My mom has not been one to rest much in her life (too much to do and see) but that's what she is having to do now. At first she resisted it. Then she was mad about it because she felt unproductive. Now, she's eased into realizing her body needs it and she lets herself. She might have a morning full of errands or a game of bridge with her card-playing buddies, but then she takes a nap. And she never misses watching a game of Emily or Paul's after that.
She continues to be well-managed by her team of doctors and nurses. She trusts them completely. They see her every Monday, and sometimes more often if a treatment is scheduled. They call to check on her, and they request that she checks in with them, daily if necessary. She and her chief oncologist, Dr. Laufman have a plan, and they shake on it.
I'm headed to Ohio this weekend. Enjoy the photos below from a recent trip Norma made to St. Louis. Expect more photos next week.
