Gratitude

Judy here, so this will lack the humor that accompanies Ron's posts. I am feeling much better than the latter half of last week, with no idea why there are such dramatic changes from one day to the next. Rather than becoming overly analytic, we will gladly take the good days with the bad.


Today, when visiting the oncologist, we discovered my liver function tests had dropped to within normal range, something we are very grateful for and an answer to prayer since they had been steadily climbing.

We are constantly overwhelmed by the kindness of so many folk towards us. 

 This morning a friend brought breakfast - quiche and muffins - which she must have got up early to prepare since she delivered it before 7.30 am. We were able to enjoy it with some of the Canadian Snoeks who called us Saturday night and asked if we would like them to visit the next day. 

They arrived yesterday afternoon and this morning while we visited the oncologist - only away for 90 minutes in total - with the three of them they managed to clean the bathroom, polish off a huge pile of ironing, vacuum all of the dog's hair off the carpet downstairs, do some garden maintenance and place some tar on the roof where we still have a leak into the porch. There are probably other jobs I haven't noticed yet.

This past week we continued to have meals delivered and this afternoon another one came, which are prepared with such care. It is very touching to be the recipients of all this love and support. Thank you all so much; it is humbling.
