A Really Quiet Sunday

We did make it to Farmers' Market and bought our fresh salmon, tuna and corn. The Los Gatos Farmers' Market has a fish vendor who comes up from Santa Cruz on Sundays. Its really great fish!

Mary was not sharp during the shopping, and in fact, took a walker with her because she felt unstable. I thought it was radiation effects. Turns out the docs gave her four different kinds of nausea meds and told her she should optimize them taking no more than any two at a time. In preparation for Monday's radiation treatment and to test the effect of one of the meds, she took a proper dose of a generic for Phenergan at breakfast. We now know what the side effect is. She was standing on her feet sleepy (and loopy) and when we got home, crawled into bed and didn't wake up until almost 4PM. This is now her nausea-sleeping pill medication.

Once the effects of that wore off, she was fine. We cooked up a nice salmon dinner with fresh corn on the cob and broccoli. We went for a nice walk about sunset, met some neighbors and had nice chats before we finished the walk and headed home.

Our taxi team this week is Bill (x2), Peggy, Terry and MaryR. Monday is a long day because it starts with a blood test about 45 min before the radiation treatment and ends after seeing the radiologist which can take some time--waiting for him, of course. Tues-Wed--Thurs should be straightforward if the machine (LA-9) is available. (Trivia bit--LA probably stands for Linear Accelerator, and I assume this is their 9th version of same.) For a 12:30 appointment, Mary is out of there by 1:00 to 1:05--if it runs on time. Of course, there is no way to know if they are on time until you show up. On Friday, its another long day as Mary has an appointment with the surgeon in addition to her radiation treatment.

Mary's daughter, son-in-law and two granddaughters head off for New Zealand tonight! Scott has an assignment to work on some new super-duper movie and he will be staying until November. Lara and the girls will be back before school starts. The only bad news is that these California residents are traveling during the winter months down under...get your mind around that, eh?

All in all, it was a very nice weekend although I wish Mary hadn't reacted to the nausea medication the way she did. Sunday was a lovely warm day and she missed most of it.
