It has been a little more than a week since my last blog posting. What has happened this past week? What in our crazy life are people interested in? What do we have to share?
Last week on Tuesday April 22 Mom had another round of chemo. This was her third treatment and the first one without other health issues bogging her down. We are able to notice a pattern now in her week. We are starting to be able to predict what days will be harder and easier. There is some comfort in a routine.
Last week Saturday April 26 Steve and I accepted an offer on our house. There was much relief and rejoicing. We went to Maya and Elias' soccer games with big smiles on our faces. Packing felt more exciting. We had a celebration dinner.
Last week Sunday April 27 my Grandma was out alone on her evening walk and fell. My Dad and Granddaddy took her to the emergency room. She was admitted to the hospital and stayed the night. The next day she learned that her pelvis cracked in two places. She is home now and using a wheelchair and walker to get around. She is doing really well. She is such a strong woman.
Today April 29 Mom had her fourth dose of chemo. She thinks her hair might be beginning to come out. She had an appointment with her oncologist after completing her chemo. He said that he can see and feel that the chemo is working!
Today we had our home inspection. I nervously wait for the results. When the inspection results are negotiated then we are another big step forward in completing this sale.
We are still following the schedule of closing on our Buchanan St house Thursday May 15 and moving Saturday May 17. Thank you to everyone who is writing me to let me know that we can use their pick-ups and their person power on this big day. I really believe that we can use everyone who can come. For just a short list of big items we have to move consider these things: 3 water beds, 2 freezers, a greenhouse, a kiln, 2 pottery wheels, over 20 outdoor whisky barrel planters, couches, loves seats, 6 chests of drawers, a loft bed, desks, hutches, and boxes and boxes of toys, books, and dishes. We are getting rid of lots of stuff, but there is a ton to move and we can use all of your help.
We have added another event into the agenda and that is an open house at my parent's place on Sunday May 18. Yes, this is the day after we move. Unfortunately it is really the best day to do it. So, in addition to moving on May 17 we also need to clean house! Please help!
Then the next weekend May 24 we will be having a garage sale.
Our house on Dixon st. is scheduled at this point to close on May 30.
Yes, we are involved in many stressful things. Possibly some of you think we are completely out of our minds. Sometimes we are! But, we continue to believe that Mom's cancer has provided us with an awakening and opportunity to live our lives in a way that strongly supports our beliefs and values. Thank you for all of you who are loving and supporting us on this journey.
Love, Emily
