Things are getting fairly stable around these parts again. Touch wood! My son is back to school today after being a bit wary of going back after what has happened. His friend who was driving and has the accident can't yet cope with the idea of going back to school, poor lad.
My partner is a bit better about chemo and seems to be managing it better than the last time. We had a great long chat to another oncologist today which brought out a few realisations. One of them was that my partner has been on a treatment programme since the time that her tumour was removed. She had not realised that this was the case and thought that the programme she was on now was related to the operation to put in the shunt. She did not realise that all had been organised from ground zero.
It is getting warmer here and spring is starting to happen. My partner does things around the house, goes for walks and has helped with meals here and there. She gets hung up about not being able to cook. I commented to her tonight, "Geez some real blokes nevers learneds tooz cooks so don't chuz worry abouts cookins yerselveses luvs!"
She gets about with friends and family during the day and is slowly getting used to the scope of what she is now capable of. Things that she once did and once had the capability of but now can't or no longer are needed seem to be fading into the past slowly. Maybe the ache of having lost those things from her life will fade too.
