Hi folks:
We continue to feel so privileged by the persistent and loving support of friends and family, you know who you are - thank you. Geoff is slowly getting his injured back in shape, on top of organizing the house and dog and spending time with me, not in that order. Ada's clavicle is healing, she is also helping around the house, and has decided to take a break from working in August to stay close. She has some great ideas, like renting a cottage nearby for a few days. Franck is pitching in, being the only truly healthy family member, as well as working part time modeling and working part time in a local retail clothing store. We have had great visits with out-of-town guests, so grateful to see you.
My health is deteriorating, but nothing drastic so far other than reduced mobility (left leg lymphadema and nerve pressure). My medical team has yet again swung impressively into action to help with pain management and other practical supports, and I am trying another long-shot treatment (letrozole) to help slow tumour growth. I am tired - "anytime is nap time": my favorite fridge sticker. Sometimes I am totally overwhelmed, by a glance or a song or the view of our garden, by all the beauty in my life. With help, I am having a good summer, full of laughter and sharing and those pure moments we all need and recognize when they happen.
