Bob will get his second injection to build his blood up today. We have to go to Newton (about a half hour drive) to do that.
Our primary care wants to see him tomorrow.
I have been playing phone tag with the kidney doctor for the last two days. He has had some labs for him, and has an appointment soon. While we are at the primary care tomorrow he wants to run a renal panel in the labs. So one trip tomorrow, just to Marion, and we will serve two purposes.
Rain and storms are moving into our area, but maybe I will mow if it stays dry.
Pretty much we are doing the same old things. See you later, it is time to go.

It's good when they can do a few things in one visit.
Maybe someone from there could come here and show our lot how to do it
Hope it goes well for Bob.

Well I think the key is that they actually listen to us. We were able to send the blood sample results to four doctors, instead of four separate blood draws. Nice. I told them that taking his blood all the time surely contributed to his low hemoglobin.

I wouldn't have thought that having blood taken often would be good for anyone.

@GardenGerty We have a 30% chance today, but tomorrow into the weekend our chances go way up. Of course, severe weather chances go up in that case.

We were able to send results to four physicians, and get the blood draws all done in step, so that helps. I am hoping that we will begin to see positive results from the injection he gets.

One of our trips last week we got some pretty hefty storms. On a dry day then we went and got new wiper blades.

So, I am seeing more energy from my husband the last day or two. I will be glad when the medicine really kicks in.
