Snowy Day "Blogger Thoughts"

    This week has been going by so fast again.   I have recovered from all the obvious side effects from the chemo treatment, 10 days ago,  but of course, that doesn't mean "chemo brain" or whatever low immune system I have isn't still with me.
    I regret that I have never been able to go back to the Y to swim since my cold, then this freezing COLD and now flu germs in the air.
   A few days ago I had the weirdest bout with nose bleeds.  Six within a 12 hour period.  Not fun, but I figured out what to do and haven't had any since.  I made it much more humid in our house, learned about squeezing off the nose for 10 minutes at a time, and applying ice packs to the cheek with the nostril side.  Oh yes, swallowing blood is  not  good...so, leaning over a sink while you bleed is helpful😏  And, I stopped taking my Eliquis for 2 times since my sis told me that that could be making my platelets low which could cause the nose bleed.  Good thoughts from my sis!  It is one thing to have a nose-bleed, it is another thing to have it while you are in Krogers.   So, there I am, fishing around for my tissues in my purse with one hand, using my elbow to steer the cart and walking quickly back to the meat department to ask for a bag of ice, all the while steering the cart with my elbow. 😏
    I have already gotten most all my stuff out that I will pack for Colombia.  I am so excited about the trip, just being "normal" and doing "normal" things helps so much.   I am praying for good traveling weather both ways!  And I am praying for healthy days while we are there:)
    I am so thankful for my family members who step up to help on everything that comes up.  I know I have mentioned it before but it is always close to my heart.
    Today it is snowing but we will have warm temperatures this coming weekend...that is my kind of weather.
     Just a short update  this week💜
