Some calm

What? A week with no medical appointments? Well, almost.

Monday night a few of us went to a Grizzlies hockey game. After the last time I took the kids, Rory mentioned that she would like to go to a game, too. So we took advantage of Colton being scheduled to work, and this time our 4-ticket book included Rory. Afterwards she admitted that she didn't really know what was going on (at all) during the game, but it was good to be out. Moving slow is good, right? At least there's movement? :)

Most of the rest of the week found Rory resting in bed. I presume that Week 2 was the main driver behind the fatigue, so once again we all hope that next week (no chemo) includes higher energy levels.

Friday morning the palliative care social worker came and led a little discussion session with all of us, including the kids. Keep hoping that these "prompts" will eventually lead to questions and emotional processing and all of that. It was a good discussion, but it seemed like we still walked away with "When you have questions, the door is open" as the main summary. The kids did get an assignment to come up with a list of activities they want to do with Rory, either 1-on-1 or as a family.

That really was pretty much it for this week. The following one more than makes up for the lack of appointments this past week, plus dad is having surgery. I'm guessing all of us will be tired by the end of it all!
