The lawn is looking so good this year. But I'm so sad that it seems our big lodgepole pine tree we planted as a baby years ago is dying. We dug it up on the ditch at our headgate where there are a lot of trees. This spring so many of the few pines along the creeks that we pass going to town are dead or dying. Ours looks just like the others. Bugs, stress from the droughts or disease?
Gorgeous morning. Quiet day so far. Feeling pretty good again today, actually noticeably better. It's surprising me that I'm getting much more strength back so quickly since I felt so awful a week or so ago. Probably a combination of the chemo working (?) and I remembered that the surgeon said it would take six months before I felt recovered from the surgery. And its just about six months. So who knows.
Tomorrow is chemo day in Jackson. Rather dreading getting back on that bus, but am going to do it anyway. Called her tonight and Judi is going to go with me so it will be a more enjoyable day than if I went alone. They all have me spoiled anyway and I miss having a friend along. The prescription for motion sickness from the doctor's office was finally sent to the drug store so I'll stop by there early to pick it up before I get on the shuttle. Amy (Dr. Meno's nurse) said the motion sickness pills will make me really drowsy so have to watch that driving home. She said to take 1/2 a pill. But maybe it will be good just to zonk out and get a good nap going up and while sitting in the chair during the treatment.
Charm offered me a ride to Jackson Thursday when she has an appointment up there. I''ve been so tempted to call Oncology and change my appointment, but feel I should stick to the schedule. It definitely would be more fun to spend the day with her. Beverly and Gloria are arriving Friday, and I want to enjoy them as much as possible. If I go for my treatment on Tuesday I'll be over the worst of the ickyness by the time they get here Friday. If I go on Thursday I'll be "noxious" for a couple of days right when they get here and I don't want to waste my time with them feeling sick. Always decisions.
I've made Joe an eye checkup appointment with Dr. Jensen when he comes to Pinedale in August. They are watching to see if his macular degeneration changes for the worse. We're sure glad not to have to drive to Rock Springs.
Sherese came over this afternoon and took another truck load of plants back to their place to get into their flower beds. She is such a nice person. She'll come back tomorrow and take some more while I'm gone. I'll take a box of iris bulbs in the car and give to whoever I might run in to in the next few days. My hands and nails are sure looking rough after not working much for the last six months. As for the art show, I've finished up in the barn and it's looking pretty good to me. Nearly everything is hanging and I took a couple of easels in to put a couple more paintings on. Got nearly everything dusted off and the glass cleaned.
