Our New Normal


As Sara posted yesterday, we reached a milestone yesterday completing radiation therapy.  Today was our first day without medical appointments or related activities.  We started on daily living taking into consideration our limitations on mobility and energy.  First on the agenda was a haircut

From there we made our way to the bank, 250 yards (meters), loading the walker and ourselves into the car to get there.  We needed our proof of life certificate notarized so we can collect pension money from Europe.

The notary was glad to see us and duly noted that we were alive so we motored on to the store for some shopping (nearly retracing the former 250 yards in the car).  Hot Rod tested the garden furniture while I picked up a few supplies.

Lunch followed at our local Italian restaurant and then a stop at Home Depot to buy a new washer and dryer.  We felt it was a very entertaining and rewarding day so contented naps were taken.

We are counting our blessings as we begin to see some good days in all of this.
