Activities

 I'm so far behind, I should just start with more recent stuff. Mat and I have been looking for an activity every week, to keep us (me) busy and engaged in the day to day. This month we went to Audra McDonald, the Messiah sing-In, out to lunch with a handful of friends, had a chat with Dr. Buys about what I want treatment I want to look like going forward. At our last group, she came up and asked me what color my urine was (we're big kids, we can handle that word, right?). I'll tell you, anywhere from clear to dark yellow-brown to orange. All I know is that orange (and other strange colors mean my liver is failing.) So, that also means that if you want to "see" me, better come quick! There won't be viewing, I don't want people to see at my shriveled, most sickly state.

We are in Phoenix for a handful of days. The funny thing is that my cancer friend, Ines, husband and daughter are also here for a handful of days! I haven't reached out, I'll let her vacation in peace. We are on a similar cancer path--except she's been doing it longer than me, both trying to make the most of a terrible situation.

Tomorrow we are going to see my aunt Carol Barson Gardner, oldest sister of the Barson clan, and two of her daughters. These are salt of the earth people, some of the best I know. My Mom was just younger than her. That will be so great to see them! It's been at least a few years. More tomorrow!
