Tuesday May 10th - a turning point we hope


This morning was a rather early one for everyone including Deb. The kids and I had obligations before 08:00 so were up and about well before. Deb had a great night and we are lauding her injection of Neuprogen for that. She had a good breakfast, not her usual applesauce and perhaps an "Ensure", but a real breakfast.
When I phoned her closer to noon, I woke her up and that is unusual. We are sure hoping that one of the side affects of these injections is deep, restful sleep and not the aching pain and flu-like symptoms suggested in the literature.
The regular trip to Cancer Care was uneventful and even the traffic was reasonable, so all in all a rather non event today. We are sure looking forward to Thursday as this will be her last external booster, the end of that sort of radiation. All that remains are the three internal HDR treatments and that's it! Looks like May 27th is the magic day.
The evening meal as ordered apparently hit the spot, and this makes it a good day too. Often times food is the least of what is on Deb's mind, so we think perhaps a corner has been turned. Tomorrow will tell us more with hopes that she has a good night's sleep after spending all morning totally asleep.
As it is midweek already tomorrow, work is ramping up with spring bursting at the park's seams. Tons of work to do, tons of plants to install and a major opening on the 16th, so no pressure. The weather is holding so our topiary figures were moved on site today, amazing. I will attempt to get some photos for you to enjoy on the blog.

Ken is managing ok too!
Take good care and remember to hug someone you love today. Make lots of plans and learn to live with change, that is really all that is constant.
Happy Face from WA
