A pretty good couple of days

Mary isn't 100% but she is a long way towards it! Mornings up through early afternoon are her best time. Yesterday was great until late afternoon. Today was better in the morning but not as good as yesterday. Last night was not very good at all while tonight she seems to be doing quite well. I'd love to see her get back to the level we saw Sunday and Monday morning. Perhaps tomorrow.

I read someplace that the after effects of radiation to the abdomen will linger for 1-2 weeks. Mary said that after she woke up from her afternoon nap today, it felt like she had been blasted by radiation. So, 1-2 weeks appears to be realistic.

Monday morning was an outing to have a coffee shop latte with MaryR and then Ingrid arrived with fresh made, home made chicken noodle soup for lunch. Mary then hosted some workmen who were doing the maintenance on the house security system. After they left is when it hit and knocked her down and it stayed with her until bedtime.

Today was much quieter and Mary spent most of the day alone although I left for work at 10AM so it wasn't too long a day.

Today's snail mail included a very nice postcard from the granddaughters currently visiting in New Zealand. Its fun to get mail from the wrong side of the equator!

Mary reports that granddaughter Charlize has lost yet another tooth! And, the tooth fairy is still delivering five-spots. Lucky girl!

And, I should report that Mary is really enjoying her new iPhone 3GS. And, I am enjoying the hand-me-down iPhone it replaced. Man, that apps store is something special!

That's all for tonight!
