First days home

From Ian: Morning from dreary Midland. We arrived home yesterday at about noon. It was strange to be home after all the time away. The garden looks sad after some of the frosts Midland has had. We look forward to spring!!! Di really perked up being at home and last night she needed to get knitting again (hats for cancer patients and Alaskan fisherman). Last time she had tried she just could not get it. Anyhow last night was fine and she managed a few rows. She went to bed early and had a good nights sleep. Managed the stairs okay, but I have told her she can only go on them when I am at her side or behind her. I am hoping she will get back into quilting, though until she is steady I will do the cutting of the fabric, but she can plan it. Good for her brain power!!! This morning after having breakfast she did some more knitting. I am very excited about that as it is definitely an improvement over before.
Tomorrow we leave home at 7am for her to be fitted and measured for radiation. She will have to wear a mask and be screwed down to a table, which sounds terrible, but it so that she doesn't move whilst receiving the radiation. We will then have our schedule for the next 6 weeks!!! I have told her to enjoy today.
My dear son in law found an article on brain tumours.[http://brain.mgh.harvard.edu/PatientGuide.htm] I found it quite interesting and exactly what Di has been thru and what she will go thru. It is attached as some of you may find it interesting. One never knows when it will strike. Diana had not been in a hospital for 35 years or major ill and she was zapped by the worst brain cancer around!! Happy studying.
