Carolin's New Hobby

The lovely summer of 2004 came to an abrupt end when Carolin was diagnosed with cancer. What follows are the random thoughts and experiences of the Camerons as Carolin fights back.

Slow and steady

Now that the weather has cooled off a little, it's not as bad to be spending so much time indoors. Since getting out of the hospital and dropping a lot of the meds I was on, I've steadily got stronger. Still there's a way to go. Lorna (Sandy's mom) spends most days with me and has been good enough to run me between chores and appointments. Karen, Collette and Michelle have all been generous with their time. They're all darlings to help so I can get pretty much all the things done that I want.

I'm hoping that I'll be able to return all the aids-to-daily-living stuff we have around the house sometime in October. I'm getting better at walking but the walker is great to have when I get tired. Falls are still a problem. It's a lousy feeling to know you're going over but not be able to stop yourself.

But the trend is positive. I'm getting a little stronger each day. (And Sandy is doing the vacuuming)
