Happy Birthday, Julie

Julie’s birthday was Sunday (Oct. 25th); she is handling the transition to “over 49” quite well and so far seems to be suffering no excessive side effects. She and Much Older Sister flew to Portland to spend the birthday weekend with Slightly Older Sister. Ikea, Goodwill, and Spanky’s Consignment Store were party central; in fact, Julie consented to tour Ikea in a wheelchair in order to conserve her strength for the other venues and for playing with the great-nephews. In retrospect, she would probably advise other wheel chair users not to allow an inexperienced push person to be their escort through a store like Ikea that is crowded with lots of turns, but fortunately none of the bumps turned into bruising. Also fortunately, by the weekend Julie’s flu had calmed to cold status and this week she continues to feel a little better every day.

Chimiothérapie Round 5 is Tuesday Nov. 3.
