I hope you both enjoy a restful weekend before that last treatment.

No doubt you both will have learned much and changed for the better after going through this together. I am so glad you were able to get out on the trail again even for a short hike. It does wonders for the spirit. Stay strong - you are doing well.

Then you two --with changed lives---can have the best late Thanksgiving and upcoming Christmas you have EVER had..

My only advice is to give yourself a break on the forgetfulness thing. It is a part of stress and the more you fret over it the worse it becomes. Manage yourself with lists, etc just like you have been. Your mind will return in time.<br />LoriLorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06348740719854853661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990977257817044347.post-10962305169998487302013-11-19T13:31:11.190-05:002013-11-19T13:31:11.190-05:00I'm glad to hear you are out of round two, and...I'm glad to hear you are out of round two, and on a hike as well! :) *hugs* Sharon, to both of you!Kyrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12496930376646300796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990977257817044347.post-30269106640941977832013-11-19T11:44:21.596-05:002013-11-19T11:44:21.596-05:00Glad to hear you are out of round 2.

Hugs and support for the remainder are headed your way. <br /><br />You wrote that the new "normal" will look very different" and I'm guessing you may be right. That isn't always a bad thing though - illness certainly changed our priorities, and I think for the better. My own beloved Bill's period of poor health brought us even closer and made us appreciate each other more and, very definitely, appreciate the good things about the life we have.<br /><br />As to that "inability to concentrate" - don't sweat it. Your focus right now is the most important thing and that's health - both yours and Bill's. The rest isn't that great a deal and can be caught up with (if necessary) at a later date.<br /><br />Take care (both of you) and enjoy the outdoors whenever you can. May it bring you peace and strength.Denizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09633002838343992787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990977257817044347.post-54226363608001389292013-11-19T10:57:11.534-05:002013-11-19T10:57:11.534-05:00Yeah! for a hike!

Don't hold back from asking your friends to help you batch cook meals for you for the freezer during the remission weeks- soups and stews and easy (but nutritious) foods for you to digest during the tough times. <br /><br />Take care and keeping you and Bill in my prayers.

So thankful Bill is sleeping well. That was one of David's biggest problems, he couldn't sleep. This business really knocks the body for a loop....tired, no stamina. Glad to hear you will be out hiking in the renewing natural world. Being the caregiver is very hard work and I'm not at all surprised at the way it is manifesting in you. Exercise is both physically and mentally important. You are both in our hearts!Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00328866430156879312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990977257817044347.post-63786089359955895872013-11-19T07:41:02.264-05:002013-11-19T07:41:02.264-05:00I love the covered bridges you have over there is ...I love the covered bridges you have over there is the states, we have nothing like that here.
