Just Checking In


Hi all! Nothing new to report but thought I would check in to keep the readers happy. I'm probably at 80% Trela-power these days, by 8pm or so I'm pretty tired, but I've been able to do a few things during the day. Extensive gardening is still out, but I can do a bit at a time and feel like I've accomplished something. I haven't driven since surgery but my little Volvo seems relieved that I'm not putting many miles on it these days! A little bit of Tylenol sees me through the day and I'm very happy to be off of the more intensive pain killers which seemed to have had an amnesiatic (is that a word?) effect on me. I definitely think I had surgery last week... lost about 9 days in there somewhere.

Anyway, above is the aforementioned "Superdawg" which my oncologist and I bonded while discussing (why I felt more comfortable with a man because he had seen giant hot dogs on the roof of a building is still unclear...). A great friend of mine from early elementary school sent me a magnet of the place. Thanks, Marianne! Made me grin.

Thanks for the continuous comments, emails, and cards! It's like Christmas all of the time! - Carpe diem - Trela
