one week to go

Next week Diane starts her radiation treatments, the office called today and told her to be there at 8:15 AM ! For those of you who know Diane, she LOVES her sleep and during the summertime people know not to call her before 10:30. Now that we are on school schedules, it should not be a problem, we wake up at 7:00 AM. It might be a bit hard to get three kids out the door by 8:00 and then leave for Concord, where the treatments are at. Hopefully it will only be 8:15 for the first week.

Diane is feeling well, sleeping well, and eating well. She is still sore and numb around her neck and left cheek, and she has no feeling in her lower left ear, but overall is a model of good health.


My sister Maria flew out here from PA this last weekend to visit and we had a wonderful time. Diane and her went shopping in Walnut Creek, we just hung out at the house part of the time, and on Friday we went to see Teatro Zinzanni in the City. AMAZING !!! It's part Cirque, part Vaudeville, part Beach Blanket Baylon all thrown in together under a circular tent that is transformed into an intimate dinner club. The cast walk by your table and chat with you, the performances are spaced out throughout the evening as you dine on a 5 course meal. We laughed all night long and it was great seeing the whole family enjoy the entire evening.!


OK, so I didn't smile. I was waiting for the photographer to say "one, two, three". Don't they all say that???

Praying and thinking about you all - So happy you were able to spend a carefree night out on the town. Hang in there during this next treatment phase! Rest more than you think you need, and don't hesitate to ask for help.
