“Want to split a beer?” Peter asked me last night. It’s been a long time since I’ve heard that question! Beer has been off-limits since Peter began associating it with painful gout attacks, but his blood work was quite good this week and the ol’ uric acid level was low, so he took the chance, and I’ve heard no regrets from him today.
His five days of chemo ended Sunday, and he began to feel better immediately. He’s been driving himself here and there, including to the oncologist’s office, where Dr. Vrana gave him a stamp of approval, and to the nephrologist, who was pleased with his blood test results.
Peter is taking at least one brisk half-hour walk per day, and I’m having to hustle to keep up. Tomorrow we get an early start for Charleston, where we’ll stay with good friend Mary for a few days. We’re looking forward to a walk on the beach if it’s not too cold and windy, and a visit to Charleston’s wonderful downtown Saturday market.
After weeks of occasionally hair-raising bluebird drama, I believe we’ve been honored by two of them finally making a nest in one of our boxes. Soon we will hear the cheeping of little chicks and witness the parents coping with the exhausting demands of parenthood. It’s been several years since the bluebirds favored us in this way, and it adds to the general merriment of this especially beautiful Spring.
