How about a little good news? I have been in less pain lately! Thanks to all & sundry (looking at you, Michael!) for the good thoughts & well-wishes. My last visit with the oncologist included a discussion of the uses of radiation therapy, which it turns out would be rather limited for yours truly because of the widespread distribution of my disease; and a mention of an expected result of less pain at this point in my chemo treatments. I'm still having more or less constant pain in my leg, right around where that one lesion resides. If it continues thru the next month, a quick zap of radiation to that one spot may be in order. We shall see. I'm making plans to return to work near the end of October, and beginning to wean myself from the walker. Don't know if I mentioned the walker here before; I had to "pimp" it up so it would be less depressing: I put a bicycle horn on one side, and a bicycle bell (a Dinger 200! Woot!) on the other. My wheels have a voice.
I am still plugging on the Gramps Cardi; I'm at the point in the pattern where the designer is trusting the knitter to know how to fit those darling cables between the neckline & raglan decreases. I'm so screwed, aka clueless, aka ready to make a small bonfire somewhere....if only this yarn weren't so lovely. I see there's a huge thread on Ravelry of other folks trying to come to grips with this beast. Sure do wish I had the interwebs at home, so I could peruse it at leisure!
I was supposed to see the doctor on the 19th, and was prepared to get all pirate-y on those folks (my pirate name is Captain Anne Bonney) for ITLAPD. Only we had to reschedule due to insurance coverage issues. So Disco (aka Red Bess Bonney) and I dressed up to go to the laundromat, and then to the local meat-n-three. Got lots of comments on my Captain's hat!
