So, Biff's got the latest chemo grenade attached. Fatigue has been tough. But he's hanging in there. And he's still steadier on his feet than he was when he had those falls and ended up in the hospital back in May. Not a single fall since that horrible month.
Wiggles, our new pup, continues to become a beloved member of our family more and more. Totally bonded with Bopper, and more and more affectionate with us humans, too. She is a real character, so energetic and wiggly (until she passes out for a nap!). Still shocks us - we really had forgotten how exhausting a puppy can be. But entertaining, too.
Have also had fun visiting with my brother, Dana, and his girlfriend, Jenny, and their big dogs, Tank and Soda Pop (I have to remember to take some pictures next visit - Soda Pop and Wiggles LOVE to play and run!). They've recently relocated to L.A. from New York. So nice to have them closer. (Shout out to their cat, Fife, too - he tends to stay out of sight while the dogs take over during our visits.)
Generally, I think the relentless stress has worn us out, with the impact hitting hard recently. We had considered taking a trip this month but had to accept it's not feasible with chemo treatments still in progress. I've also been dealing with dental problems, which, at least for me, are never fun. 😜
Anyway, we keep on keeping on, as best we can. Some days are harder than others. Letting our life keep pretty quiet and mellow for now. As we gather our energy and focus again (slowly but steadily), we'll be getting back to house projects and engagement with life outside our little bubble. And I'll get back to more postings here...
For now, we just try to allow ourselves some grace, accepting that we are doing our best during this difficult year.
Always so grateful we have each other to share this life - in sickness and in health, and all the rest of it. ❤️
