I had to contribute this one. My sister is visiting for the holidays. She lives in a foreign country, and we don't see her very much. I retired right after my husband was diagnosed in 11/07. Good thing, too, as my job as caregiver has been full time ever since. I am also a fine art painter and have put aside my brushes temporarily.

The other day, she asked me since I am not painting, what do I do all day? I laughed and said, "Good question. Between Dr. appts., meds, and dressing changes, I guess not much."

I should have said that I sit around in my fluffy slippers, eating bonbons, and watching soaps. Unless one has been there, most people don't really know what this cancer trip is all about. Oh, well, water off the duck's back.
