Friday's Blood Work - January 28, 2011

We were lucky with the amount of snow that fell in our area of NJ Wednesday night into Thursday. I think it was one of the lowest in the state. It was around 6"-8" here, but in many areas there were reports of 12", 18" and up to almost 2 ft. They're talking about 2 storms for next week, the first on Tuesday.

We got back a short time ago from the local oncologist's office after today's blood work. Most of the numbers seem pretty good, though he's had another drop in platelets. He faxed the results to NYU and is just waiting for a call to see what Dr. R has to say.

Unless we need to drive up to the city for some unanticipated treatment, Pete has an appointment this afternoon with Dr. W (local oncologist), just to go over all that's been going on and to keep him up-to-the-minute with how Pete's doing.

Yesterday Pete had an appointment at the Social Security office to go over his application for disability. His short term disability will be expiring soon as will his benefits so he'll need to go into work to speak with the HR rep and get information on COBRA. From what I understand SS medical benefits don't kick in until 2 years after SS disability begins.
