Today really felt like we've moved over the top and began to accelerate downhill toward home. We're well into my fourth week of six weeks of chemo and radiation treatment, and the 17th of 30 radiation visits. It seems like we can really see the end of what needs to be done here, and the joy of returning to Alaska. It's still two and a half weeks away, but somehow seems closer.
We have also developed a real practice of buying ice cream at the hospital cafeteria after my radiation. Somehow that seems like a good "treat" -- and Faith wants it as much as I do. Sitting quietly in the cafeteria dining room eating an ice cream bar seems wonderful, and it means that all of the day's treatments are over. Then we return to our apartment, where typically Faith goes back to work on her multitude of job requirements, while I take a long nap. Then we have dinner -- today was a great spaghetti dish, with the sauce featuring Montana mule deer burger and a bunch of vegetables. Another grand feature of this evening was calls from my brother and my cousin, and a call to Faith from a long-term friend she hadn't heard from for a while. All in all -- a pretty good day.
Thanks for your support, and the great comments many of you leave for us...
