Thanks so much Brenda. I can't imagine doing all that you had to do, and not burning out. That must have been the most heartbreaking time for you. I am sorry for your losses. I appreciate hearing about the caloric vs heart....tonight I stopped by a Wendy's-fast food-and got my mom a vanilla frosty. She devoured it and felt satisfied. It also made her smile...that was worth more than anything. Sorry about the 'useless' comment--pretty low last night, and couldn't figure out a thing to do. All this running back and forth to the city for her appts is draining for her, ZI have no idea how it will be for her come time for the radiation txs. Today was a good day. Went to meet onc dentist--what a great person she is!! and stopped by RO's office for a script for pain. He saw us, asked mom to come into exam room and examined he and took a few pics. We didn't have an appt...he always wows me. He has to be the most compassionate doctor I have ever met. I feel very good about him treating my mom.
How are you feeling? You seem like a very strong person, I have to say, I really admire your spirit!
I have to go and do some laundry-went to go for a t-shirt earlier and realized I've done everyone elses laundry but my own!
Hope you have an enjoyable night.
Donna
