1. Another day on the road today. The wet snowflakes falling this morning didn't have much detrimental effect on the roads, so I had no problem zipping out to Kingston to pick up Ed.
I drove Ed to the Kootenai Medical Center's Cancer Center where Ed is nearing the end of about four weeks or so of radiation treatment.
Everything went smoothly there and we headed down to the Coeur d'Alene Casino to spend some time taking our minds off of cancer and kidney transplants and other stuff for a while and just relax.
2. Upon arriving, we went straight to the Red Tail Bar and Grill for breakfast. Ed doesn't eat much in the late afternoon or evenings as a way to prepare for his treatments, so he was really hungry and, as it turned out, I hadn't eaten anything since dinner on Tuesday.
Ed enjoyed his breakfast burrito and I was very happy with my half order of biscuits and gravy and a couple scrambled eggs and hash browns.
The hash browns were especially fun for me because potatoes are high in potassium and, most of the time, I need to eat foods lower in potassium. But, my potassium levels were great on Tuesday and I knew I could enjoy these potatoes and then lay off of spuds again until my January 27th labs.
I played some games I enjoy a lot, tried a few new ones, didn't have much luck, but succeeded in having a relaxing time.
I also protected myself the entire time on the casino floor by wearing a mask and putting on vinyl gloves.
3. Back home, I browned and then roasted a Trader Joe's Peppercorn Garlic Pork Tenderloin and fixed a combination of onion, red pepper, and yellow squash with leftover basmati rice, heated up in the tenderloin's drippings.
It was a simple and delicious dinner with a perfect amount of leftovers for Debbie to have for lunch on Thursday and for us to do something with at home.
