A Good Week

Teresa had a good week, and marked a full three weeks living at her own home. Even though the chemo is finished, the fatigue remains a constant fact of life. Thank goodness for Teresa’s neighbor who does such a good job of shovelling out the driveway for her. That’s a much-appreciated service in this record snowfall winter!

Radiation treatment is scheduled to start on Thursday Mar. 20, and continue for three weeks following, Monday to Friday every week. Teresa went to Credit Valley Hospital for an orientation on Wednesday, and was very impressed.

Certainly looks like a nice facility

Two outings this week involved visits to Tim Horton’s. On Tuesday, Gayle Pilling picked Teresa up for a bible study at church and then lunch at Tim’s. Then on Wednesday, Susan and Mom took a stroll around Shopper’s World mall, and popped into Tim’s for coffee.

A sure sign that Spring's coming soon

It’s RRRoll up the Rim to Win time again, but Teresa finished out of the prize money this week. However, both of her coffees had encouraging messages to “please play again.”

So life continues. Teresa planned to visit Ottawa this weekend with Susan and John, but the trip was scrubbed because of the TWO big winter storms expected to blow through the Toronto/Ottawa/Montreal corridor. Certainly there are better ways to spend time than sitting on the highway in a heavy snowstorm waiting for a collision to clear up. By comparison, a cozy evening at home looks very attractive.
