Oh the Humidity
Tuesday morning I had my weekly CBC for Dr.Winegarden and 8 blood tests for Dr. Nemeth. One was a 12 hour fasting tests, fasting makes getting at my veins even harder. They had to draw 5 vials of blood and it took 2 techs and 2 tries to get the needle in. 
Then I went off to visit Rob. We had not seen each other in 2 weeks because his days off are the days most my appointments fall on. I didn’t even get to spend a full 24 hours with him, because I had to drop him off at 6am this morning. Today he is a chaperone for his niece’s Middle School Cedar Point trip today. These kids are spoiled my schools never did anything like that and It’s $60 a person!
While I was at Rob’s we had some intimate time, watched a rental move “The Ringer” he took me shopping, to dinner and we also saw “X-men 3” at the theatre. He was trying to fit a lot into one day because he missed me so much. 
I may not get to visit Rob again for another 2 weeks. But hopefully in a month he will have a car again, so he can come visit me. A couple months ago his car totally blew its engine and was unrepairable.
Today Wednesday I got the results of my CBC my platelets have dropped 56,000 to 198 x10^3/uL, but that’s still in the “good” range. 
This heat and humidity has been awful, I’ve been staying in the basment most the day because its cooler and we have no air conditioning, but that means I’ve had to go up and down the stairs more. To grab the phone, use bathroom, to let the cat(s) in before they tear a hole in the screen door, etc. Its just hard to accept 9 months ago, I could run up and down the stairs with baskets of laundry with little problem. Now I feel like I have heavy weights on my body and my muscles and joint ache and burn like I’ve been doing extensive aerobic exercise and weightlifting when I just try to drag myself up the stairs 
I got a letter in the mail saying that a waiver program for medicare is being reinstated in my county for the month of June and that should mean I can not be denied. So tomorrow I am getting the paperwork. I’ll try to remember all the info they want so I can just fill it out right there and turn it in, And call and bug them everyday so &^%$# can’t do like last time and not return my call until two days after the program ended. This medical covers hospital stays, hopefully covers IV treatments and wider area of doctors. I really need to find a good rheumatolgist and be able to afford treatment for ITP.
