It has been snowing again and I am frustrated by how
difficult it is to get out of the house. But at least yesterday and today I had
outings which, though exhausting, ended up positive: my first follow-up
examinations three months after completion of treatment for the bladder cancer
showed no evidence of disease.
Meanwhile, just to keep me on my toes, as we were trying to
leave the house early this morning I noticed an odd smell which, long story
short, turned out to be coming from my oxygen concentrator, which was actually
not functioning. It appears that there was some sort of meltdown in the
mechanism. Fortunately, I have plenty of cylinders and a portable oxygen
concentrator so I am using those until a new one will be delivered (after
numerous phone calls) later today. My mobility around the house is rather
limited with this portable equipment so I am anxious for the new one to be
delivered.
I have been keeping reasonably warm in this frigid weather wearing
the Canada Goose coat I bought a couple of months ago. It often seems to
happen that when you buy something you suddenly seem to see it everywhere, and
that is how it has been with this coat. Apparently, there is no shortage of
people in New York, both men and women, who are willing to spend a ridiculous
amount of money on a coat. In my case, it was helpful having a husband who was
determined to try to make me more comfortable to leave the house. Maybe I am
just seeing a lot of imitations, but this is New York City after all and people
are accustomed to spending a lot of money on things. I have to say that, so
far, it has proven its worth.
Stay warm!
Love,
Rebecca
