Now that Julia is
finally “trained,” we try when we take her out to provide frequent reminders to
use the restroom. When we took Julia and Ella to the circus a couple of weeks
ago, one of the first things we did was use the bathroom. Because the Big Apple
Circus sets up their huge tent in a parking lot, they provide a bunch of
portable toilets for use of the attendees. Julia was quite fascinated with the
porta-potties, so she asked to go another three times during the performance. We
know better than to ever say no to such a request from a recently trained
child. But Barry discovered her fascination when he took her: she was amazed at
the idea that she could look down that hole and see everyone’s waste.
I knew that she went
rather frequently that day but Barry never told me why until he happened to
mention it to some friends. All I know is that those Big Apple Circus tickets
were a pretty expensive way for her to have this opportunity!
We had quite an amazing
coincidence yesterday. We were over at MSKCC for my follow-up visit with the
radiation oncologist who oversaw my treatment, the one who had some years ago
been one of Barry’s students. As we were leaving the building to head to the
car, who walks right by but our friends Ava and Jason! Ava is now doing a radiation
oncology rotation at MSKCC so I suppose this was not entirely unexpected, but what
are the odds that we would both be walking along the same street at the very
some moment? We chatted for a while before heading our separate ways but it was
a wonderful surprise.
This morning I had my
cystoscopy with Dr. Bochner. I will share the results once we have them. It is a
magnificently beautiful day here in New York, so we stopped briefly for an
outdoor lunch before heading home. Now I am exhausted!
Enjoy the great
weather!
Love,
Rebecca
