I spent some time with Mom today and I will say that she was doing better than usual from a lucidity standpoint. She and I talked and had several good conversations, all with her making pretty good sense. Was she normal? No, but it was much improved over Monday.

This might just be one of those "good days" that you get every once in a while dealing with this situation. It's hard to say.

We are still planning on starting the new chemotherapy on Monday, March 1st. Mom reiterated to me today that she still wants to do that, provided it doesn't make her feel miserable. She agreed with me that we would just have to wait and see how it goes.

I can't imagine what it must be like knowing that you want to say something, having a thought or idea, and not being able to articulate it. Mom experiences that to some degree every day. I believe that the ideas and thoughts are in there, and I (and Dad) just have to work some to get them out.

Well, "good day" or not, we'll take it.
