Dear Friends -
I have had such a wonderful week - a gift I'll always remember. My Dd is such a strong support for me - so admiring and encouraging. We took her to the airport just an hour ago - she will be home with her adorable boys early tomorrow morning. While she was here we Skyped the family each afternoon - the boy's bedtime - and so she got to talk to them, hear about their day, and wish them sweet dreams. I feel like I've gained so much strength this week - have only 2 more rads to go - so I think I have this problem licked. We went to the pool this morning - the water felt so good, and I can walk in the pool with the water supporting - should help with my stability.

Bea - I did read about your horrible day - and of course the sad news of the baby. Hopefully they will try again. I really think now with all the sonograms, etc. that it's harder to have a miscarriage - it's a "real" child and not just an unknown fetus. I had several between my two - and although it was disappointing - not a real big deal. But then, I think sometimes I'm a bit hard-hearted - .

I heard a cute joke that Lou's ice cream story reminded me of. Do you know Rita Rudner - the deadpan comic? She said when they eat out her husband orders dessert - she orders 2 forks. When the dessert comes, he says "this is my dessert" - she says - " these are my forks"! So clever, I thought.

Last night the three of us had a celebration dinner in New Hope, PA - at our favorite restaurant there. It was an early anniversary dinner - #46 is coming up. A really nice way to end our week - and we shared dessert!

Now - I'm ready to relax and get back to normal. I'll focus on getting stronger before August when the whole family comes for our usual 2-week visit. I'll be counting the days.

Enjoy the rest of the week-end. Avoid all those storms - you mid-west gals. And thanks again for all your support - I do so appreciate it.
Rosemary

Rosemary, I'm so glad that the week turned out good and even extra good--the strength and the love and also the tender kindnesses that your daughter bestowed on you can never be put in words.

Rosemary


I am always so happy to that you had a wonderful week with your family, it makes our hearts beat just a little sweeter, I think my 2 special angels up above were really looking down on you. Your dd sounds like such a great person and mother. I will be happy when you finish your rad, treatments and maybe be stronger after this.


Congrats on the up coming anniversary, 46 is great. I am not only older than you but my goodness I have been hitchted longer than you. Have a great sunday and rest my friend,(oh my god I sound like McCain LOL) YUKO.


hugs

Betty L. Keep and Angel on your Shoulder & a prayer in your heart.

I always love to read your posts....such a good perspective you have on things..good and bad!


I read your "hard-hearted " line..I don't think so...I would say practical, stoic, accepting


That Skype is a godsend , isn't it? BOb uses it to see his dgs in PA


So glad to hear your latest med report


take care

Rosemary -- so good to hear that you only need two more treatments and you are feeling stronger. You are an amazing woman!!! I am sure it was difficult to say good bye to your DD, but how wonderful that you have her August trip to look forward to. Enjoy your evening!
Gentle hugs,
Carol
