep in this morning which helped the drugs do their work.  I get to sleep in tomorrow also since my appointment is in the afternoon again.

Still trying to beat this stupid cold.  Not fun.  I miss my swing.  At least when I was out of it in the summer, I got to lay outside.  Laying in bed is not the same thing.  Sooner or later the medicine should knock it.  I guess with my low immune system it takes a little longer since I am not helping the meds much.  Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

Took lots of cold medicine all last night and slept finally until noon.  Throat still soar but I am not coughing as much any more.  Hopefully another nights sleep will make it better.  I am going to sleep in the bed and not in the living room so hopefully that will help like it did last night.

9 down 16 to go.  Had fun in the bonspiel today.  We won the B side.  Now to rest and get rid of this cold.  Hope everyone is having a great weekend.
