Gonna Climb A Mountain

You may have noticed that the past few blog titles have been associated with song titles or lyrics. Tonight I asked Cathy for a song lyric that expressed her feelings at this moment. She gave me title lyric from a Marshall Tucker Band song: Can't You See. She said this particular line in that song kinda says it all for her (the rest of the song is a little depressing).

The physical therapist did not show up again today. Tomorrow Cathy is going to ask one of the care partners to take her for a walk.

The ultrasound was not performed today either. The bumps have not been bothering her a hole lot the past day or so. I guess they will eventually go away and we will never know what they were or what caused them. Cathy is receiving so many medications it is a wonder she hasn't grown something more than some extra bumps.

In general, Cathy is doing pretty good. She is eating a little here and there, she has a desire to get up and go, and for the most part her pains back to her baseline (her chronic headaches and occasionally the pressure sore reminds her it is still there).

Hey Girlie! Happy Tuesday! Glad to hear it didn't bring any unwelcome events or news! Sorry you missed your PT again! Way to take the bull by the horns by asking the Care Partner tomorrow...you always find a way. That's what makes you such a strong fighter. You always do what you have to do. We can all learn something from you!

You are my hero and I love you!
