Next development.

 Breathing is better today, not sure if that's due to dropping off two of my meds or picking up on prednisone but I'm only having to clear my throat today and other than coughing early morning, I'm doing okay. 

Cardiology and my oncologist both messaged to set up appointments so those are all set for next month. Primary doctor messaged and said my magnesium was fine, which was the other one they needed to monitor and reiterated dropping my pravastatin as well as the kisqali.  I took the statin out of my pill case yesterday so I didn't forget.

A few side effects of the prednisone is increased appetite, which is good, water weight gain, not so good but fixable down the road, and insomnia. Which is why she had me take it in the morning with food so my sleep isn't disturbed anymore than it is now. If the kisqali is the root of all my problems, coughing and chest tightness as well as all the other things, I will be relieved. More than likely the prednisone is helping with my cough due to it being a steroid. It's a one shot prescription which is okay and will see what happens when I don't take it anymore. 

Two other things that are not health related, I was able to fix a double batch of beef and noodles, had a medium size bowl because I was hungry. So that's a bonus and then this little development:

 That is a tiny rose seedling! I don't remember which rose I took it from, probably the random pink one near the garden. But it is a first for me growing an actual rose from a seed! I am going to keep an eye on it for sure and make sure it doesn't go dry and survives. Many months to go before it will be big enough to replant. When I saw it starting to sprout I thought, 'that is too sturdy to be vegetable seed but I could be wrong'. Well I was wrong, yay!!! The thing about growing a rose from seed is it is open pollinated, therefore propagation laws do not apply for patented plants. I sincerely doubt this variety is a recent one but doesn't matter. If it grows true to parent that will be cool but it's going to be a few years (if it survives) before it will be ready to bloom.

Good side effect of new phone number, spam calls are reduced to zero so far. Good luck getting through on that other number suckers.

Despite the caution that prednisone causes insomnia, I might go try and take a nap.
