No News Just Yet
Hey All,
Chester had his six month MRI on Monday, and we were supposed to meet with Dr. Tang today to have a general check in and for him to read the MRI films. But he got called into an emergency surgery so Chester's appointment was postponed. We will be meeting with both of his oncologists on Friday and should get the full report then. Just wanted to let everyone know that we haven't received any new information just yet.
We just finished a lovely sushi feast with Jane and Dylan, both members of the team at The New School of Erotic Touch (Joseph Kramer's school). After once again testing the question of "is there such a thing as too much sushi?", we sat and talked for awhile and then Jane began looking through a couple of Chester's many big boxes of beautiful fabrics. She is the official Healthy Chester seamstress- creator of the monkey pants seen on this blog and some of Chester's favorite pillowcases. She took home a big bag of fabric and I'll be bringing more to the office tomorrow.
So begins the long process of gifting away some of Chester's belongings. As Jaime prepares the house for sale, we will be spending a lot of time up at Forest Lane this month packing up Chester's apartment and the studio. We'll together sort through his belongings, figuring out what to keep, what to gift away, and what to donate to thrift stores. A long and emotional process to be sure, but I'm glad Chester can actively participate in it and see that his belongings will find good new homes.
Off to bed soon. Another good day, complete with a beautiful therapy session with June and a great trip to Berkeley Bowl where we stocked up on fresh veggies and other nourishments. Chester's current favorite is a chopped salad made of baby bok choy and fresh anise root, dressed with buttermilk, mayo and mustard. We've made three batches this week and another will be prepared soon. I encourage him to follow his cravings, a good guide to what his body is needing for all the incredible work it is doing. And as we head into another round of chemotherapy, starting Monday, I am glad he is fueling up on sushi, greens, calamansi juice and chocolate covered cherries. All power foods in my book.
