I am happy to report that Jenny is feeling much better. She is looking good and has more energy. With the exception of the attack of the socks this weekend up in the bedroom, all else seems to be under control! The socks were planning this attach over the last several years. Saturday morning they decide now was the time to strike! They sprang in full force from draws, cabinets and all sorts of places and confronted my wife! But even in her weaken state, Jenny over came the odds. I am pleases to say that all socks have been dealt with! Either they were matched with a partner or discarded never to bother us again. But I suspect that even now they are gathering forces and planning their next attack in ten years or so from now.
It was great to have so many friends stop in over the weekend. We enjoy every visitor we get. Some of Jen’s school colleagues stopped in on Friday. Various neighbors dropped in throughout the weekend. My Mom, Dad and Aunt Adrian drove down from NY to see how we were doing. With them came all sorts of odd and ends like air purifiers and food… Some home made, some store bought. (Do not worry, my Mom wants no part of the local cooking contest)
It was nice to be home and enjoy the great weather. Although Jenny’s stomach is still a little touchy at night, she seems to be sleeping well. We have done a little getting out and about. Jenny has been organizing to make things easier for both of us. Jen’s cough is pretty much gone! I take this as a sign that her treatments are working. I secretly hope that this cancer goes away as quickly as it came. Jen goes into MSK on Tuesday to start the final (3rd) round of this first set of treatment. We are now a little more prepared knowing what to expect. This does not however eliminate the dread we both feel in having to start the next round of treatment. For Jen’s part, how lousy she will feel. For my part, how helpless….. But we both must keep focused on the end game!
The heat on the cooking contest has been turned up with the submission of chili stew from our neighbor Jen S and meatballs from Angela. Both were terrific. Not sure how all their husbands stay so fit! Last night Jodi and Tom dropped off a pork roast with rosemary and all the fixings’! Man, it was good. All the food that has been brought by has been quite good!
Jenny and I thank you all for keeping us in your prayers. Please be sure to enjoy each other when times are bad, as well as when times are good!
