Dear Friends,
Today, Kip has struggled with pain, sometimes dull and aching, sometimes a bit more ferocious. So we will learn about managing it. This is likely due to the combination of the joint and muscle pain caused by the Taxol, and the bone pain caused by the growth hormone. Kip took a T-3 and that helps, but it has its own effects....
Julie Salverson came by this afternoon with treats and conversation. It was a spectacular day here, the air soft and warm, the sky grey. Kip got out for a bit of a walk, and I got out for a run and found the trails by the Humber River!
We started watching The Wire. Four episodes in and the three of us are intrigued. A bag of other movies and tv shows arrived from Julie's friend Rose, so we will have to figure out how to stretch at the same time we watch so our bum prints aren't permanently etched on the couch!
Again, thanks to all for your humour, love, etc. Immovane (or, the magic blue pill), is a wonderful thing, and I have a good hunch it will take Kip down into a land of dreamless, painless rest.
Love,
Catherine (and Kip)
Hey Kip and Catherine:
ReplyDeleteBack from Philly for my Aunt Cynthia's 80th birthday party. It was an amazing event, especially following the last time my family got together, which was for my mom's funeral in August...
But I was away from the blog for a few days and just catching up. It's such a rich tapestry of life...
Now of course I can't stop thinking of yew songs and stories. I'll refrain as this could get annoying.
But I do just love yew guys!
Abbie
