Yesterday I woke up for the first time with too much energy. As I would get up when I am not sick. That was weird. It made me very restless. Like I had too much coffee (which I now hardly drink). It was good to feel like that. And scary. Its like when you sprained your ankle and you can walk on in for the first time.
So yesterday morning I was doing way to much and getting nothing done š I was happy that around 11 I got tired again. A familiar way of life now. But it didn’t stop me!
Lori came home at 12 and we went out to lunch at Dauphine. A restaurant in the neighborhood which has a nice outside terrace. It is also the place where we always sit with Mobile Monday for meetings and where lots of people that I know met and eat. This time we saw Knook. An old fraternity buddy.
After lunch we booked a weekend in hotel Carelshaven in Delden. Delden is where I grew up. Its in the east of Holland (klik for Gmap). The town is small, old with lots of nature, a castle and there is some stuff to do. We will stay Friday night (today) and Saturday night. For me it will be a trip down memory lane. And Lori will enjoy understanding the local accent. For some reason during round one I came up with the idea to go there and now I have the energy. We did have to cancel some other appointments and I really hope people understand.
Jos and Anita came by in the afternoon. We ended up bbqing too. Jos had to help me a lot because by now I was really pushing it. That was good. I haven’t done that until now yet. The food was good and so was the company.
Oh, and in between I finally installed Windows on my Mac (including bootcamp, parallels and MS office)…
So busy busy busy.
Monday I will have the CT scan to see where theo is at and how small he is. Tuesday i will hear the result. As soon as possible i will publish the photo’s of the scans so you too can see how small it got. Wednesday I wil go back in the hospital for another 6 day stay. On that day I will be exactly halfway in my treatment.
We had a great time too, hope you will have about the same amount of energy this weekend on your well deserved trip to Delden. Enjoy!
Love Anita
