Gratitude for these things…

I do not have another medical procedure (blood draw, doctor appointment or infusion) until June 26th.

I did not have a reaction to this week’s infusion.

Paul and I went on walks every day except my infusion day. For some reason I was stronger this week. I did not get as short of breath.

The nurses in the CIC have names similar to my siblings. I have been helped by Julie, Steve, Stewart, Kara, and Jenna. One nurse is nicknamed Janice. My siblings are named Julie, Steve, Stuart, Karen, Jeana and Janice.

New hymns from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints were released online this week.

Technology allowed me to have contact with our grandchildren. I got to watch Todd dance, “kiss” Lachlan’s sore foot, read books with Enna and Sophie and watch James get kissed by the family dog all via technology.

I have friends who helped me give Father’s Day gifts to Paul. Rachel Bowden made gluten free/dairy free chocolate cupcakes. Lyle and Candace Erb checked out a wood working business I think Paul will enjoy using.

Friends and family have been kind by sending me cards, letters, and texts which I am saving.
