I left work early afternoon today. I just could not keep up. Came home and slept for like 4 hours or something, I don’t know. Something is going on in my left foot. I’m not sure if it’s a sign of “Taxol toes”, but I’m going to check with the oncologist before the next/last invasion. …
Eye on the ball and living in the moment.
Cheesebread really comes out better when you let it rise two times. I was making the bread yesterday for the staff at the cancer center and A asked if I would make one to go with the soup she was going to make for dinner. If I let the family bread rise twice it would…
Just Thinking
When I think about the journey so far, the thing that is dominant in my mind is love.  I am not cancer. I AM loved. I feel it with my family. I see it when I read back in this blog at the story we are telling.  The entries from B, A, and E are part of a love story. …
Manifesting energy and making lemonaid
It’s like the problems with the port-a-cath are a thing of the past.  By living so in the moment, I have had the good fortune to celebrate with the nurse when there is good blood return. I either have to get a life, or I’m doing something good for me. Celebrating anything is good for…
Appearances
My hair is sort of coming in and falling out and light on the top and dark on the sides and really fuzzy and funky. I get tired of wearing stuff on my head, but really need it there for warmth. My thermostat is just in malfunction mode at this point, and most of the…
Enjoying “A”
As I was writing the entry below about the recent infusion, A and I looked like dualing laptops at the dining table. We laughed as she played this game over and over and over singing and singing random songs at the top of her lungs. Her eyes were aglaze.  “I can’t get out of this!” You…
He wears pink high tops
We have been so fortunate to have been assigned a wonderful nurse who is usually the one who works with me at each infusion. She told a story today of being at the gym and seeing a young man (late teens early 20’s) who was very handsome and buff wearing pink high tops. A few…
Transformations
During today’s infusion there was someone who was a few chairs away, behind me. This person was apparently really struggling. I was only peripherially aware of this as I had my ipod on and was tuned into my niece V’s gift of songs which are really fun to sing to. We have mentioned several times…
Taking time
I left work on Friday noonish with the full intention of going home and working. I have a funding application that is due this coming week, and the draft needs some quiet time…rather I need quiet time to complete it. I made it home ok, but then received a call from a friend that had…
The time before spring
Home from the infusion. You know the feeling when seed catalogs start appearing in the mailbox? Well here in Maine it is a sacred time…at least for me. Today I got that feeling when I drew this panel. Something is moving for me. I and we are doing what it takes to enjoy and endure…
