Sleeping well again

and able to eat quite a bit more. I've lost about 10 lbs. I think I should write to Ben, my plastic surgeon, and ask if it would be OK to begin exercising like I had been, since the reconstruction followed by weight loss might not be so smart.

I have altogether stopped taking pain medication. The pain I experienced after each Taxol infusion has ended. Thank goodness. That was awful.

My cold is drying up, but everyone in the house is still blowing their noses and coughing. Just residual stuff from a cold.

Jerry did join us for dinner on Friday night. He had a blast with the boys but I had to go to bed right after dinner and he stayed with them the whole evening.

On Saturday we had a few friends here and it was a very comfortable afternoon.

Today is gray and cold. I keep my colorful knit cap from Ellen nearby all the time because it gets me warmed up quickly.

I'm a big fan of the Oscars, and now that E is having a 2-hour red carpet event, I'll be watching tv from 2:30 until 9 or 10. I never watch TV, but this I love. (not the commercials, of course)
