We Woke Up To Snow Today!

The snow is gone now, but it was snowing when we got up this morning. This is what it looked like when we walked out the door of the PGH to go to the clinic at 7:53 this morning.

 

We didn't want to slip and slide up and down the sidewalk so we took the shuttle to the clinic for blood draw and bone marrow biopsy.

This is how it looked out the windows of the SCCA 2nd floor this morning.


We were so pleased to get the gal we like to do the biopsy.  She is so pleasant and good at what she does.  The biopsy went well, even though they had to go in a second time for the bone sample.  Sometimes the bones just don't want to cooperate.  We came back to the apartment and started Terry's hydration - 6 hours of hydration is a long time.

It's fun to run into some of the doctors that used to care for us but have moved on.  We saw one today (the doctor from Russia that we gave a Halloween treat to him for his daughter).  He asked Terry how he was doing and seemed very sincere in his interest.  There are good people everywhere and we are so lucky to get acquainted with a few of them here.

We saw a little snowman on the way back from the clinic.  He stood about 2 feet tall.  I tried to get a picture but with the bus moving and the man walking on the street I didn't time it well enough.   It was so fun to see, sorry I couldn't share that look.  However, the photo I did get was kinda cute too as it shows some of the fun holiday décor our driver sticks on the windows.  That little snowman was either right behind that little white bear on the window or not quite in view just beside the window. 


We feel quite cheerful as we see these and other fun little stickers that cling to the windows of the shuttle, and we feel so lucky and blessed to have a kind and caring driver of that shuttle.  He is one of those good people we are happy to meet here.

It's been a great mail day and we thank you friends and family for thinking of us.  We are blessed to know you and have you in our lives.  We love you!  You are good people and we thank the Lord for you!
