Great news DeepSouth. Praying your health returns to you and for your complete healing. Sorry for the rough time you have experienced.  

Edited to add; Jesus has helped me in the past "numerous" times.

Next chemo infusion is 1/21 and you know what the outdoor temp will be. I'll be wearing an extra layer to stay warm while outdoor and might help during the treatment.

Here's something that in my brain late yesterday and I don't care for it. Small businesses and others that charge a card user fee I pay with cash to save me or them the 4% charge. I sent $60 with my granddaughter to pay a $55 water bill. I sent my card with her to pay the $288 electric bill at Kroger. I got the bank statement yesterday. I have a $55 and $2 charge for the water bill. The $288 charge for the electric bill, which is fine and $22 charge at Freddie's. I've wanted to go there since they opened near us but with the eating disorder I've stayed away. Guess she thinks I wouldn't find it.

The trip to Freddie's was a "granddaughter service charge" for running your errands. She just KNEW you would understand, ha! Kids. What are you going to do? Least she could have done was bring you back something. Milkshake? Some fries? Something...

 

Good luck staying warm @ your chemotherapy appointment. T-shirt, sweatshirt, coat, and windbreaker might give you enough layers. A stocking cap for your head would help, too. Hoping it all pays off in the end and you beat your cancer.

Yep, that's what I figure she's doing. My son said she could apply to Medicare as a caregiver and get a paycheck.

My first infusion I wore street clothes with PJ pants under them. It was super cold in the room and the blankets weren't enough. He went for an electric throw that helped a lot. Now I keep the PJ pants with sweatpants over them, boot socks, Tee shirt and flannel shirt. A Lewis & Clark field jacket, knit cap, the throw and a blanket over my feet. I stay pretty warm with all that. The jacket came as a set with a waterproof over coat and hood. It's a large size set, just wearing the over coat it looks like a 4 X large. Sam's had the jacket/coat set for $40 about 20 years ago. Best $40 I ever spent for cold weather.

About the same time I got the jacket a small sporting goods store went out of business. Think they name was Fur and Fin. They had a knit cap that would cover your face with a large hole for your eyes, helps if you wear glasses. In the mouth area was something to help keep you warm inside while breathing. Stretching the material a bit it looked like a copper pot scrub pad between w layers of knit material. Does great if you're a mouth breather, not so much if you're a nose breather. It is easy to make with a scarf, pot scrub and a patch over it. I made one for work so I wouldn't mess up the one for hunting.
