At least 6 inches of snow later, and it is still snowing (lightly, but still snow). It has been a really long time since I have seen this much snow in Milan. Unfortunately, it is a very wet, cold day and playing in it will be limited to short intervals. That means lots and lots of tracking in the house, lots and lots of wet clothes, lots and lots of hot cocoa, and lots and lots of dryer time.
Tuesday the Mister had one of the best days that he has had in a very long time. (We are two months short of a full year of knowing about chemo firsthand.) As he said, "I can tell it is time for another treatment. I feel way too good!"
It is now Saturday and he is back to his "chemo self"-no energy, low appetite, and no interest in doing anything.
It is a shame that chemo takes you to the brink and you have to really struggle to come back on top. Hopefully the chemo is affecting the cancer cells as much as it does the good cells.
Today, is a monumental birthday for me. In honor of that we had this big snow, and all of my children and grandchildren are cooking for us today. Yesterday, Kate, Beth, James, Andy, Kendall, and I just hung out, cooked chicken noodle soup, made a birthday cake, played games, drew/colored pictures, and worked on a Thomas Kinkade jigsaw puzzle. Clayton was at the police academy; Josh worked; Trent hunted ducks/geese; and Amy spent the night at the hospital. She had a 12 hour day scheduled and this was her "call" weekend. It was too risky to drive home and possible have to drive back to the hospital for emergencies. So she stayed at West TN Healthcare suites ( aka outpatient rooms)
Life is good in West Tennessee.
Bundle up and stay warm.
God has provided a beautiful winter backdrop.
Love,
Cathy
