A shopping trip too long

Mary had a good time with MaryR yesterday. They did go to a coffee shop by name of Fleur de Cocoa in Los Gatos. Mary and I will go there from time to time because they make great sandwiches. They are much better known for the incredible selection of sweets and desserts made fresh on the premises. Last year, MaryR had a 4th cancer since her college days, and she has made it clear that "Life is short, eat dessert first" is a perfectly fine motto for someone living with the cloud of a really nasty cancer. I gather our two cancer survivors really enjoyed Fleur de Cocoa.

Mary wanted to join me on the run to Costco today, which surprised me. We have been collecting a list of Costco items ranging from San Pellegrino sparking water to dishwasher soap and many items in between. We didn't do our usual meander to check things out like we usually do--except the jewelry case, Mary really wanted to take a look. We moved smartly from section to section of interest and didn't waste any time. Mary took the walker, not because she needs it for stability because a shopping cart can do that. Rather, it has a built in chair so a couple of times she sat while I chased down a remote item.

On the way home she asked to stop again at a clothing store. She was looking for some items configured differently than normal to avoid irritating the incision area. We were successful, including really cheap prices because she sees this as temporary.

I fixed her lunch and then she took a nap. Unfortunately, it seems we over did it with the two shopping excursions. When she got up, she was not feeling well and her tummy was very upset. That lastest for a couple of hours until well after dinner and taking some additional nausea medication.

We just have to wait and see about tomorrow and our Farmers' Market and breakfast with MaryR and Ingrid.

The bottom line is that she is doing fantastic. I see it in her physical activities but more than that, I see it in her attitude, interest levels and topics of conversation. She is clearly on the mend that that is really good news.
