worrisome weather coming

Last night, Karen phoned and asked me if I had seen th weather forecast. The forecast had changed in the last 24 hours to something much more severe fro the weekend. Rather than dry with plunging temperatures after Sunday, the forecast is now for temperatures to start dropping on Saturday with an 84% possibility of snow. Then it becomes even colder on Sunday with the forecast of a Winter Storm - snow and ice in a Wintry Mix. Temperatures stay at just kissing the freezing point or well below it for the rest of the week.

I have three grouped appointments at Duke in Durham on Monday for my post-lung surgery CT images and return doctor visit. I really do not want to have to reschedule these appointments because I worry that I will have to wait too long for the new date to get all three together but it certainly looks like I need to reschedule them now. I will wait until Wednesday or Thursday and hope that, by some miracle, the forecast improves.

I also shared this in a couple of group texts - one with friends and one with family. My sister-in-law replied that my brother has been in the hospital since Saturday with a mystery neuropathy and an elevated white blood cell count. No one had told me this before. I know he had a lot of trouble controlling his blood pressure last year and that is the only health issue I am aware of him having recently... until now. She said they had to cancel their trip to Thailand that they just made plans for after cancelling a trip to Japan when she had heart bypass surgery.

Here's an odd thing. We have a tote bag that I keep used grocery bags in to repurpose for wet trash, cat litter, etc. I reached into that today to pull out a new bag for coffee grounds, etc. before the household trash pickup today and the bottom of the bag was full of thin white flakes of plastic, like onion skin, that clung to everything including my hands and house robe. Apparently, some "biodegradable" plastic had disintegrated in the bag and coated everything. I threw the entire bag away, swept and vacuumed out as much as I could, and put my robe in the washing machine.

MonsterMustDie believes that I should not reschedule my medical appointments on Monday in Durham, NC. He thinks that as long as we park on the street that we should be able to make it out of the neighborhood on Monday and from there it should be smooth sailing to Duke. I hope so.
