I had a good weekend. Saturday I took Jessie to the park. It was cold. Very cold. Then my son, grandson and I went out to breakfast and then to the Connecticut Children's Museum. My grandson had a blast. He cried when we made him leave every exhibit, because he was having so much fun in every one of them. We even saw a brief planetarium show and a movie in the planetarium. It snowed 6 or 8 inches on Saturday night and on Sunday morning we had breakfast at home, and then David, my son and my grandson and I went to the park - but the other side of the park from where I usually go with Jessie - because there is a big hill there. David had found 2 plastic tray-like thingys in our basement that belonged to someone who had moved out. They appeared to be made for "sledding" on snow. So we took those. First my son went down holding my grandson on his lap, but later my grandson went down on the "sled" by himself (although we had moved to a slightly gentler slope before he did that). He spied a playground in the park and wanted to go there, so we trudged through the snow to the playground equipment and he happily climbed and slid and had fun there. Then more hill sliding. It was a good - if exhausting - morning.
THe other day my son remarked on how "healthy" I seem, being thankful for it. I do feel healthy, relatively speaking. I mean I felt healthy before all this began - except for the one problem I was having (breakthrough bleeding which isn't supposed to "break through" when you are a post-menopausal woman).
It has been a good visit. I loved spending time with my grandson who is amazing. I'm sure every grandmother says that, especially about a first grandchild, but nonetheless...
Anyway, I have to work this morning and then my son and grandson fly out this afternoon - assuming that the airport delays have cleared up and their plane is able to take off.
Tonight, Tai Chi. Tomorrow night, the Decadron routine again (5 tablets at 10:00 pm - 2 hours past my bedtime). Wednesday, Chemo. Thursday, NuLasta shot.
In the meantime, peace.
