I'm going home to Mackay, Idaho on December 27th! My Transplant Nurse Coordinator, Lindsey, and Social Worker, Amy, are making all the arrangements with my new oncologist in Idaho Falls, Idaho, Christian Shull, MD. So, I'll finish out my first month of maintenance Velcade/Dex/Zometa/Revlimid chemotherapy and head home the next day. I've been gone since May 11 2011.
Yippee! The Prilosec 40 mg and Zantac 150 mg one hour prior to my Velcade/Dex yesterday worked magic and I did not have ANY acid burning in my esophagus and stomach like I had in Week 1 Month 1.
And, another Yippee! I bought a new 15 inch MacBook Pro laptop with all the same software in Apple versions today! They threw in a new printer and scanner for free. I went shopping fully intending on getting a new Dell PC, but I (well, maybe Jani twisting my arm a little) decided that if I was going to have to learn the new Windows operating system (I have Windows XP on this old laptop I'm using now) that I might as well learn the MacBook Pro way. They had to order my MacBook Pro today, so I won't get it until just before I leave for Idaho. However, they are taking all of my external harddrives (I have 4) and converting the files from PC to Apple in some way, so when my MacBook Pro arrives, I'll be able to read my many files. However, if my blog ceases, you can pretty much bet, I'm somewhere on the learning curve. Jani is a MacBook Pro user and I'm going to start taking some kitchen counter lessons beginning tomorrow.
Jani and I baked Gramma Rebein Christmas Cookies today for neighbors...and they turned out wonderful the first time...we usually can't remember how to make them each year --- but, we did good this year on the first attempt!
