So until a good friend pointed out that I hadn't updated this blog in about a month I had no idea it had been that long. And I tend to think of that as a good thing since the whole goal with this thing was just to update it when there was "news." Happily, there's not much to report right now. Karen continues to do well although she is pretty sick of her leg being swollen from the blood clot. It looks more and more likely that the clot is going to take the full three months to dissolve that our doctor said it might.
But other than that....nothing much is going on in terms of medical facts and whatnot.
Still, there are things going on around here. We are looking forward a lot. Our lives have been filling up with things to do. Karen and I are going to the French Laundry on Thursday, I've got Coachella next month, my parents will be up in May for my and my mom's shared birthday, and then in June we have that Alaska cruise. Having something good to look forward to is a real boon because it takes our focus off all the other things ahead of us.
Things like: Karen just got her fourth bottle of crizotinib. This means she is entering the approximate midway point of this drug's efficacy. Every biohazard-bagged bottle that comes ticks us closer to the 8 or 9 month mark where we can expect the drug to stop working. Having good things to look forward to muffles the giant countdown clock ticking away in the background. Not that we need BIG LANDMARK EVENTS to make things nice. I don't know that we've enjoyed an evening more than the one a few weeks ago when our good friends the Salvators came by with deep dish pizza for a night of laughter loud enough to frighten the entire neighborhood. We'd love more nights like that so feel free to invite yourself. You don't even need to bring pizza.
