I am happy to report that every day I am starting to feel a little bit better now. I can talk more, and even occasionally have been answering the phone, as some of you may know. I can swallow water and tea (yahoo!), and although I know the road back to eating normally will be slow, I know I will get there.
A few comments about being home during the day: While I have finally learned how to use the TV remote and the DVD player, I have also learned that there is nothing on TV during the day worth watching. I occasionally cruised the Chinese channels, which were fascinating. You can kind of tell what is going on even without the words, and the commercials are great! (I especially like the one about ginseng.) Network TV is mostly just commercials, half of which are for incredibly fattening food. The other half are for weight loss. What a racket! I do admit to watching "The View" a few times, and also I still love Jeopardy!
So, I have been reading, doing a lot of e-mailing, drawing, and working on a family tree project, which is about enough for me. I still rest and sleep a lot, and try to get outside at least once a day, even if it is just down to the mailbox or out to the garden. My wonderful neice and her family were in town and we had some nice, although short visits. Hope that the sun comes back to Berkeley soon!

Rooting for you Judy. Catching up on Sex and the City was a good use of your chemo time. Are you familiar with Veronica Mars - another good series to do during recovery.

I am so happy to read the wonderful news that you are starting to feel a little better. Slow and steady, step by step--you will get there!
ReplyDeleteWe are thinking of you and send you lots of hugs and kisses and support.
Love, cousin Deb
I can feel the energy and strength coming through every word you write. You are almost there. Every day - bit by bit - putting it together (to quote Sondheim). You'll be happy to know they start shooting the next SEX IN THE CITY movie this summer - starting in NY with Mr. Big, then the ladies are off to Europe! Maybe we'll go to the premiere!!! Love you so much. Nina
ReplyDeleteI bet you can't wait to eat your first marmite sandwich. Good news though, you can mix a spoonful of marmite in your hot water and drink it down. Don't thank me for this wonderful advice. Its the least I could do. Perhaps I should tell you where marmite would do most good when smeared on but.......
