| Micah and Nesto |
The fatigue that we were cautioned to expect has settled in for a spell. Tashie is very very tired, and having lie-downs in the morning and afternoon, and sometimes in between. Philip and Katherine visited this morning, and of course that was uplifting for her. It was especially exciting for her to hear that they are contemplating a move north to Portland. And again...I forgot to whip out my iPhone for some pix - shouldn't I have learned by now? Shortly after they left, Michael dropped by for a very short visit with Nesto, who was greeted with cat-like enthusiasm by our Micah. I did get some photos of Terry holding Nesto, but none of Our Ladyship with her gentlemen callers. Tashie asked me to move her appointment back a little so that she might have a rest for half an hour before leaving for St. Vincent's. I was afraid that she wouldn't want to go at all once she got prone, but she was up and ready to go as soon as 30 minutes had passed - that seemed to be all she really needed. The staff in the radiation department are really wonderful with Tashie. They try everything to make her as comfortable as possible without disturbing their "mapping," bringing her warm blankets and moving her with kindness and gentleness. While we wait to go in, we work on crossword puzzles. And when Terry takes her, they stop at the Rose Garden afterwards
