Good evening all.
Hope you're having a good weekend.
This update comes courtesy of the Wonder-Aunts: Joyce and Nancy.
Alice has started chemo again! Had her treatment on Friday morning--so two weeks later than planned (she went into the hospital 2 weeks ago, from chemo. They didn't do the treatment but admitted her due to seeming behavioural/personality changes). She only has chemo once every three weeks, so has not missed as much as it might seem. Also had a unit of blood on Friday.
Virginia and Blake (nephew) met her at radiation on Friday afternoon--she was a little nauseated from the ambulance ride but seemed to settle quickly. Was in and out in good time and back to Woodstock hospital.
Joyce and Clarence were in to visit today and found her in great shape. She has her customary grip of steel back--pulled herself to a sitting position with her 'weak' hand (Joyce: is this her small (right) hand or her newly weak left hand?) and walked holding onto Joyce's arm and then without holding on at all. Had put on her shoes herself, too. No noticeable favouring of her left side. Speech was smooth and with few pauses, memory was clear and she was just brighter in general.
So, good news is good. It may just be short-term, but we'll take it.
love, Robin, whose cold is ebbing v-e-r-y s-l-o-w-l-y
PS Jo and I have hot water again! Mmmmmbubbles......
