It’s difficult to relate all that’s happened in the last few days. Sometimes I’m at a loss for words.  No, it’s not all been bad although we’ve had a bit of discomfort and one long stretch of teeth-gnawing anxiety. But it’s been mixed with some smiles and good times, too. How ’bout I just dig right in. Continue reading Our Weekend →

I thought it might be neat, if not useful, to visually represent what has happened since our diagnosis. I’ll update this image as time passes but it’s worth sharing as it is right now. (Click the image to make it full-sized.)

Maggie’s off to MD Anderson this morning.  She flew out via Angel Flight at 9AM for a full day of treatment.  My last post had her there on Friday but her schedule had changed from our last post so that we could use Angel Flights for transportation.  So, today treatment all day and into the evening.  Tomorrow, fly back home in the AM.

Maggie is still doing fine.  Happy, happy.  We’ve had a recent respite on the vomiting, too, which is nice.  Pain seems to be not getting worse.  All of these things make for many smiles (and/or less frowns.) Continue reading Smooth Sailing →

The last few days have been just charming.  Maggie been feeling great.  We are both rather surprised and relieved!  What a roller coaster ride. Continue reading Doing Great →

We got back late last night from MD Anderson.  Maggie is doing surprisingly well.  She’s sleeping right now, which ain’t that unusual, but throughout yesterday and into the morning she was doing great.  Our MD Anderson experiences continue to disappoint.  I think I’m going to rename them from The Wizards to The Clowns and just call the hospital The Circus.  I’ve decided that their reputation for excellence is based merely on numbers.   If you treat a bazillion cancer patients every day, you get lucky occasionally and those lucky few make lots of noise.

It’s our newly-adopted Indian name.  Here’s the latest.  Yesterday marked a sad day for us as we said goodbye to Maggie’s law office.  August 4, 2008, the first day in her new digs, until yesterday.  Actually, October 15th was the day we shut it down per doctor’s orders.  It has been sitting empty, a sad memorial to a brief, but much celebrated, career as a lawyer.  Yesterday Flo and Sami sealed the deal by delivering Maggie’s office computer to our house.  The new guy, the squatter, came to her office today to sit in the chair we bought behind the desk we picked.  We wish him luck.  But the saga is over… or, for at least now, is on hold.
