A breath of fresh air

Cathy's mom and I arrived for a visit today with lots of delicious home cooked meals and a car load of groceries selected by Mrs. C. Cathy agreed to brave the great outdoors of King St for a stroll. We managed a block or two before her energy ran out . Good to be out in the neighbourhood! CC loved receiving (and eating some) of the meals made by her mom, Lara and Sylvia!

Looks good for a bikini this summer....

"This mark would not deter me from wearing a bikini", says Cathy of her scar. She continues to heal from surgery and gets stronger each day. Cathy is still trying to gain weight as she doesn't want to look like a 98 lb weakling on the beach this summer. Her legs are starting to look more familiar. As chemo will not be happening for 2-3 weeks, CC plans to focus her energies on feeling better and enjoying food, friends and activities...

A New Interest

CC went without her expensive new (compression) stockings yesterday so she could get on with other stuff, and despite being on her feet for a good period of time, her legs, ankles and feet seem to be looking slimmer and sexier. Is it possible that the swelling is getting better? All fingers are crossed. The tedium of being limited to about a 720 square feet world is setting in. Thankfully Cathy has discovered a new interest that I'm guessing will surprise most of us...baseball! It is a game of intense strategy, I'm told. As I left last night, Cathy was happily settling in for the third game of the World Series.
