Insert Clever Title Here

That's about the best I can come up with, title-wise. Sorry.

We had a pretty good day today. Mom met with the physical therapist this morning and got some "homework" as she likes to call it: Walking laps around the house. Dragging my dad behind her. She's moving well and not having much trouble outside of some lingering weakness from being in the hospital. The physical therapist will be coming around once a week, I believe, to work with Mom. We'll see how it goes and how much strength she can get back prior to starting her chemotherapy.

Radiation was a no-go today. We were waiting in the waiting room at the Edwards Cancer Center and after a while, the assistant who helps Mom get back to the treatment room came out and said that the machine was down. They were trying to contact an engineer to have it repaired, but in any event, we wouldn't be getting a treatment today. They will add this treatment on to the end of the current regimen, so she still gets the fourteen she is owed, but a day later. It was nice to get outside, however. Mom likes to get out whenever she can and so far the daily trips to radiation have been it. We'll give it another go tomorrow.

Mom and Dad got some good food tonight courtesy of the fine folks at ESC Region XI (where Mom works). They really enjoyed the tamales, so thank you. It is a huge help right now not having to worry about dinner plans. Again, thank you very much.

Mom's beginning to get a bit hair-challenged, which is a politically correct way of saying that her hair is beginning to fall out as a result of the radiation. So far, she's been a trooper, though, and keeping her need to look "cute" to a minimum. We have some solutions to that on the way from Lubbock, so that is good.

Even though the days sort of run together now, at least tomorrow is Friday. For whatever that is worth.
