On the one hand, Sweetie had another serious case of gout, followed by the three-days of the flu, followed by "that time of the month." She also had to dialyze in the middle of all of this. In a word, "challenging".
On the other hand, Sweetie's dialyzing, although sometimes painful and there are complications, seems to be working. We were informed last week that she can go twice per week, rather than stay at three times. This is very very good news - quite heartening.
We also enjoyed a couple of days in Las Vegas this week: me for a trade show and Sweetie for some "fun-and-games." A great dinner was shared at Emeril's ('bam!') and yes, some shopping. The only bummer, the Star Trek Show is no longer at the Hilton. We were both looking forward to being assimilated.
And too, we also had a great birthday weekend -- NO GOUT THIS WEEKEND! We celebrated by our enjoying a day of skiing at one of our favorite ski resorts. We were there at 9 am and had four runs before 10! Sweetie even risked having a snuggler (hot chocolate and peppermint schnapps with whipped cream - the adult peppermint patty).
Sweetie even played 'Happy Birthday' for me on her ukulele!
I guess, all for now - have a good attitude and please take care!
