Day 33, Magic Number 9. This will be the last full week of radiation, and it looks as though the last day of radiation will be Thursday, February 21. So close!
Mary and Panos were here this weekend, bringing food and moral support and willing hands from Charleston. As usual for Peter lately, yesterday (Sunday) was a good day, and the weather allowed us all to be outside. Peter and Mary, the master gardener, tackled some early Spring projects; they cleaned out the flower beds and Peter pruned the roses. We ate well, thanks to Mary, and I was hoping Peter would take a walk or two with us, but his gout is still bothering him. Today the gout was much improved, however, and he can wear shoes again. Peter really is eating better this week; Saturday he had two pieces of Mary’s pecan pie.
Peter’s sister, Lis, was planning to drive out today and take him to his appointment, but she had to turn around and go back home because the weather was so bad; it was raining very hard, visibility was nil, and there were car wrecks all over the place. She’ll try again Wednesday.
There are signs of Spring everywhere in Athens: trees are flowering already, and the jonquils are coming up. This might be another one of those Winterless years, but it’s too soon to make a prediction like that. We all know what can happen here in March.
