Phew, glad that one is over. Frank (father-in-law) was here. He brought me a very cool homemade armboard to help keep my hand still. That way the needle will stay in the vein instead of poking through it. Bob took 4 tries to find my vein. It hurt a little. But other than that all went smoothly. I think it's getting a little bit easier. Plus Frank brought us yummy sandwiches.
I am going to start keeping a journal about how I feel and how much energy I have each day. I'll keep it simple. I'm curious to know if the alpha-1 antitrypsin is helping me feel better. I know I'm not feeling worse, but I think it's time to record it.
Sunday we went to Yosemite Lake and played with the kids and grandkids and Aunt Jilly and Grampa Frank. It was a beautiful day, and we had a wonderful time. It was also Amy's birthday. Happy birthday baby. I love you. Her Pooh bear from Disneyland still sings, 20+ years later. That is so comforting to me.
