Oh my it has been a while since I updated. We got thru Mothers day. Mom got in lots of calls from the normal crew and a few extras called in, thank you Mary Ellen for the Washington call and Rolph (as mom changed his diapers!). She spent the day as usual in her big chair. Mitch and I got to take in a movie and dinner while Candi came up to sit with mom for the afternoon. Mom is still doing well with blood tests every three weeks to make sure the cancer is kept at bay - the tests have been good so far. She has put back on about 5 lbs which may be the reason some of the back pain is coming back and keeping her in some pain and discomfort. She has built up a tolerance to her pain killer so we have been using morphine to combat... a very low dose but it seems to do the trick. She has not wanted to get out of the house but she did take a trip down to Candi's to she her finished landscape/rails and ramp/ housepainting which was completed by a volunteer organization "Rebuilding together". I'm hoping mom feels up to a short trip to garys on memorial weekend - after all what's the difference sitting in the car for three hours vs. sitting infront to the t.v. in the big chair for three hours. I just got back from the Pacifica Garden tours and am inspired. This picture is of the Memorial Garden off Hwy 1 to commemorate 9/11. I hope to get our backyard in shape over the summer while Mitch is away working at Camp Mather all summer. That will keep me busy and not worrying about him everyday.
