Tuesday at the doctor, and Wednesday

On Tuesday Jeremy had a day long series of appointments at the Swedish transplant center. I took the day off work and went with him. There was a class about kidney transplantation, meetings with a doctor, a surgeon, a financial person, a social worker, and they took lots and lots of blood. 

This wasn't even quite all of it.
Afterwards they did an abdominal scan and a chest x-ray. He has one or two more tests left to do before he is cleared for transplant, but they told us to go ahead and start looking for live donors now as they don't foresee any problems with his tests.

We stopped at Bartell's on the way there. Jeremy got an energy drink, and I got a package of two hard boiled eggs, which cost a total of $2.49. I also ate a yogurt before we left.

By the time he was done with his labs it was almost two and I was starving. We went to the McDonald's across the street. I had brought a coupon for buy one get one free premium salad or wrap. Jeremy got a grilled chicken wrap, and I got a southwest crispy chicken salad. He also got a snack wrap, and I got a small fries which we shared, and we got two small drinks. We spent a total of $11.14 there. Not bad as we are both pretty big eaters and were both very hungry.

Later that evening we went to QFC and bought:

3 lb bag of small honeycrisp apples $5.99
Brownie ice cream $2.99
1/2 gallon 2% milk $1.99
Sugar free sparkling water $1.00
Gummy bears $.99
Broccoli $1.55

Total $14.51

I made a chicken and vegetable stir fry with brown rice for dinner, and had brownie ice cream with sugar free chocolate syrup and walnuts for dessert.

Breakfast: caramel flavored Mediterranean yogurt, two hard boiled eggs
Lunch: McDonald's Southwest crispy chicken salad, fries
Dinner: stir fried chicken, broccoli and carrots with brown rice and teriyaki sauce
Snacks/desserts: gummy bears, brownie ice cream with chocolate sauce and walnuts
Beverages: water, Sprite, sugar free sparkling water

Wednesday we didn't buy any food. I was off work and had a couple of appointments but didn't do much. The weather was nasty.

Breakfast: protein bar
Lunch: Campbell's cheeseburger soup, apple with caramel cream cheese
Dinner: macaroni and cheese with carrots and broccoli
Snacks/desserts: brownie ice cream with chocolate sauce and walnuts
Beverages: water
