Hi All,

This has been a rough week for Mary, the injections she received on Tuesday and Wednesday to raise her white and red blood counts have caused her a lot of pain and discomfort.

Yestarday was rough for several reasons, she began losing large amounts of her hair and a friend of ours, Jim Otwell, was buried. Jim was responsible for all the remodeling we've done to our home over the past year. Jim battled lung cancer for some time and had received a good health report last November but, his cancer came back after the first of the year and he passed away last Saturday. I attended Jim's funeral yesterday.Jim was very concerned about Mary's breast cancer and called to check on her often....he was a good friend and will certainly be missed. Mary was also in a lot of pain yesterday and basically just had the blues all day.

Mary slept pretty well last night and just woke up a few minutes ago. She looks rested for the first time this week. I need to run now so I can fix her breakfast and visit with her.
