We have returned from our short trip to McCloud, Ca. This will probably be the last for awhile, at least until Walt gains some more strength. He's very tired and in the bed sleeping. We enjoyed our family reunion and Walt was able to spend some much needed time sitting in the sun soaking up some vitamin D. We loved being able to see my dad who will be 87 in a couple of months. He could run circles around both Walt and myself. My stepmother, Lois did a wonderful job of organizing the event and we really had a good time talking with everyone about our lives, past and present. The biggest challenge was the food. The cancer diet is very limiting and it will get better as time goes by and we get use to it. Today we met about 20 from the group at a restaurant in Shasta City and we ate a late breakfast. Walt was really happy to have a wonderful scrambled egg thing with a little fruit. Last nights dinner was hard because we had to order salad (again!) and have oil and vinegar for dressing. Creamy ranch dressing people don't love oil & vinegar.
I was reminded by a dear friend who posted to the last entry what my spiritual mother, Mary, use to say. "Happiness shared is doubled & pain shared is cut in half." This is why I will share. Thank you all for listening and especially for the prayers. The love has made Walt feel so good.
We see the doctor in the morning so hopefully we will have some more answers. I will post more when we know more.
Can't wait to hear what the Dr says in the morning. We are beat too...what a bunch of vegetables we are! Nice weekend though. Love you guys.
