Things are finally settling back down for us, and I for one am ready for it!

Bill saw our nurse practitioner Thursday and she thinks his arm and shoulder pain is bursitis. Nothing showed up on the xray. She's given him another round of prednisone and a mild anti-inflammatory. She's only taken 2 of those and he said it's already feeling much better. It was so bad Friday that it was hurting him from his elbow to his neck, so I'm glad it's helping. I think part of the problem is also the way he sleeps. He curls up into a little ball and he sleeps mostly on his right side which is the arm that hurts.

The overnight O2 test was done last night. We just happened to see the rep from the company supplying the oxygen while we were at the dr. and told her what we found out in Memphis. She took all the info and contacted the dr. for the script for it and brought it yesterday afternoon. She's going to pick it up sometime this week-end. I thought it would probably bother him last night but he slept all night and didn't get up at all. The last time he had one of these done it was at Mayo when he was evaluated for the transplant and it was a box that he had to carry with him if he went to the bathroom. This one was a watch which was much easier. We already have it packed up and ready to go.

Our weather has gotten warm again and will be 72 Tuesday with severe weather forecast. Then the high Wednesday is 47. I saw 2 robins yesterday morning and thought that even the birds are confused by this weather. It wouldn't surprise me to see the trees budding. I picked a dandelion in December!

We were saddened yesterday to find out that our friend Abner from Jacksonville passed away early yesterday morning. He and his wife became good friends while we were there. The men were in rehab together which is how they met, and of course Faith and I met in the waiting room! He had been very ill for several months and was in hospice care. I wish we could be there for her, but they have a lot of family there. I've told her we will be there in spirit.

That's about it. We should hear something this coming week about the test results so hopefully I can let you know if he's going to have to keep the oxygen for night use only. See you next week!
