An
uneventful week as far as recovery goes.
On Friday Cindy had a follow-up appointment with the radiation
folks. They were pleased with the
recovery from the radiation related effects, were satisfied that she was eating
enough and again encouraged a fulsome diet.
Since Cindy was done with stomach
tubes and Ensure cartons, the puzzle was what to do with a three week leftover
supply and various tubes, gauze and containers.
BioScrip doesn’t take them back so we contributed them to Cornerstones,
a local nonprofit providing food, shelter and services to those in need.
On Wednesday, we joined a gaggle of
other seniors for a Reston Community Center trip to Tangier Island in the
Chesapeake Bay. Hour and a half ferry
ride each way, three hours on the island, a forgettable group lunch. The attraction is the isolated community, the
local accent, economy based on crabs and the islanders’ wistfulness about the parts
of the island that sea-level rise has already inundated.
