A most productive day!

I really got a lot done today. First, I forced my sister to be my escort and dragged her around to all of the places I needed to go. I've been shopping for a Physical Therapist for my leg weakness, but until I find the right one, I decided that the best thing I can do for my legs is walk! I mean, in the house, how far can I go? I go from my bedroom to the kitchen to the living room or the bathroom and how many steps can I possibly be taking? So, I decided to do some walking and since the weather is not exactly conducive to outside walking, inside walking it is.

First stop, Costco. I got myself a wagon and walked and walked. As long as I'm holding on to the wagon it's ok and Illana and Rachel were there to help me. The more I walked the stronger my legs felt. Then we dropped Rachel off at home and went to Illana's nose doctor (she broke it a little skiing, remember? B"H she's ok). Then to CVS where I went up and down the aisles. Then Illana needed to make a return at Michael's, where I went up and down the aisles. Then on to the supermarket, where once again, I went up and down the aisles. OK, so yeah, now I'm exhausted, but I still feel better than I have. I feel like I got a lot done and that I got some much needed exercise.

I think the reduction in the evening Prednisone is letting me get a little more sleep, too. So, this is all pretty positive. I have an appointment at the hospital tomorrow at 11. My Sunshine is taking me! Hopefully I won't need any transfusions. I wonder how many non-transfusion visits will mean the removal of the catheter...or does it depend on the CBC? The nurse was just here and changed my dressing and flushed the lines. I think I'm ready for a little nap.

Thanks again for all of your prayers and good wishes.
