Chemo #3

Chemo #3 today. This is the first we've been able to manage at the prescribed interval...2 weeks after the last.

Law school chum Laurie Lyons is in town for a week, and will act as chemo buddy today. Laurie arrived yesterday and will stay until Saturday. We spent yesterday afternoon looking at photos that Laurie brought. Mostly the law school years in California...some I had never seen before. Very cool. What a BEAUTY....I married very well!

Thanks to all for the hobby suggestions. Speaking of hobbies, we just finished work on the MJ quilt. The quilt was spearheaded by Nan Elligator and Kristin Tsapis...and we all chipped in. Some of us learning how to sew for the first time ever (not mentioning any names). The quilt is composed of felted squares cut from wool sweaters (mostly sweaters past their prime, but maybe a couple of current ones too). Take a look:


Not bad eh?

Eager to see what this week is like after the chemo. We'll keep you posted.

  1. Beautiful quilt all you sew-ers. And so light and warm (I experienced it when I was there). May the chemo go well, and kick out those tumors. Love, Pola

  2. Gorgeous quilt. Love it. Thinking that it will be a good occupation when the Academy isn't calling. Not surprised that early shots of MJ were stunning... slight evidence of that even today ;-). Hugs to all of you

  4. I had the pleasure of an afternoon visit with MJ and Jonathon today. I am inspired by their spirit and palpable love for one another. Found MJ relaxing on the couch, swaddled in said quilt.
