All the results are in, and it’s a thumbs up for our trip to New Zealand.
Edie got the results of her latest blood work on Friday, and I got mine today.
Edie’s counts were stable, and I was better than good. My hemoglobin was up to 13 g/dl (that’s almost normal) from 11.9 g/dl last month, and my lymphocyte count was down to 88.2 thou/cumm from 99 thou/cumm. Even my platelets were up.
I also bought a new backpack, so that I can easily carry the computer (and keep everyone up to date on our adventure) , some Bose noise cancellation headphones (to make the flight a little more tolerable), a new camera with 2 – 4 Gb flash drives, each with the capability of taking 3000 pictures or 3 hours worth of videos. I’m hoping that will be sufficient for 18 days.
Edie’s even prepared enough nourishing meals for Sylvia to make while we’re gone.
Now, all I have to do is pack!
oops, I meant to post in this section……..
Thats good news, have fun….
RE: Computer/Camera
If you are taking your laptop, you can easily upload your video and pictures to your laptop if you are concerned about running out of space on your cards.
By the way, did you get the Mac?
I figured I’d have plenty of room on just one 4 Gb card, but I wanted to be prepared, in case I should lose one, or something like that.
And no, no MAC yet. Still thinking about it.
Marc: Edie’s niece Kim called and she doesn’t know how to contact Aunt Sylvia. I tried the number you gave me and left message.
Call me!
