Hail and well met,
The good news continues! She has been alert and feeling "Anita-OK" all evening: watching TV, ranting at politicians, getting started on yet another room design project, making plans for the 4th (hamburgers, baked beans, potato salad, decorations, etc.), chatting with John, cutting off more of her hair (it itches under the turban she wears at night), doing her crosswords, and otherwise being fantastically, and totally the Anita we know and love!
She even said that "I want to go to sleep so that I can find out how I'll be feeling in the morning!" Translation: She is excited about feeling as good as she does and is eager to see if it continues in the morning. Tonight she decided to take it easy on the food and only ate cottage cheese and applesauce topped off by an angelcot. Before going to sleep she also took her nausea medication, a tranquilizer and, as a precaution, some morphine drops . I am - and I know we all are - so proud of her and so impressed! She has met this whole situation with such courage, determination, wisdom, solicitude and bravado. Well, I always knew she was a tough act to follow!!!
So we are all off to bed and a peaceful sleep. We realize, of course, that the effect of today's treatment has not fully kicked in yet. Going on precedent, she will probably have a pretty good day tomorrow. It is what happens on Thursday that will tell us the most about how she is really handling this second treatment. But meanwhile, back at the ranch, all is peaceful.
Wishing all of you a glorious Fourth of July! It truly will be so here, in more ways than one!
Melissa
