It's complicated, but she's still winning!

This week has had its share of complications for Laura:
  • She hasn't slept well since her last chemo.
  • She's lost more weight.
  • She still can't taste food.
  • Her mouth is bothering her.

In spite of that, there have been some high points:

  • Yesterday she went to the Coumadin Clinic and received a good report. (She still has to go check in with them once-a-week, though.)
  • Had a good report today from Dr. Jani.
  • She's been to the YMCA every day this week and one day she completed the whole spinning class.
  • She and her friend, Mrs. Cannon spent a day together driving around, visiting Mrs. Cannon's sister, looking at camellias, and even went to Happy Hour at Steak 'n' Shake!
  • She's going to Atlanta this weekend (Her friend Claire is taking her.) and she's going to see a couple of movies she's wanted to see ("Gran Torino" and "Milk").
  • Through some of her "television research" she has provided me with valuable information on how I can improve the quality of my health with vitamin D and a "Happy Light." (Not much sun in the Pacific Northwest during the winter -- and REALLY not much lately.) :-)
For those of you who have asked, there is a way to order a "GoFightWin!" shirt. In the upper right-hand corner of this blog (above Laura's picture), there is a link so that you can order the shirts and have them sent directly to you.

Have a happy weekend!
