Tuesday-Weds

Deb with her Fayetteville, Ga nurse as she gets her IV's of chemo.The nurse recently recovered from esophageal cancer himself and sat in these same chairs with his peers caring for him.

Yesterday afternoon Deb had three tubes of blood drawn for tests to decide if she was whole enough for the overdue strong chemo she needed. We waited in growing anticipation and were delighted when Dr York came in and said her counts were good enough for the strong chemo.

Now, isn't that strange when you really want something like 'strong chemo?'

Amazing how life has changed and priorities are so different! How are yours changing as you face life's travails?

This morning Deb awakened and came into the sunroom. As she headed into the kitchen for a bite, she collapsed onto the floor. I got her some water and she was able to get up and make it back to bed with my assistance. (The water improves her blood pressure.) At lunch when I went to check on her, she was raring to get out of the house for a ride. What a difference a few more hours of rest makes!

Later in the afternoon our friend Mary came by. Mary lives in Jacksonville, Fl and has been friends since Deb's college days. She is a faithful poster on this blog.

Katka sent us a snapshot of grand daughter Evelyn playing the AFLAC game. Do you know how to play it? All it takes is a duck!
