Monday, November 20 - A Good Day

"You can only go so far into the darkest forest, then you start to come out..."
Old Chinese proverb

A Good Day and New Phase A good day today as my treatments ended... A New Day As Jen and I were rushing out for my final treatment, one of Jen's cousins came by. She was going to a wedding overseas. Jen and I had a gift for the bride and groom which she was going to deliver for us. As soon as we gave her the gift, wouldn't you know it Canada Post drove up and handed Jen a box, from our relative, from Chicago.

Ever the curious, I took the box upstair and began to open it. I then thought to myself, "What are you doing?" You are off to the clinic and ending a phase of your treatment. Why don't you try to post gratification, for once, and wait till you come home and begin your post-treatment phase with it."This made a lot of sense, so I waited. I am glad that I did.

Today was the last RT session and a new beginning,

just like this Double Amaryllis Pasedena that was given to us...

Double Amaryllis Pasedena

And oh yes... inside the box?
An absolutely amazing selection of teas that I hope that I will soon be able to taste and enjoy...
A collection of South American, Brazilian and Argentinian ballads ... to which I can dance...
And also the book by Lauren Singer, Get Out of the Way, I'm Dancing which chronicles the life of a woman who is living with Multiple Sclerosis...
