Just Two Sessions Left


Field hockey was a bit of a disappointment for Judith this last week. She was only on for about five minutes and then had to ask the coach to take her off. To add salt to the wound their team narrowly lost by one goal.

On Friday she had her chemo - only two more to go after this. They started off by giving her a strong shot of some relaxant to prevent the rigors that she suffered the last time. This left Judith pretty dopey and sleepy so she did not provide much by way of entertainment while the infusions were going on even though Ingrid, Miriam, Mark and I were all there at some point over the four hours. The relaxant had the desired effect, and everything went without a hitch this time. Visitors had to entertain themselves...

Then at five o'clock I was down at Scarborough town centre bus station to pick up Stephen and his girlfriend, Heather. Steve has come in from Kingston, ON (Queen's University) to spend Thanksgiving weekend with us. I managed to get some pics of him and Heather on Friday night before Heather's mom arrived from Penetanguishene where they have a farm in the area.
