'Twas a good trip to MD. While mrs tg's mom was probably about the same - though both eating and getting around a little bit better - as when we last saw her, that was a vast improvement over the interim. Tumors seem to be shrinking in response to treatment. I imagine she'll show improved energy this week as her body gets a break from chemo.
It was really good for us to be there. Her dad got a break from cooking, which should carry forward somewhat as we managed to a) leave some leftovers, b) let him freeze a casserole that someone brought while we were there, and c) make some stew (from homemade stock) that we put up in the freezer for them, as well. With other kitchen-capable family coming in for a few days starting tomorrow, and if he manages his stored resources by mixing them in with freshly cooked meals on alternate days, he may end up with several weeks of not having to plan and cook nightly.
Also got some yard work in. Not nearly all the leaves have fallen yet, but at least there will be 20 fewer bags of them for whoever deals with the rest. Was happy to be able help out a little on the finishing touches to the wheelchair ramp, and we got a little light housekeeping addressed, too.
Arrived home on Monday for a final rehearsal before our gig this coming Sunday. The rehearsal itself was great fun mixed with very challenging news; more on that in a separate post.
Sounds like a very productive trip.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to hear about the rehearsal and the actual program.
I don't know if you have satellite radio but I recently brought mine into the office. I've had it for a few years but never used it. Anyway, Sirius and XM merged some channels Wednesday. I have XM. Now there is a Catholic channel. I've listened to parts of a few shows and I'm hooked!
