A Great Sunday!

We had a great Sunday today. Market, brunch with Ingrid and MaryR. Then, Michele and Glenn visited in the early afternoon and brought for Mary a fantastic carrot cake from the Woodside Bakery. A little before sunset, we visited with neighbors Lillian, Jane and Gina + John--short visits all, but certainly uplifting and very positive. The pictures include one of the flower bouquet Mary received on graduation day!

Mary ate well today without the serious difficulty that happened yesterday afternoon. Yesterday, she took her normal three Zofran during the day. But, after our long outing, she had to supplement that with Compazine because of nausea in the late afternoon and evening. That didn't happen today, and in fact, she only took 2/3rds of her daily Zofran and no Compazine. We baked the halibut purchased at the Market along with the fresh corn on the cob and matched up with a romaine gorgonzola salad. As Mary noted, we are approaching a normal menu--although she ate very small portions.

As I've noted before, these four weeks are intended to be time for Mary to heal. And, based on these first few days, its is going to be a success. Her attitude is much better, she is talking in terms of future actions and clearly has a positive outlook. Its so much improved from her outlook during the six weeks of radiation and chemo.
