Well, yes I can......but we won't go there. It seems that I am moving the the wind of a tornado and I so crave the vortex. A void of spinning. All mary's family have been in...for the one hand it is good...on the other....Mary just needs quiet and rest. So I tore apart the yoga room....set up the TV & I bought in November but never set up....Moved the double bed into the corner and wha la....we have a respite for visitors. When Mary says she is tired....a place to go to give her quiet instead of folks sitting downstairs and watching the big TV. I'm on the couch tonight as Al, Mary's dad was at the motel at the end of the block but it was too cold to tolerate so he is sleeping in our bed upstairs and larry/cindy in the yoga room.
I've fit two weeks of work into a 17 hour day on Tuesday and as much as I could manage the last few days. Can't wait to hit the couch. One of the hardest things it not being able to touch Mary as we sleep. Tonight I laid on her hospital bed as she sat up to take her chemo....a pillow on my stomach and her leaning her full weight on me to be conforitable as she sat. It is hard for her to sit up without support. I was lovely to be so close and to curl my body around her back as she fought to keep the chemo down. She has alot of nausea which is not surprising. They did tell us the first two weeks would be a bear. I've fought with insurance companies today and yelled at everyone to use hand sanitizer....
Pearl walked on my side as I supported mary and wrapped her tail around mary's neck and back . I think she misses us too...She is the best cat. She is here next to me and managed to jsut fall off the book case just now. I'm sure our downstairs tenents are overf us dropping things as it happens more times than not. I think I'll move the massage table downstairs and put my camping sleeping mat on it so that I can lay next to Mary sometimes and just hold her a bit. I've developed a systems involving pillows between us so it support my arm and puts no pressure on her body but yet she knows I'm there. We'll see.
Well, I'm off to bed/couch/pearl on my side. I love you xo lg

Hi LG,
I just want to you how much we love you....how much we are thinking about you and praying during this time. I know we are far away, but if there is anything at all we can do for you today, tomorrow, or down the road, please let us know. We love you both so much.
Steph
LG - It seems as though your love for Mary and family IS you yoga. Hence, freedom to take down the 'yoga room.' Wise move wise lady :-)
May Peace carry you through.
Hi LG;
You and Mary are constantly in my thoughts and I continue to say the prayer that you sent to us. Phyllis, Chris, and I would very much like to be able to help out in some way that would be comfortable for you and Mary. Sit with Mary, run any needed errands, whatever is needed. We just need for you to let us know what we can do. Love you both.
Robbie
Hi LG
Robbie is right, we want you to know that we love you both so much. I pray every day also. Did you know one of my favorite things to do is to shop, groceries, other stuff.
Cats know who loves them and share their love like no other creature.
Phyllis
