Uneventful Update

Uneventful is pretty welcome around here. Grateful to be leading as close to normal a life as we can. Saturday it was things like watch the Ohio State game (if you can call that a game) getting apples and cider from our favorite little local apple grower (the best stuff often comes from tiny little places you might miss if you blink driving by). And of course dog walks. Dog walks are usually a routine walk through the neighborhood. But sometimes the humans toss in a special side trip, like a walk through Prairie Oaks Metro Park. 

For those who are unfamiliar it was once a working quarry but has now been restored to the prairie land it once was (the bodies of water a reminder of its brush with the quarry industry). Dogs love it because of all the great smells.

As the weather starts to change we’re taking notice of people sneezing and coughing. With Jeannies compromised immune system she’s getting pretty sensitive about this. The point was kind of driven home last week when we were having dinner in a restaurant and the water girl kept coming by to refill the ice water. Tip to wait staffs everywhere. Don’t go from table to table grabbing glass after glass, touching each one and passing along whatever you come into contact with along the way. Something you normally wouldn’t think much about unless you’re suddenly protecting yourself from microbes. I could be living in the basement if I dare to come down with something. I’m definitely keeping up on my vitamins and supplements.

Thursday brings the third round of the first biweekly chemo series of four (to be followed by a dozen weekly sessions). So say a prayer, keep a thought, cross some fingers whatever you’re inclined to do. It’s appreciated.
