Saturday Morning

Mary continues to gain strength and feel better. Last night she ordered Chinese takeout from Yong Lo Garden in Saratoga--we had dinner there last Saturday. We ate the entire Orange Beef dish and did a lot of damage to the Broccoli Chicken too. YLG is a very nice restaurant and I wrote a couple reviews about the place after our dinner. You can check them out here and here.

We really don't know how this chemo stuff is going to affect Mary day to day but it appears that after the injection on Monday, she goes downhill for two days pretty quickly. Then, she starts to gain back some of her strength and general good healthy feeling each day after Wednesday. She isn't anywhere near her level of overall health she was experiencing the weeks before chemo started but is isn't down so low that she is simply bedridden waiting for the next Monday. This morning as I read this she is quite perky and is engaged reading the paper.

In fact, she called her sister as I was preparing breakfast because of an email. Reenie reported that today was the 20th anniversary of the Loma Prieta earthquake. Mary, in a show of spirit, called her sister and asked when was the last time they had 80 degree weather in Duluth in October. Seems like 80 degrees in Duluth during October and a 7.0 earthquake in Los Gatos occur more than 20 years apart. It did show Mary is feeling feisty this AM. And yes, it was 80 degrees in LG this week.

We have drivers set up for this Monday (Ingrid and Jean) and next Monday (Terry in both directions). Thank you, thank you!

We'll see how strong our girl is over the weekend. Right now, its looking pretty good.
