Negative

 I finally tested negative for covid on Friday.  I will do another test today, as recommended in the test kit literature, to be sure I am truly clear of the virus.

Dave has stayed well, and is out of danger at this point. From me, anyway.

The other thing that came up negative for any indication of injury was the shoulder-blade-area ultrasound that I had on Thursday.

SO.  SOMETHING happened in there that caused me to have excruciating pain and internal blood loss, but, so far, we still don't know WHAT.

The big swelling is completely gone, now, the bruises are mostly gone, and most of the pain is gone as well.  It's just a bit sore, and gets weirdly uncomfortable if I do too much with my right arm, and after a full week of sitting at my desk, using my mouse.

Tonight will mark three weeks since the popping sound.

My nurse said that we might do a CT, or an MRI, if it gets bad again... Ugh.

Maybe my routine CT, to see if the chemo is working, will find something...anything... to explain what happened, so maybe it won't happen again!

We had some more lovely rain this past week, and the back yard weeds are going crazy!  I pulled some out of my gardening barrels yesterday (very careful not to hurt myself).  The soil was moist and loose, so they came out very easily.

I'm starting to think about what I want to do in the yard this year, and some of it involves possibly renting a roto-tiller.... or asking if our occasional yard guy can do it for us.

My wildflower mound, which was completely taken over by lambs quarters last year, needs to be cleared out, tilled, and re seeded....SOON.  We shall see.

Plans are coming together for a trip to Chicago next month to see my family, and to meet my Great Niece.

My doc has re arranged my treatment plan by one week so that we can be in Chicagoland at the same time as our dear friend, Cathy.  Hoping to arrange some time with her, though our schedules only match up for one full day.

Today is mostly about me finishing my weekly chores, maybe doing some spiritual work, and, hopefully, spending some time outdoors.

My next treatment is this coming Wednesday, so I will get my labs drawn on Tuesday.  Will be checking out the new-to-me walk in lab.

I'll also ask doc about when we need to do a scan, and when he wants me to go for my every-three-months echo cardiogram. 

Have a good week!

Addendum... NEGATIVE!
