Slowday ..., I mean Tuesday

We were able to spend some time writing one of our missionary sons today before heading over to the clinic for a 10:30 blood draw.  Our Food Safety and Managing Care at Home classes that had been on our schedule were removed because of the cold symptoms Terry still has.  We'll try to get them on another day. 

We came back to the room for lunch and got our mailing info figured out. 
Our mailing info is

Terry Hebdon
Rm 313
207 Pontius Ave. N.
Seattle, WA 98109

FYI - It has to have his name on it!


We walked back to the clinic for a 3:30 appointment.  We are happy for nice weather days.  They are a bit cool, but not too cold.  I hope we have a nice fall and winter so that the walking can take place often. The doctors here at SCCA are kind of on standby until after the surgery tomorrow and they learn what the ENT doc wants for recuperating time, so we are just going to accept things as they come.

We learned that the platelets will not be given tonight, but will be given in the morning.  We have to be at the UW at 8:45 in the morning for work up and platelets infusion, and Endoscopic Sinus Surgery.  We will be there all day and possibly overnight, depending on how he is doing.  Normally it would be an easy recovery, but the concern with Terry is the bleeding due to low platelets.  After platelets infusion Monday morning they were at 63 - not bad for Terry, but not so good for surgery since they prefer 80. 

He has no appointments at SCCA until Friday.  I, however, will head over Thursday morning for the lovely flu shot.  Yippee!  There may be a follow-up at UWMC, but it shouldn't be too tricky.  I'm sure we will be taking it pretty easy the next several days so he doesn't have any bleeding to complicate things further.
