Thanks for letting us know Ann that you’re home. Get some rest and behave!

I'm exhausted after the blood donation. Not from being down a pint, but from all the difficulties of both starting and ending it.

 

Paul, my DH donated platelets for years and felt the same way every time. He hates needles and they hate him too. I hope it passes quickly and that you feel better.

I'm home, had a lovely 2-hour nap and I'm cooking a Dr. Oetker pizza with mushrooms, to which I have added bacon and artichokes.  I'm hungry - very little discomfort and I'm very pleased it's all over.  Thanks and you can take me off the list, Vanessa!  And thank you to everyone sending out good vibes for me.

 

 

Ann, such great news!  Have a good nights sleep.

Lenda I think you're right.  They've settled down now, and one of them is even lying down relaxing.   I've been trying to wear them out with one of their favorite toys.  Nap time should be soon, right???? As I keep telling them, it's a very good thing that I love cats.

Sharon this looks really good, thanks!  

I hope you enjoy them!  I really like the bone in thicker cut pork chops, the ones that look like a T-bone steak. We buy them from TJ’s but I’m not sure you have one in your area.

@Sharon in AZ Hi Sharon! 

 

Allen has pretty much cleared his eczema up. He has a few breakouts but overall he's doing good.

 

He still has not gained his pound... I think the morning we go to the doctor I'll make him biscuits and gravy, and a big bowl of grits!

Hi Joy!  So glad Allen is doing better with the eczema. I have breakouts too. 
 

Add some ham or bacon to the biscuits and gravy!!  BTW, that is one of Craig’s favorite meals.

@Vict0riann Ann so glad you are home and doing well. Have a good night's sleep!

I’m glad you’re home and all seemingly went well.  I hope you heal well.

My energy level recovered just in time for bed, with the result that I was awake until about 4:00 a.m. My arm is not as bruised as I expected, but there is a needle track running crosswise to the vein.

 

Yesterday there was an open cot for double red cells by apheresis and they "invited" me to do it. Needles in both arms. Tried once ca. 2002 and was told never to do it again.
