Today was a good day

I had a miraculous good night of sleep last night. I woke up this morning and wasn't in that much discomfort. My GU pain appears to have mostly dissipated as well.

Dr. Kasamon got the results from my last "UTI" urine bacteria culture. It turns out there wasn't much bacteria at all, suggesting I didn't actually have a UTI. Just some other sort of "inflammation". Since my symptoms have mostly gone away today, maybe this is just some sort of periodic extremely annoying thing I'm going to have to deal with. In any case it seems unlikely that antibiotics would have helped anyway (other than placebo effect). I went by Kasamon's office and they took some blood to see how I was doing after my first week of chemo and they also took a urine sample to check it out as well. I ended up not seeing Dr. Somerville since the issues there seem largely resolved. I have an office appointment with the urologist who put my stent in, Dr. Fenig, next Wednesday. I'm going to have to make a habit of keeping up with him I think so that this stent thing gets worked out.

After the visit to Kasamon's office I went to work for about 5 hours.

Before the sun set Emily and I went back to the park and unloaded another old loaf of bread on the ducks and geese.

All together it was a pretty eventful day. I am finally tired now though. Lots of walking and doing stuff. I hope I didn't overdo it! Emily is out driving to put a light blanket on her horse right now. I can't wait until Addy finds a new home. It is absolutely ridiculous the complete lack of care her horse receives for the money we're paying. I'd rather pay twice as much (we might end up doing just that!) for her to be cared for properly.
