Unusual Winter

Well, February has sure turned out strange, we have had snow, rain and warm temps up in the 60's .  Usually February is way below Zero and bitterly cold !    Today I noticed it was almost 45 degrees !  Wonder if it's Global Warming !!

.

This Cancer treatment is rough right now with my hands and feet numb and prickly like they are asleep.  I called the Cancer Center  where I am getting my treatments and was told its part of treatment.

.

 
.
The picture above is how you get Chemotherapy, nice recliner, Hot Tea, and TV! 
.
.
Above is the Chemotherapy Drugs you get to fight the Cancer cells,  I was low on Magnesium so I was given some by IV !  Before your treatment you have Blood drawn and Tested !
.
.
Above is the Port all the Chemo, Meds, and drugs go thru into your body,  there are 2 lines off the Port which goes to the Heart and Neck !

My Honey took this Pic of me after coming home from a Chemo Treatment !

Careful !

Up early, My Honey dressed my feet, Got my clothes and helped me out of bed.   Then it was off to the Bathroom with the walker, did my duties and when I turn around " I FELL" .  I went over Backwards and landed on the end of my Spine and butt and hit my right shoulder.    Scared my poor Honey as I had to lay there for a while to get my bearing and get up,   I just missed the edge of the Bathtub from hitting my head,  I was "Blessed" !!

.

.
So it's Ice Packs and heat packs on the spine,   Monday we could not go to Blood work and Chemo due to 3 - 4 feet of Snow and the County closed the Roads.
My appoint was changed to Monday at 7:30 AM and I will be there !
.
Streets are Private here so the 4 employees each have a job to do, Streets, Sidewalks, Snow Banks, and Driveways and they do an awesome job and we don't pay for it !
.
.

It just  took only about 2 hours to get enough Snow to cover him up to his Chin !
.

This the handiest little Machine here !

.
"The Beast" brought in to clean up the Snow Piles!
. Time to go sit on an Ice Pack on my Backside to help the swelling !
.

Enjoying all the Posts !!!
