We're hanging in there Steve, you're a doll for asking. Mom had her first
chemotherapy treatment Monday and slept most of the next three days. She was
pretty cranky Monday after she came home, but I figured I could let that roll
of my back if I really wanted to be an adult about it. I'm a little cranky
myself when my own pain gets out of hand. I just tried to keep the house
quiet while she was asleep, and jump on the phone before it rang too many
times.
I'm tired myself, but I think some of that is psychological right now. I
went to a Seder last night. That was a very special event for me. Every time
these particular friends invite me over for something it seems like I have to
decline because they always plan long-lasting events. As you know the Seder
is no exception, but I really needed to participate. I couldn't go last
year, and I really missed being there. Today I paid for it but it was worth
it. I slept all afternoon.
We really have terrific neighbors who stop by every few days and will do
things we can't do. They have been consistent with this and I don't know
what I could possibly do to reciprocate. I visited with them a little while
tonight -- kind of a mini respite. They have two children who are adorable.
They make me feel young!
That's the whole report, I guess. All in all, we are okay. I wish my Mom
didn't have to go through all this, but she does, and she does, and she does.
What can I do?
Thanks for asking Steve,
Betty
