Pain Better

Janette's leg pain is better now. I assume everything she is taking and having done is making a difference. She also decided to move more and fear less the potential of pain. It would zap her sort of randomly and that caused tension. Also, Aunt Eliska and I are letting her do more for herself and she feels up do doing more. And on and on it goes in a positive spirial of more activity and less pain.

I, Cathy, am also doing better. I was very tired all the time, mostly from stress and tension; I wasn't doing that much work. Now I seem to have caught up with myself and what is happening and have found some of my own rhythm. Of course both Janette and Aunt Eliska have their own strong rhythm: Let's do it now! So, I don't have much of a chance keeping mine.

Slowly, we're catching up on the needed house maintenance. William has helped and Aunt Eliska, when she comes over, seems to have more energy than I. I pace myself, and so does Janette. You'll have to ask Aunt Eliska what she does. Tomorrow, the pool! And maybe some mopping I've been putting off.

By the way, Janette and Eliska do enjoy reading your comments. So, keep them coming! And if anyone has a good picture of Janette, please send it.

And "Hey" to Uncle Carroll and Amanda. We're enjoying your blog, too!

Next appts: a free weekend! Radiation resumes Monday morning. Chemo each Wednesday.

  2. I'm glad to hear that the treatments are helping. Terry and I are so glad we were able to visit with you. We really enjoyed visiting you, Eliska and Cathy which was about 3 hours. So, I like everyone to know that was long enough for Janette (Blackie) because her coughing would get worst. I fussed Eliska for eating the rest of the pudding I made. Thinking of you everyday and praying for you and Carroll.

    Your little sister
