Anna is settling in very nicely to her new schedule. The current schedule includes a check up on Monday and then a spinal tap (chemo) on Wednesday. She continues to take chemo pills as well, but since she takes those at home and don't seem to beat her up as much as some of the other stuff, the schedule is better than it has been. With this schedule she's pretty beat up on Wednesday and Thursday, but gains some additional energy by the weekend. This weekend was too cold to go out and do anything, but she was more active in the house than she's been in quite a while. She'll have a couple more weeks of this same schedule, so it'll be nice to get in a bit of a routine (especially one where she feels pretty good).
My mom was down this past week, so that was nice as it means that TJ and Anna are both here. TJ's back in the city this week with Anna's parents, but Anna decided to stay here... she's feeling good enough to be alone for a couple of days and is planning on driving herself to the appointment on Monday. This will be the first time she's done that, so it'll be a bit of a milestone on the path to well being.
Our friend Kathleen (and Anna's chauffeur) was in a car accident this past week while driving alone. She's out drinking today, so must be doing OK overall... little nervous when the chauffeur wrecks the car, but glad to hear Kathleen is bouncing back.
Pittsburgh looked great! Looking forward to seeing them again next week. Too bad about the G-men.
