Back Home

Much to the relief of the dogs (and everyone else), Jessie is back home and snuggled in.  Hopkins was great and we were very happy with the doctors and nurses (especially nurse Madeleine who spent the night with Jessie.)

Happily, still not too much pain, probably with the help of lots of drugs. But she's still quite tired and not receiving visitors as of yet.

Thanks for everyone's support.

(And sorry if the "update" emails seem to be lagging a day behind the actual blog updates.)

Happy New Year

Well, as the year 2020 dawns, Jessie rings it in by heading for her first chemo infusion on New Years Eve. While not looking forward to the chemo itself, she's envisioning the final elimination of any little stray cancerous cells that may have escaped surgery last month. The chemo goes for 16 weeks (every other week), followed by a month off, and then radiation for a month. Just starting out. Wait a month and we'll show off our bounty We're heading to the store to buy anything and everything that someone on chemo might want to eat, and battening down the hatches with lots of good books, movies and mysteries.  And thanks to a hydroponic garden from the kids for Christmas, we will soon be well stocked with veggies. (See the photo.) We had a great Christmas with all of the kids and various others (including a newly-inaugurated son-in-law who is also a nurse). Nurses Madeleine and Greg will be in the neighborhood to help out, and William will be returning for an extend...

Chemo Half-Life

Image
Greetings. Sorry it's been so long, but things have been rather uneventful. Which is a good thing. Jessie is now half way done with Chemo and things still going well -- aside from occasional nausea and persistent exhaustion. Next week she starts on the Taxol, so that will be a whole new series of side-effects, but most people say Taxol isn't as bad as the stuff she's been having so far. We shall see. William arrived back from eastern Congo for an extended stay, so that's been nice. Otherwise, we all went to the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts yesterday for a Hopper Exhibit and she's going to exercise classes, yoga seeing lots of movies and happily having visitors. Otherwise, just putting one foot ahead of the last....

Bell Ringing Day!

A hard, but good week here, aside from all the madness in the world. Jessie completed her last chemo on Tuesday.😊 The Infusion Center at Georgetown has a tradition that you ring the victory bell after your last chemo. And despite the fact that they were not permitting visitors, they let me sneak in at the end of the day to record the event. Now she just has to get over the effects of this round, and then it's on to a month of radiation, after which all of this just becomes a bad memory. Otherwise, we're existing as everyone else is. Trying to get through each day and stay healthy.  Kids are fine. Nicole is somewhat the victim of the COVID recession, although she still has some on-line clients. William is living with his girlfriend out in the country in the north of England and doing some long-distance work. And Madeleine and Greg are nurses at Johns Hopkins, doing some COVID work (with appropriate personal protective equipment) and a constant source of anxi...
