Plumbers in the Backyard

No, that's not code for constipation. There really are plumbers in the backyard.

They are installing an extra water faucet inside the fence for Lou's convenience. They are working right under the bedroom window. It's interesting to listen to them.

The painkiller is kicking in.

I didn't mention it before but this morning whenever I took a deep breath, I would have pain in a couple spots in my lungs, which I assume are the tumor spots. But now that painkiller is kicking in, those pains are gone.

On a day like today, it's hard to blog. It's hard to find something cheerful to include in the report. I can sort of imagine that it will be harder in the future. However, I do expect things to improve when I start the next chemo. It will beat back the cancer.

Dear Karen,

This is a good time to celebrate your bravery for the hard thing you've just done--have the surgery that is getting you ready to whomp on that cancer somemore. It's causing trouble for you today, but you are going to cause trouble for it tomorrow.

We're sending you hugs and lots of love,

Jeannie and the rest of the Mehans--Eric, Tom, and Phil
