Hanging in there

It's been a week since my last treatment and I'm feeling pretty good. Still tired but I'm back to doing more than sitting around reading for hours at a time, which is about all I did last Thursday and Friday.

My mom arrived yesterday and I took her to visit the CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) farm that I bought a share of this year. We get a big box of organically grown vegetables and herbs each week, sometimes supplemented by pick-your-own rasberries or blackberries and eggs. She was interested to see where I go each Saturday morning, and Farmer Leo was kind enough to spend about an hour with us showing her all the vegetables he's growing and explaining about his new beehives. He even gave her a few yellow squash, which I give back from my box each week.

Today we're supposed to go peach picking, although Ed just told me that storms are headed this way again. It's been unusually cool (in the upper 70s) and stormy (although not much rain to speak of) the past week or so. Isn't August supposed to be really hot?? Regardless of the weather, it's lovely to have her here for a few days.

I have treatment again on Friday and then my scans on Wednesday the 20th. I'm also having a full body bone scan that day, requested by my orthopedic surgeon. I'll definitely be glowing in the dark that night! I found out from my boss that he's extended his stay by a week, so I'll be headed back into the city on the 25th rather than the 18th. A few extra days of no alarm clock is fine by me. :)
