1. No medical travel today. The effects of the steroid infusions are diminishing. The temporary increase in Prednisone pill dosage isn't bothering me.
I rested today.
I enjoyed being much less worn out.
2. I also enjoyed an invigorating telephone conversation with Judith and we discussed health matters, grief, theater in Eugene and Ashland, and ions. We encouraged each other to make the best of the goodness we each have in the personal orbits of our lives.
I had hoped to travel to Eugene for the Troxstar's retirement party on July 11th and to visit longtime friends.
Today, however, I decided such a trip was too much because of upcoming weekly lab work, kidney appointments, possible infusion again, dental appointments, and not knowing how long Debbie will extend her visit back east.
I'm disappointed, but I sensed this change in plans coming once this transplant complication emerged.
3. I've had a hankering for a few months now for Swiss cheese and mushrooms.
I've fixed scrambled eggs with them.
I've ordered omelettes at cafes with mushrooms and Swiss cheese.
I've had these two items on burgers lately.
Today, I thawed out a hamburger bun, thawed out a chicken breast tender, and cooked it. I sautéed mushrooms. I melted Swiss cheese atop the chicken and enjoyed a delicious chicken, Swiss cheese, and mushroom sandwich for dinner.
It was a simple, gratifying dinner to top off a much simpler and gratifying day after several days of biopsy, infusion, blood work, and an early Monday afternoon at the Transplant Clinic in Spokane.
This tasty sandwich was perfect.
