Took Maryse to the oncology unit at Constantiaberg at 9:00, to the lounge-like setting where cancer patients receive their chemotherapy. It was to be a 5-6 hour long day in her chair. A good, caring atmosphere I thought, but still...
I had a great reminder from Maureen Thelland, our pal, who has experience in the ways of partnering a loved one with cancer. She said that when she was attending her partner that they chose to bless that clear liquid as it drips into the veins so that the process became sacred and something to be thankful for.
I hope to maintain thankfulness for this process and all who support it.
Anyway, so far so good. When I popped into the unit at 12:00, Maryse was doing OK, though the arm with the drip was sore. I will update an a few hours when I bring her home.

Irv used to come with me each time and tell jokes to the nurses. We laughed and it was easier. His support, like yours Steve, was my rock.
ReplyDeleteOh you guys...here's my joke of the day, hope it brings a smile...again from the Edinburgh Fest:
ReplyDeleteI was watching the London marathon and saw one runner dressed as a chicken and another runner dressed as an egg and i thought "Mmmm this could be interesting"
Please feel my love in each drip and drop and know that the thousands of miles between us is bridged.

We support you in blessings and thankfulness.
