Apparently I have numerous rib fractures and fractures in both hips, which is why my oncologist keeps offering the good drugs. He basically said, "Just don't do anything that really hurts," which is not much help, because I'm always doing things that hurt.

I'm glad your blood results are good, but yikes!!

I suspect that cupcake crumbs are the least of a B&B's worries when it comes to weddings.

My favorite thing is to go to the British Museum and take breaks ordering their best bitter at the Museum Pub, which is about a block away.

I assume these are hairline fractures seeing as how you could do yardwork! You are made of strong stuff, woman.

Yeah, sometimes I don't understand his reasoning, but I just go with it. I'm fine with cake, as long as we can get a decent gluten-free one that looks pretty.

Good god! I'm glad he's giving you the good drugs.

Ginger, it is good to hear that your tests are encouraging. Yay for good drugs that help enable you to do some of the things you need to do as well as some that you enjoy.

Massive quantities of stress in the Holt household. House/Bank/Evil stuff that might have some kind of movement in some direction this week. It isn't in my nature to worry or stress out, but I am feeling it big time. I'm trying to channel it. I swam for an hour yesterday. Just hate this feeling of helplessness. Yuck.

I guess the hip fractures are hairline. The ribs were broken, but there's not much you can do about broken ribs. Two were pretty painful.

I think I'm just stubborn.

Stubborn works, too. So happy for all the good-as-it-can-be news!

Ugh. This saga is so evil, and has gone on for so long, that you are entitled to All The Stress, with heaping side dish of Raaaaaaage. I hope it gets sorted out soon.

Stubborn is good. Keep being stubborn!

When I was in London with Grandma E (we were there on a package tour) we had 2 1/2 days in London and everyone was trying to cram everything in. We decided to be picky. We went to the London Musuem and, it turned out, spend about 6 hours there. But they had a special exhibition for the Rosetta Stone about the whole history of it and it was really cool.

We also went to the Sherlock Holmes Museum. And took taxis instead of dealing with the underground or buses.
