Wonderful time

Yesterday, for the first time in many months, I could honestly answer those asking after my health with an, "I feel great!" Except for the neuropathy (numbness) in my fingertips and toes and the pain in my feet connected to chemo, which is only really an issue when I start to walk, the rest of me is 100%.

I finally got my taste buds back, thank goodness, so when Sheila and Sheri took us out to the Merritt for dinner I really enjoyed every bite. This afternoon they are taking the boys out for a few hours, I'm sure they'll all have a lot of fun.

Yesterday the synagogue was packed for a friend's son's bar mitzvah - we haven't seen it so full since Avi's bar mitzvah. We saw lots of people we rarely see, and those we see each week we got to speak to for a longer time. There was a luncheon with great food and incredible desserts. I had a great time, and really for the first time in so long I felt (and feel) so positive about the rest of my treatment and recovery.
