Dad made an observation tonight that sums up my day, "It used to be that Remicade Day was the big "news" [blog] story of the quarter. Now, it's almost a non-event." I still report on Remicade Day, though, because I don't want to forget what the Lord has done for me. I like to brag on the Lord, especially when so much prayer and effort went into making my Remicade treatments possible. And today's Remicade Day was truly a successful event! Everything happened as planned with no negative surprises. I was done by 1:00pm, so the rest of the afternoon was spent running errands with Mom and Qavah.
When I was in the waiting room before my Remicade treatment began, the receptionist called, "Kathryn". I replied aloud, "That's me" and stood up. So did the woman next to me. We looked at each other and she said, "I'm a Katherine, too". I smiled back and told her, "Well, nice name!" We ended up sitting next to each other in the Infusion Center, which was fun.
This "Kathryn" event reminded me of a an email I received the other day from my friends Candice and Crystal. The email was a link to find out how many other people in the United States shared my name. Below is what I discovered. Interesting side note, there was a different answer for "Kathryn" than for "Katherine," so spelling matters. If you visit the site, please let me know "how many of you" there exists!
