We had a family dinner out tonight to celebrate George Hill's birthday (Tom's dad). And now we're in bed, reading about the Massachusetts election for Ted Kennedy's seat that will kill health care (thank you to the out of state funders once again). What poetic irony. I shouldn't read anything political at night. I get too upset and can't sleep. Goodbye reform of pre-existing conditions. Good bye. I'm sure these jerks are right... that people don't really need their health and that Sarah Palin would make a better president. I'm sick to my stomach.
My sister Juliet comes from Australia on Saturday. There. That's something to make me smile and stop thinking about the demise of my country. She won a business award to come and learn green business techniques in Portland and is stopping to see us for a week. She's never met Adeline!
I am going to lie down and breath deeply and try to be in the present moment. My blood test is in the morning. It will tell us about my liver enzyme levels and my docs will determine my next course of action. more chemo, different chemo, no chemo...
A good friend has been diagnosed with colon cancer. She has been going through a lot of major personal hurdles and has two kids. She has yet to have the CT scan and doesn't know the staging yet. I'm crossing my fingers (as if that helps).
What is going on in our world? Was it always this hard for the grown-ups and we kids were blissfully unaware?
i think about those exact two last questions myself, all the time.....sending you peace....
