What a nice week we enjoyed this past week. I am not sure what made it special but I am thinking that it was the lifting of a fog or the lifting of a tension or urgency that surrounded us for the previous two weeks. Bob felt good, altho by Sunday night and last night (Mon) the pain in the bones was returning esp in bed--must be the pressure when he lies down on the places where the cancer has shown itself. Aside from that we relaxed and enjoyed life more sans the body and mental tension.
Bob is working on a glass project and spent time on that--re designing, changing, going back to the glass store for another/ different piece of glass. Bob deals at Rubyiat Stained Glass Store. They are more of a restorative, commissioned place and should you ever have the need to see some amazing pieces in progress that is the place to go. PLUS the new west LRT runs right by it-----at the way up high in the sky part. We plan to take that western LRT ride very soon.
We went out for dinner at the Bolero restaurant with three other couples and truly did enjoy the evening. The restaurant is something we hadn't experienced before. I believe it is Brazilian. You help yourself to a salad bar, to dishes I was only vaguely familiar with but they were very tasty. The main course (read: meats) is all cooked and served on swords. The waiters come back and forth to your table and cut pieces off of what ever is on the sword--chicken, lamb, fish, several kinds of beef (always rare--yuk), pork and on and on---17 different swords each different. The whole meal is an explosion of many flavors but not overly spicy. It was fun just to experience something different. Bob's boss picked up the tab so that made the whole experience very sweet---just like the roasted pineapple. Thanks NJ.
We also had Tim and Barbie's kids over one night. They are sure great kids. Bob spent a lot of time with Colton. Colton is driving so he was grandpa's chauffeur for a couple of days. That way there were actual destinations to get to and not "turn left, turn right, ok turn left again". At the end of April Colton will be 16 yikes..........................It was a good week.
Proceed----Bob has left to do a couple of errands for work and then on to Tom Baker Cancer Center. Proceeding to the lab and then to the waiting room and then to have the chemo. He has the anti nausea meds with him so I am sure that they will continue to work. Proceed home. This time we have an idea of what to expect but our life now slows down (as if...it was set on the rabbit!!!). Looking forward to these two weeks not being as daunting as last time. I have a hard time keeping all the appointments and times straight. Bob manages "because he has a Blackberry". But I ask you; who will remind you to put a hat on, take water, and say I love you------no Blackberry I've seen.
The friend who sent me this quote begins chemo this week for breast cancer. Keep the faith Nancy!!!
"To be certain of God means that we are uncertain in all our ways, not knowing what tomorrow may bring. This is generally expressed with a sigh of sadness, but it should be an expression of breathless expectation. We are uncertain of the next step, but we are certain of God."
