Happy Mother's Day

Jerry's hair is starting to come back, just in time for more chemo. His first round was Thursday, and only took four hours, and he got to go back "home" the same day. I am now able to recognize the "chemo brain" that Nolie talks about. It takes Dad just a little longer to retrieve words, but he eventually does if you just give him time.

There is talk of a Mother's Day Meal at Jason's Deli today. I like the idea because it doesn't require me to wear anything that is dry clean only, and Dad likes the muffulettas. Before we eat though, we're going to go sit in the lobby so the Room Attendant can clean the room. We told her we'd be out at dos en punto, and I think it's funny that Nolie is learning what I have known for a long time, and that is that if you are speaking English to a non-English speaking person, then follow up with "do you understand," the response is often "yes" even when the real answer is no. The same apparently applies to asking chemo patients if they have to go to the bathroom before boarding the Cancer Van. The real answer is usually yes.
