With apologies to those who already have most of this
message via Facebook, I have FINALLY heard from my neurosurgeon, who has
declared the most recent MRI (almost 2 weeks ago) to be clean and
spotless. TWO MORE MONTHS OF GRACE!
I just finished round 3 of 6 of chemo and am almost back to
normal. Even tho it is oral and not IV,
it still takes a toll on one and I am looking forward to getting it behind
me. Speaking of, the rear-facing wound
remains healed and causing no issues other than the physical tightness and
weakness that came about through the long recuperation period. PT is helping with that and the exercise
level is getting more and more back to normal.
Golf is not yet satisfying, but it continues to
improve. I am walking/carrying, but the
feet are begging for relief. My jog/walk
routine has continued to improve, both in times and endurance, but I’m
beginning to wonder how much longer I need to put me knees to the stress of 4-5
miles at a time.
We just got back from several days in Staunton, VA with my
brothers and their wives and our daughter and her family, where we buried our
mother in the family plot. (Photos
attached) Her predecessors were among
the original settlers in the Shenandoah valley and we had a great time checking
out old family sites, as well as the fellowship of greatly separated kin. We rented a house through VRBO which was out
in the country and was outstanding in every way. Recommendations available if you’re planning
to be in the area.
Best regards, best wishes, and much love,
Rossobasso
