State of the me
We'll, it was a good news, bad news kind of day on Wednesday. I had my appointment to get a CT scan done to do the mapping for my upcoming radiation treatments.The good news was that they think they might be able to shield my pacemaker enough that they won't have to move it to the other side of my chest. Which would be wonderful. I so don't want more surgery right now.
They want me to have 23 sessions in all, which will start next Tuesday. They'll keep the doses on the low side to try to not aggravate my Lupus too much.
After I complete those I'll be going back on my IV drugs for thirteen doses. They'll be infused on an every three week schedule and will be a mix of chemo and the Her2 inhibitor drug. Hopefully with less side effects.
The bad news was that someone stole my catalytic converter right off my 2004 Honda CR-V, which was parked in front of our house, early Wednesday morning prior to my scan.
I noticed my car sounded louder than usual as I drove to the hospital. To be 17 years old it's normally still pretty quiet. I checked our Nest door bell camera's video feed as I waited for my scan because I had a horrible susoicion I knew what had happened. Sure enough, I watched video of a guy stealing my catalytic converter right off my car!
That meant I spent most of the day after I got back from the hospital making a police report and talking to Geico. I still have no idea what, if any, they'll cover of my cost to replace it. I left a message for our assigned claims adjuster this afternoon but she hasn't called me back yet. Our mechanic told me it'll cost about $900 to fix it. I hope Geico will at least cover some of it. It sure was a rotten time for it to happen, right when I'm supposed to start daily radiation treatments I need to be able to drive myself to. Right now it looks like I’ll need to postpone starting my treatments for a week, I can’t get to them without a car to get there.
Here's the link to the Nest video, I captured it because the policeman who took my report said it might be helpful at some point. Watch mister creepy pants as he just stares at our house before he gets started. Seven minutes, that's all it took from beginning to end. He was here from 2:26 until 2:33am, when he got spooked and left. I so don't need this in my life right now.
