Mystery Boxes
A rich, full day of heartful connection with Chester. Perhaps it is the lunar New Year (welcome fire dog!), or the new moon itself, or the coming of spring as marked by Candlemas yesterday, or any other number of fresh breaths in the air, but recently we have been feeling vital and alive, refreshed and more open. A lovely place to linger.
Today we were waiting on the delivery of the Temodar from the drug company. A delivery arrived at about 1 in the afternoon. We sat in awe of receiving such a gift as a free delivery of medicine, (free shipping too!!) and took deep breaths as we opened the box. Much to our amusement and surprise, the box had a different kind of pill. It was the shipment of probiotics that Chester had ordered just yesterday. $50 supplements rather than $3000 chemotherapy.
Several hours later, the chemotherapy pills did arrive, in a much less climactic delivery. So now Chester is all set for his next round of treatment, which will begin on Monday.
We also have an intake interview for Social Security Disability set up for next Friday, which feels very good. With the help of our wonderful social worker at the Cancer Center, we have really got the ball rolling with getting Chester hooked up with public aid programs. A big relief and were going to navigate the system as best we can together.
We are looking forward to a sweet and relaxed weekend. Tomorrow morning we are planning on taking a trip to "Ranch 99", a big asian grocery store in Richmond. Chester is especially excited about some juices and lychees and daifuku.
On to bed, it is way past bedtime!
