Moving forward with treatment is a good sign in all this. Usually they don't treat in the context of open wounds. And they wouldn't treat if they thought she was too frail.

Another good sign is she's sleeping in her own apartment tonight. It'll be a lot easier for me if she is in her own place.

Oh Burrell!

Wha? Eek!

Theo's reaction was mine, but thanks for explaining Jesse.

Wishes for the best outcomes, all around, to everyone. I just caught up on a whole lot of posts, so I've sent out a lot of positive vibes out to the Universe. Jesse & parents, Burrell & sister, ita !... see, I shouldn't try to list when I'm catching up on so much.

Also,

"As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly!!!

will never not be funny.

Oh wow, Burrell. That sounds hard. I'm glad things are seeming as positive as they could.

Brenda, that's a scary-looking picture you posted on Facebook. I hope everything's OK.

Burrell, lots of ~ma for your sister that the treatent will do what it is supposed to do while harming the rest of her as little as possible.

It's storming here, it's 73 in my house, it's grey and it smells GORGEOUS!

LOVE.

It's nice, I intend to enjoy it while it lasts. A hummingbird is sitting at my feeder, waiting out the rain.

Much treatment~ma for your sister, Burrell.

Jesse, I hope things work out as well as possible for your parents.

Best possible outcomes wishes.

Burrell, my friend started chemo about 6 weeks ago. She has many troublesome complications and it was difficult to feel hopeful. But she is doing so much better than anticipated. She is still a 97 pound weakling (my nickname for her), but her tumors are absolutely shrinking and she hasn't had any serious side effects. Cancer sucks and there is still a whole lot of science that needs to happen for real solutions, but the treatments have improved significantly.

I sincerely hope that your sister's treatment is effective and that it brings her relief.
