radiation finished and clancy visit


Mom had her last radiation appointment on Friday morning.  So we are done with radiation for the foreseeable future.  Clancy's leaving on Monday morning after a week of help, music, and lots of construction!  Thank you Clancy!!  He rearranged Mom's apartment, and with the help of Mom's friend Skyler:  built a shelf and extension for her desk (including a spot for her typewriter), put up a high shelf, and added to the nook-feel of the kitchen area by adding a few shelves there.  The place has been transformed into what Mom calls her "hobbit house."  

Clancy and I had some good sibling time on Saturday and even were able to get some music-nerd time in!  He also put up a shelf in my house - yay!

Mom's pain has been a little better every day, although her energy is still low.  Chemo starts Wednesday and I will go with her to that first appointment.  Jennifer will arrive with Miss Oona Saturday morning, and will be joined by Dan and Miss Hazel a week after that. Yay for all of that.

the construction clancy did sounds really great..i heard about it when i talked to janet on saturday.
i'm making it my mission to call her every week, make her laugh, & try to send strength & energy. we are so in-tune..even tho i've always been the oldest, she's the one who eventually props me up. i love you all so much, jennifer if you remember what i told you on your wedding day about grandmother..the offer still stands..for all of course..love much & more sharon (ward)..
