No news

Greetings

It seems ages since I last posted. We have had a good week adjusting to not going for radiation etc. Have had some interesting times in the kitchen!!! Di has not given up the reigns easily. Last night we had a large discussion about what temp the oven should be. She told me 250. But meaning 375. Hence the food was not cooked so shouted at me and told me I should keep asking her as she does not remember. I had been doing that. In the end tears and how difficult it is to remember things. I hugged her and said not to worry, but inside was screaming. Oh well part of the whole journey we are on.

Today has been long day. Arrived at the hospital at 10am and at 4:45 we are still here. The neurosurgeon was happy with things and the way the wounds have healed. Blood work was done. Then the cancer doc was running late!!! He did various tests on Di and did not say too much. He told her she needed to walk more so Midland Mall here we come!!! Then we had more inhalation against the pneumonia and 2 flu shots. So I guess all in all not bad. Just a long day. We are spending the night here. If she feels up to it there is a nice restaurant in Ann Arbor I would like to take her to. It was snowing earlier so will see once we are out of the concrete jungle I will go food shopping tomorrow at Whole foods and then home.

Well think that is all for today. Bless u all. Ian

  2. Guess undercooked food is better than burnt... however its the little foxes that have the potential to spoil the vine - the challenge is not to let them do that.
    Glad the tests and doc's appointments were ok..
    we just back from watching Invictus - worth seeing if you're both up to it, although it may make you feel homesick. It certainly stirs up patriotism and nationalism (is there a difference??)
    Love you and trusting for a good rest of the week for you Di. Think of you often...

  3. Wonderful folk

    Some moments must be so frustrating for both of you. I praise and thank God that He is with you, giving you both the strength, courage, and unconditional love that you both need during these trying times. CONGRATS to you both for completing radiation.
    I hope you managed to get home before the huge snow dumping.
    I am excited for you that your family will be together over Christmas.
    LOTS of love and hugs
    Heather
