Slow healing
Today did not bring any changes for Dale's stones. He says he does not feel well but it is manageable. He met with some friends for a few hours and had a delightfully fulfilling evening. It is always good to keep those close connected friendships going.
Our young friend who I mentioned a few weeks ago that has lymphoma, continues to have complications. Fevers led to viral pneumonia therefore she has several types of antibodies and other drip lines into her system. I feel so sad for her. This is tough to deal with. Although, Dale and I think we are doing fine, things sneak up and I realize the cancer and Dale's continuous healthcare is first priority. We work at "normalizing" life and it's daily tasks, but cancer is all encompassing and takes over. It is everything. The cure/treatment is a tough, unknown route of fragile health complications making it even worse. Neither Dale nor our friend heal very well any more it seems now. I hope it improves with time.
