Because of our little blizzard (20 inches of snow here in Seneca, while they only got 4 inches in St Louis - the opposite of normal), the Joplin Freeman cancer center was closed yesterday and today, so dad's chemo treatment was cancelled. We will reschedule it when they re-open tomorrow. We also rescheduled the procedure in St Louis (getting a metal marker for the radiation, and replacing the stent for the pancreas) from this Thursday to next Thursday, which basically pushes the whole schedule out a week.
One unfortunate result of the storm: they had taken dad off warfarin pills and put him on the Lovinox injection to prepare for the St Louis surgery - and now he's on it for extra days. The med is fine for him medically, but it is VERY expensive; 10 day supply was over $100 copay. We'll talk to the cancer center tomorrow to see if they want him to take it all the way to next Thursday.
Today Gary and I may do a little snow shoveling (a novelty for us SoCal kids), maybe make a snowman and some snow angels. It's warm out there - all the way up to 8 degrees today.
Good Luck with all the rescheduling. The snow sure looks deep and cold. Becareful driving around in Sherwood Forest.
