Monday, March 16, 2026

 It started snowing Saturday night and it continued snowing all day Sunday and we ended up with about 15-17".  I had invited the family for family dinner but those plans were cancelled due to the weather.  I had already thawed out the meat for Birrea bowls, so I cooked it in the slow cooker all day and invited Deb to join me for dinner.  The rest went into the freezer for our nest opportunity. 

Since I had my 3rd Rituxan infusion scheduled for today, I went out to clear the snow off my car and make sure I could get to the doors.  The snow came up to almost my knee when I took my first step to access the brush and shovel in the back seat. It was heavy and the process beat me up.  Fortunately, I was parked into the wind and didn't have any additional cleanup to do.  

I was a bit leary about driving but the road were mostly cleared except at the edges and intersections. I allowed an hour to get to the clinic and I walked in there 25 minutes later.  They took my vitals, dosed me with antihistamine and Tylenol and then hooked up the IV for the Rituxan infusion.  I was seated in a comfy reclining chair that had a heated seat and vibration and nice, warm blankets. It took 4.5 hours this time and I had no side effects  other than feeling real tired.
