July 27th- after three weeks of chemoradiation.-Well, I'm still here-halfway through the first 6 week round. My therapist, tries to encouragingly point out that I'm half way through ("the glass is half full") I immediately counter with "yeah-but the 6 week chemoradiation is the easy, "piece of cake" part of this masochistic marathon" says I. "It's bad enough now(diarrhea, sore throat, lip sores, etc.) " What about later?" "You'll get through, I know you will," he says. ""No fun" says I!
So what WAS fun this week , was watching my granddaughter's 8th birthday party yesterday. We started at the Gymnastics club where she takes weekly lessons. She and five friends wildly trying out all the equipment and climbing through the giant whale that they blew up for the party. Toby and some other Moms trying their skill on balance beams and attempting headstands that they probably hadn't done in 20 years.. After an exhausting hour and a half of cavorting , we brought the kids chez-nous for ice cream cake, punch and more fun and games. Toby and Jade made sure that the kids had the requisite number of party favors and kiddie "tchakas" that kids nowadays require for maximum party satisfaction. "A good time was had by all." Grandpa rested on Sun.
