Phone Calls

We've been getting more phone calls asking about Janette's health. Thank you everyone for your care and concern and your good wishes and hopes. We also realized we weren't clear enough about why we started this blog.

Everyone knows now that Janette doesn't talk very well and most folks have not been expecting to talk with her. I don't mind talking. I rather talk than write. But, hearing me describe her current state and hearing me explain the what and where of the cancer was overhelming for Janette. She realized early on that if she wanted to stay positive, she couldn't listen to me have those phone calls. That's why we started this blog, so I could update everyone silently.

If you wish to call to say hi to Janette and briefly say you're thinking of her, that would be fine. Please understand she's beginning to feel unwell from her treatments and may not be able to take your call. Also please understand that talking on the phone is extra tiring for her. With her voice box not working right, she must use lots of extra energy to get her voice out.

Understanding all that, a quick call that's not about her health would be fine.

Janette also realizes she hasn't answered many emails. She does like reading what you write and appreciates the contact. Sitting at the computer is not comfortable right now and looking at the screen is hurting her eyes. She likes reading her email and looking at links people send and reading your funny stories. Please don't take her silence as disinterest. She is very grateful.

So, thank you again to everyone for your care, love, hope and email connection.

Cathy and Janette
