Myna Bird in Hawaii

Feb13

Myna Bird in Hawaii. My, what big eyes you have. The bird was so far away on this rooftop, atop a pillar, that I couldn’t tell what it was until I cropped the picture to show off the bird. Such a cute expression.

Well, I managed to finally write about 2,000 words yesterday. I think I had been experiencing chemo fog before that because it was a real struggle to come up with scenes. I’ve felt better the last couple of days, as far as fatigue goes, but the broken toe still really hurts. I think because I’m feeling better, I’m doing more, and the toe hurts more. *sigh*

Have an astounding day!

Tiger Taking a Stroll

Feb12

He was at the Fort Worth zoo.

I’m off to write. Didn’t get much done yesterday, but am determined to today.

Have a nature-filled day!

Beautiful Budgie

Feb10

Blood counts were up and down. But at least my hemoglobin is high enough that I didn’t need blood and my platelets are also.

Hope your day is peachy!

Beautiful Bald Eagle

Feb9

This was an injured bald eagle at the Fort Worth zoo.

I’m still feeling winded, but hopefully my bloodwork will show my counts are going up again. I don’t want to go through another hospitalization just to wait on blood. I can do that at home and then go back in. 🙂

I’m off to put my foot up to elevate the broken toe.

Hope to get some writing done today. I didn’t while I was hospitalized this time.

Hope you have some fun planned today!

I Went in for a Broken Toe and Got Hospitilized

Feb8

Yep. Just went in for an x-ray and learned I have a broken toe, but my care team wanted me to have my blood drawn because my hemoglobin was so low. Well, why didn’t they give me blood on Wednesday when I had to get platelets?

So Friday night, my foot was so swollen, I went in for an x-ray. I broke the toe on Thursday. They ran tests on my blood, found my hemoglobin had dropped even more, now I need blood. No problem. Except they can’t get the blood. I’m special. Ha!

So Friday, no blood, Saturday, no blood, and I’m stuck in the hospital. They won’t release me until they can get blood. More blood tests. My blood has dropped lower. No blood. More blood tests. It went up 0.1. Not good enough. On Sunday at 2 am, they finally have blood. I’ve had the transfusion. But now they’re waiting on my blood work to see if it’s enough.

And all of this because I went in for an x-ray.

Hope your day is better than mine. I’m hoping I get out of here soon. But I have my doubts.

Female Goldfinch on the Backyard Feeder

Feb6

She’s trying to decide which wild bird seed she’s interested in.

Well, I have some good news. My initial biopsy results are clear. Waiting on the microscopic ones to come out in a couple of weeks.

I’m off to work on the book! Hope your day is filled with wonderful things.

Predator on the Lookout for Lunch

Feb5

I love hawks, falcons, eagles. This one I shot at the Dallas Zoo.

Well, all my blood counts have dropped. I’ve been so out of breath and fatigued, but now I know why. We left at 6:30 am to go to MD Anderson, and then didn’t get home until 8 pm. I was so worn out. I had 7 appointments and thankfully, my daughter took me because I had to get a bone marrow biopsy. I’m so sore. I had to get platelets. If my hemoglobin doesn’t rise next week, I’ll have to get blood. They took 14 vials of blood from me. I’m already low on blood. lol

Hope your day is super fun!

Blue Jay and Red Bellied Woodpecker Showdown

Feb4

Who wins? The woodpecker is a juvenile and the blue jay normally doesn’t bow down to other birds. So what do you think? The woodpecker won. Sometimes, even if you’re the downtrodden little guy, the underdog, you still can make a difference.

Today is the bad, terrible, awful day. Yep, time for another bone marrow biopsy. It’s been about 5 months since I’ve had one, so much better than every month. But they’re awful, painful, and hurt for a couple of days or longer.

Got to run. Hope you have a fantastic day. Mine will be great once this is over. I have 5 other appointments also. Ugh.

Gnus Munching on Grass

Feb2

Gnus were in Omaha. I wish my son still lived there. I had so much fun going to their zoo and wildlife reserve and all the parks and hiking trails, museums, etc.

Brrr, cold 35 this morning. But it will get to 60 today. Yay. Tomorrow will be 70! Even better. I would be happy to have 70 degrees year-round. lol

I managed to write another 1,000 words on Bear in Pursuit. I usually can get 2,000 words, but struggling to get 1,000 words right now per day. But I’m happy with how it’s coming along.

Hope you have a fun day!
