1. I arrived at Ed's house shortly after 7 this morning. We piled into the Camry and water skied over the puddly 4th of July Pass and splashed into the parking lot in front of the lab I go to at Kootenai Medical Center. It was time for another blood draw and, as always, KHS graduate Jaylene drew my blood expertly and we enjoyed some fun yakking.
Results started to parachute into my patient portal a few hours later and I liked what I saw. In these numbers, I see stability, small improvements even, and no red flags.
I hope the kidney pros like the numbers, too.
2. On my way out of the lab, I broke my fast at Big Blue Coffee with a chocolate croissant and a latte.
Perfect.
Ed and I piled back into the Camry and jet skied south to the CdA Casino.
I grow happier all the time with this routine of having blood draws done on Wednesday and then heading to the casino for Winning Wednesday.
We had a great time. I fell into a spell of bad luck to begin, but my luck slowly and steadily improved after Ed and I had a conference around 10:30 and agreed to keep playing.
Ed was having good luck -- which continued -- and I was ready to take a chance and see if my luck might improve -- and it did.
My last spin of the day was a pretty good one and completed my comeback.
I now had a ticket to cash in that would put back into my playing money envelope at home exactly the same amount I took out of it this morning.
I considered that a Winning Wednesday!
3. Ed had bought a box of potatoes from the Rotary to give away and he gave me a bag of them this morning.
Back home, I chopped up one potato to fry, broke two eggs over the fried spuds and when the eggs were nearly done cooking, I put a slice of sharp cheddar cheese over the potato and eggs and cooked some fresh spinach to add to this mixture.
It worked.
