I realized this afternoon that there was no blog entry last night. It was a good, uneventful day, and I guess no news was good news.
Today was also good, but importantly, you need to know that Laurie continues to eat meat. For those of you who have not been following my omnivorous rantings, after more than a year as a self-professed vegetarian, since - let's say - she became aware of her illness - Laurie has begun to sneak meat - first some turkey meatballs with our spaghetti; then on Wednesday some chicken noodle soup (see the pattern?) and tonight some cheese filled tortellini with panna. OK, so the lasty one didn't count but she would have taken meat if I had offered....
Anyway, this a.m., Missy picked Laurie up and she got her first outing without me, and to her favorite place - our local library. 2nd heaven to Laurie. Thank you Missy-belle!
Tonight Laurie seemed a bit depressed. This is probably not surprising given all that has been and will continue to develop. I don;'t think it is anything more than a one-off (what the Brits would call 'bespoke') down evening probably linked to what she knows is ahead. It would depres me to know and for me to have to anticipate my head being cut open and a bulge removed, regardless of how good I knoew the surgeon was. So I am ok with it and am not worried it is abnormal. It is normal. I am going to get up now and go over and hug her and tell her its ok. Ok, I did it. She seemed better, anyway. God is good!
