We are so happy to be home. Trish and I had family over today to celebrate Father's Day and Trish's recent successes. It was a simple affair, nothing fancy -- burgers and dogs -- Trish had wanted to do homemade buns, but gave in to her reduced energy levels. We did make fresh made burgers (real sirloin, no Bubba frozen burgers). Trish's Famous chocolate chip cookies, but the ice cream was store bought. We also made some home made lemonade (no crystal light here) -- but the jury is still out whether it was too tart or too sweet.
It was probably the first time we spent more time relaxing and talking to people than we spent in food prep. Tomorrow, I go into my office for the first time in 5 months. Trish is home. Tuesday and Thursday are doctors days this week.
Just found an article on the former wife of the former mayor of Washington D.C. -- Effie Barry (Marion Barry was the former mayor of DC), she will be getting a transplant over the same period as Trish -- a level of semi famous person.
At some point during the treatment, we expect to lose insurance benefits. Today we also got to meet one of the folks who is working to help us get through that expected hurdle. Earlier this week, the Golden Wolves hockey club held a fundraiser for us and anoher person with ALL. It is just so amazing the amount of folks coming out to help us. Of course, I am still stunned that we will need this kind of help.
Enjoy your week - we plan on enjoying ours.
