My Journey: Saturday

Saturday

Day 9 of my first cycle and I'm feeling much better. Fever is gone, as is the fatigue of the past couple of days. We had a pretty active day. Took a 1 1/2 mile walk in the cold but sunny morning, then went to watch my 7-year old grandson's tennis lessons. Kids came over afterward and I managed to lose five straight games of Ducks in a Row to the 7-year old. I wish I could say I was going easy on him but by the end I think he was going easy on me. Maybe I can blame it on the cancer.

MY ASSISTANTS

This blog, as well as this whole journey, would not be possible without my dedicated and highly capable team of assistants. To wit:

Editor Nancy This lovely young woman is responsible for checking my posts thoroughly for misspellings, syntax errors, omissions, or just plain bad writing. Any complaints should be addressed to her.

Nurse Nancy Though she is not really a nurse, she is always willing to research any problem that arises and to make a diagnosis. She is particularly good at contradicting a doctor's diagnosis if she doesn't like it.

Chef Nancy I'm very lucky to have a personal chef who is expert in a number of different cuisines that I love. In addition to Armenian food, which she learned from my mother, she makes wonderful Italian, Mexican and Indian dishes, as well, of course, as traditional American fare. She is not afraid to try cooking something new, though she always complains about how it came out (in spite of my protestations to the contrary).

Chauffeur Nancy One of the advantages of being sick is that I can kick back and relax on long journeys, while my trusted Chauffeur Nancy does the driving. Also, I get break from being back-seat driven.
