2 days traveling to Carson City, They got another liter out of Ken!
Wednesday morning we had the alarm set for 0500. I was already awake and had plugged in the coffee. We are really slow in the mornings, we like to take our time. We also like to be early to most Dr. appointments and alike so we always leave early with time to spare! Lately, we've had a lot of time to spare, but guess that means there's no break downs or accidents etc.We got ourselves ready and I made Ken a simple breakfast burrito and me a 1/2 low carb tortilla that was folded over with egg beaters. Not messy at all to eat going down the road. Seriously. They were both very neat even though I had both of us covered in paper towels in case of drippings! LOL. We left the house about 0700.
We got to Carson City early enough to make a stop by Walmart and pick up a few things. Then with time still to spare we headed over to Carson Tahoe Hospital to get Ken signed in for the 2nd thoracentesis in 2 weeks. We were really hoping that there wouldn't be near as much fluid in the pleural space. They got another liter and there's still more in there again. UHHH. After they finished the procedure they took a chest X-ray just to make sure all was good from where they punctured him. A different area than the last time.
Well, now what to do when they were done. We could have just headed home but Ken suggested a drive. Ok I'm in. We had a beautiful drive to Silver Lake, CA about 60 miles from Carson City. The weekend of the 6th we're going camping there with KC and family so we wanted to check out where the campground was as we haven't been to this one before. Easier to check out in the Patriot other than when we have trailer behind us. Glad we did as now we know which spot is ours.
This beautiful little church was on the way to the campground |

Nevada as well as CA is dealing with the toxic algae bloom problem. Red Lake is a prime example..used to be such a pretty blue and full of fisherman. :( |
We got home near 1630. No dinner needed so we ended up over at Karen's for a bit. Had a nice conversation with her and was able to see baby Amelia for a bit.
This morning was a pretty much a repeat of yesterday morning other than we left at 0600 because Ken's appointment for his CAT Scan was at 0900. They wanted him there 20 min early. Again we had time to kill because we got to Carson about 0720. Walmart was the only store open so we stopped again. Ken got a couple of t shirts he needed and I got a new purse. Bonus, when we checked out my purse that was supposed to be $15.00 it scanned $3.00! I like it when that happens!
Good morning from Yerington, NV! |
Over to Carson Tahoe Surgery Center where they do the CAT Scans. This time they did 3 different scans with the last scan they injected dye into Ken's system in order to get a better picture. So now we wait again.
This time we headed home through the 15 mile Ft. Churchill dirt road. It's a drive we've been wanting to make, but haven't. Today changed that! Actually a very nice drive and very interesting.

Cute don't ya think?! |
This "residential area" was close to 3 miles in |
Needs a little work, but been there awhile. |
The road :) |
About 8 miles in a huge place called NATC Nevada Automotive Test Center..been there since 1957 |
They test a lot of military vehicles..pretty interesting read for a company in the middle of nowhere! |
Once we got home I made salad for the both of us for lunch. Ken took out some pork for dinner and he wants mashed potatoes to go with them. Got them finished, dishes, general household stuff this afternoon and now my blog:)
We were following a huge Fed Ex truck out of there! |

The museum was modeled after the original Post at the fort |
No one's heard anything from Seth since that 1 phone call to his mom but we didn't expect to until he sends the form letter with his address. That being said, every morning I take a few minutes to write him a letter :) It's just part of my morning routine now. All I'll have to do is write his address on the front and drop them in the mail. They're all stamped and ready to go :)
Happy 37th Anniversary Linda and Bobby (my baby sister) |
