Out of whack

 Anne got a call today from her oncologist's P.A. telling her that the blood test came back showing that some of her mineral levels were low. So, instead of checking in tomorrow for an all-day chemo treatment she'll be going to the infusion clinic for hydration and to boost those minerals back up. (I think these are generally referred to as "electrolytes").

 This didn't come as any surprise, considering what she'd been through for the last three days. Anne's been drinking plenty of water, knowing that the diarrhea was dehydrating her, and eating yogurt but this wasn't enough to offset the loss of these nutrients.

 Tonight, for dinner, she made a truly delicious squash and cheese soup. Her idea is that this will help tighten things up. I told her that it was so good she could make it any time and didn't need a "special occasion" to fix it!

 After hearing about all the repairs that Cheeze and Dan are getting done, I'm only more convinced that things worked out this way for a reason. Hopefully, they're on the mend by now and will be able to come for a visit later. Anne and I send our best wishes for a speedy recovery!

 Take care of yourselves and treat yourselves with love and compassion.
Don and Anne


PS
Congratulations to Nancy on her promotion!
