Last One (Promise)

Greetings Loyal Readers,

You can exhale now (you have been holding you breath this whole time, haven't you?) Mom is doing well in recovery. She has to lie flat for two hours and YFC is proud to report that she's got just one more hour to go...yay Mom!

Mom's posse has dwindled some, only her two children 1 and 1.5 remain. It's a little quieter this way and that's not an entirely bad thing (don't even ask about the 17-minute discussion of lemon drops over lunch). Nurse Pam claimed that our family reminded her of her own, the poor girl. But overall, Nurse Pam has been a doll. She helped comfort Mom by bringing her blankets, snacks, etc. and was just as caring as can be. In fact, they even conducted a trade, whereby Nurse Pam (note: YFC is not going to stoop so low as to anagram her name into Purse Man...it's beneath him) gave Mom her e-mail address and Mom swapped her the address to The Chemo Chronicle. We know who made out the better of that trade don't we Loyal Readers?

(just to be clear, Nurse Pam made out better...but you knew that already, didn't you?)

Dr. Stork also visited us. They will do another CT scan in a month. It's possible that Mom will have to repeat this procedure (this seems to be the norm), but if they do so, they might go in from the other side of the liver. But overall the Stork said that things went well, so mad props to him.

Well, Your Faithful Correspondent is pretty beat, accordingly this is the last update of the day and what better way to end things then on a happy note knowing that Mom will be home soon.

My very best to you and you and you...

Faithfully,
Corey

Hip, Hip, Hurray. Last one. Oh not that this is your last blog, I mean that the Chemo Queen is done for this long day. Hopefully she is resting comfortably.
I speak for most of your loyal readers that we look forward to Tuesday just because we get to read the prose of YFC.
I especially like hearing that 1 1/2 made it on time. She is so important to the family.
Until we meet again.

Mom is doing well this morning (she said she's about a 97 on a scale of 1 - 100) and resting comfortably. She is supposed to take it easy today, so I think the most strenuous activity that she has planned is grocery shopping at Hungarian.

Hope your familia is doing well. My best to everyone (well, everyone except you).

Be well Cousinie,
Corey
