Man, this big city ain't for me...It took me 1 1/2 hours to go one mile to the pharmacy and back. Granted it was at peak traffic time but really what's the deal? Talk about stressful. I'll be glad when we get back to Spokane. Jim continues to get better with each passing day. The Nurse said we should start to taper off the prednisone already. So, each day Jim will get 5 mg less for about a week then he will be done with it. He continues to have more energy. His appetite is getting better but still not where I'd like to see it. He needs to drink more. We're not going anywhere until he gets off the hydration. He's still getting a liter of fluid which lasts about four hours a day. Yesterday, I went into the showroom for a meeting. It was nice seeing my boss and coworkers. It's always a shift in mindset. But it's good to mix it up a bit. There is something satisfying about being independent. Being a Caregiver all the time can get tiresome. It's good to take a break and take care of myself. Even if it's work. I even made a trip to the mall and got myself a treat. Last night, the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance had a special dinner that I attended with a friend. Jim didn't want to go. I ended up closing down the place with five others. We had a fabulous time. This cancer stuff is like a sub-culture. There is so much to talk about because everyone's experience is different. Today, I was on camera for a documentary that the U of W is doing about the Information Industry. I was in the coffee house around the corner and they came in and asked me if they could film me on my computer. Well, Of course you can!, I said. So, now I'm famous. Yeh, right.
Mary, you are seen and appreciated
