Day 84

Went in for my blood test and visit before getting my vidaza shots but my creatinine went up again to 1.4, even though I'M DRINKING A TON, so I'm not starting the shots until next week. They've re-ordered the home health liquids for me so I can get 500mL directly into my veins which hopefully will be better at clearing stuff out of my system. So I have the baby bottles again from today until Thursday, and then they'll decide what else needs to be done.

I did get home earlier than usual, though, because I didn't have to stay longer for an extra bag of whatever, so on the way home Mom took me to Target to buy cards for the parties I'm going to this weekend (Allie's wedding + Lauren's bridal shower) and socks for Patrick, who has been running low on socks for a while.

Since we got home at noon, I actually ate a real lunch at home for once (Dad's soup and potato/apple hash) and got the school newsletter done in a reasonable time frame. We watched a couple more episodes of Warehouse 13, and Patrick got home in time to see the end of the one with Jewel Staite and Sean Maher guest starring (from Firefly), and decided that maybe this show is okay and he'll watch it with me.

We went out to dinner with Ryan and Micaela and then to bowling at 300 because we had a groupon that was expiring and we figured that going on a Monday night would be good for me because it wouldn't be crowded or have tons of kids. Apparently we were wrong. There were kids on both sides of us that weren't being controlled by their parents AT ALL and kept running in front of us while we were trying to bowl. Micaela almost smacked one with her bowling ball, which would not have been good for anyone. And their parents were watching them the entire time! Just not saying anything. Some other lady a few lanes over came to talk to one of them and tell them that they can't play ring-around-the-rosie wherever they want, they'll get hit by a bowling ball... it was not a pleasant bowling experience. I did find out that I can bowl about the same left handed as right handed though, as it hurt my line to bowl right handed. We left early without playing our second game because it was so crowded and stressful.
