3rd Keytruda Infusion

I'm rocking the 3rd Keytruda infusion from Tuesday, and using the portacath is totes the way vs. endless IV's. So far no side effects such as 20% chance of stuff (there's a LOT of options to choose with Keytruda.)

Also got 2 more bags of blood transfused, but Dr Blanchette felt strongly it needed to happen on Wednesday, so the only available location was in the Good Sam hospital in Albany, which is about 20 minutes drive from Corvallis. I've had blood transfused there once back in August, and they remembered me, which I thought was cool and a bit of a surprise.

Lately when I'm in these treatments everyone seems amazed at my height. I tell them 6'3" unless I'm retaining water and then it's 6'4", you'd think us tall guys never get ill? But watch out if we stumble (I haven't fallen in some time thank goodness.)

On a great positive note, I asked Ki if he wanted to get married and after wet eyes on both sides, he said yes! 

We're planning for May, and hope either the 23rd or 30th works at a very nice venue that's in-between Corvallis and Eugene. We're not slumming it, but likely won't get crazy big with it either. Lots and lots of details to decide. We have family and friends to plan for, but still need to finish his, mine and our shared lists. Some good friends and family have offerrered to help too!

The only blip is Ki wasn't too aggreeable on putting Musuicians Friend/Guitar Center on the gift registry for some reason ;)

Oh and we found these lovely rings with titanium and exotic woods.

Lovely rosewood for Ki

Zebra wood for mine

We're still in the beginning planning phase, but it's super exciting!
