1. I blasted (and crawled!) over the pass first thing this morning for an easy and smooth four hour visit to Kootenai Health.
Right now I have two standing bloodwork orders at Kootenai and today I needed to fill them both. The transplant team told me, after my May 12th visit, to get once a week labs after they took me off of a medication, so I had that lab drawn. I see Dr. Bieber next week, so I had labs done for him in preparation for our appointment.
Next I did some ultrasound preparation and skipped over to the west entrance of the clinic where it was time to have pictures taken inside my body.
First, I descended into the basement and had a chest x-ray performed and then an ultrasound of my native kidneys and my bladder.
Then I rocketed up the elevator to the third floor where my hip and lower spine were scanned to check out my bone density.
2. I enjoy the Breakfast Nook's Frisco Burger, so I dashed over there and had lunch. I had a complimentary car wash coming at Squeaky's, got that done, and I fueled up at Costco and went in the store to replenish our supply of olive oil, paper towels, and toilet paper.
3. I was drained.
The sun was having its draining effect on me.
Even though things went beautifully at the clinic, having procedures done fatigues me.
I was more than ready to go home.
I put the Grateful Dead station on the satellite radio, stayed alert behind the wheel from CdA to Kellogg, arrived home, let Copper out of the Vizio room, brought the Costco purchases in the house, tended to Gibbs, and then flopped on top of the bed's covers and passed out.
I fell into a double coma nap with Copper at my side and, even when I woke up, spent the rest of the afternoon and evening getting my energy and oomph back.
It returned.
I then had a replenishing night's sleep.
