Snow showers cause Emma to stay home

We had perhaps one inch of snow during the night and early morning and the snow plow had been up and down our streets, but it was enough to scare Emma into staying home from her aquasize class and enabled me to drive the Lexus to the BMT clinic this morning. The roads were dry almost everywhere and the traffic was light. The clinic was not crowded, but I still waited almost a half hour to have my vitals taken and then a line inserted in my port and 3 vials of blood drawn. I had to wait for lab work on the blood before getting the Velcade shot so I wasn't ready to leave the Infusion Room until about 11:30 and then had another wait at the pharmacy to have a prescription for cyclophosphamide to be filled. I need two other prescriptions to be filled, but past experience lets me predict that Humana won't approve re-filling either of them because I have too many pills on hand although not enough to last until my next visit on Feb. 7.

Emma finds too many excuses not to go to the aquasize class and I wish she wouldn't because she needs the exercise provided by the aquasize program. Her ankle continues to stiffen up when she sits on the couch in the evening for more than an hour or so and she has trouble walking until she gets the ankle flexed and mobile. Other than that her health remains good as does mine (I think the quadricep ailment that I experienced in December and early January has been corrected by the changes in medication and scheduling that Dr. Tricot instituted Dec. 20 are responsible for the improvement.)
