Ingrid's parents, Marie and Jacob, arrived last night at SFO for a visit with Ingrid and Maurice, who will fly out for Thanksgiving. Ingrid took them to the Los Gatos Farmers' Market so her Mom could load up on the fruits and veggies needed for their multiweek visit. We then joined them at the Purple Onion for a nice visit.
Afterwards, they stopped by the house as Ingrid needed to borrow a couple of items, and we ended up running a garden tour. Munich is in the early stages of winter and the simple fact we still have flowers (roses, morning glories and others) in full bloom kinda blew Maria away. Jacob took a chili pod and plans on growing his own plants from the seeds when he gets home.
As for Mary, we seem to have dialed in the pain med vs food grazing formula pretty well. Splitting the pills and making sure she is eating smaller amounts frequently really seem to help. The smaller pain dose does not totally eliminate the back pain like it did on Tuesday but it is far better than she was doing on advil and tylenol alone. I wish we could find a pain killer that would really knock it down to zero like it was on Tuesday so Mary could become more active again.
Tomorrow, Monday, is bone scan day. A trip to Stanford in the morning to load her up with the goo that enhances the imaging and a 2nd trip in the afternoon for the imaging process. A long day.
