Silver Mama

This is the face of a woman who just got a senior citizen discount! Women who are residents and over 55 get a jubliada (retired person) discount on many things in Panama. One being entrance into forest preserves.

It did include wearing this bright yellow wristband. Non jubliados like Jeff just got white ones. I’d like to believe in a natural disaster they use the bright yellow to know who to rescue first.

My discount was an entire dollar. Yes one dollar off. Jeff is not a senior citizen yet. Even though we are the same age men don’t get the discount until age 60. This is why I’m Jeff’s silver mama. Not able to support him like a sugar mama but at least can save us money.

Jeff’s pretty happy about that discount.

At this rate only need to go a few thousand times to get this residency visa to pay for itself.

I was super tired on this hike. It made me realize I’m getting stronger everyday but still regaining strength.

The only wildlife we saw were catapillers.

When we got home we realized why we didn’t see any sloths. Sven was on a conference call with all the Panamanian sloths. They were planning their next meet up.

Bad Hair Day

I am thrilled to still have hair, and happy with my new haircut. But, it is not a get up and go hairdo.

This is what my hair looks like every morning, after brushing it.

Today Sven asked to style it for me. He still is considering a new career as a hair stylist.

He started by straightening it. As a sloth he really took his time and worked slowly.

He suggested some sloth fur products but agreed to use some of my hair products.

He was surprised I had so many. After much time styling and a few naps since he is a sloth he was finished.

Fish heads

We started the day at an art museum. When we got there a group of people were doing the hokey pokey.

After the museum we went to Veragrus which is the nearest beach to Panama City. It’s not the greatest beach but there are restaurants that line the beach which make for a fun Sunday lunch.

Jeff had chicken. I had a piece of fish but Rolf and Samuel had entire fish including the heads.

But it was a fun day and I’m feeling back to myself!!

Cocktails

I love that I don’t even know how to title a blog post now!

Today we went walking and I felt pretty darn good. Samuel and Rolf are over for dinner. They brought over the makings for passion fruit and champagne drinks.

Super delicious.

100% complete!!!!!!

Cheers to all of us, me, Jeff, Sven and every single one of you that has been on this ride with us.

There is a saying in the cancer community “No one fights alone.” That is so incredibly true. There is no way we could have gotten through this so well without all your support.

Thank you!!!! Your love, caring and support has been everything to us.

I saw my doctor today and he has switched me from active treatment to followup. I don’t see him again until Sept.

While I really like him. I’m happy to not see him again for three months.

I’ve become addicted to blogging so I’ll keep updating this blog, probably not everyday but still a lot. Sven will want to update you on what he’s up to.

Thank you all so so much!!!❤❤❤

We love you!!!!

W4 Day 28

I went for my hopefully last monthly blood draw today

Tomorrow I’ll see my Wasabi doctor and then if he gives the ok I’ll be DONE! Then I’ll go to blood work and checkups every three months.

W4 Day 27

I received these amazing sloth socks. They are for me but Sven asked if he could wear then as leggings. I agreed but only for today.

Sven is thinking he may try his hand at modeling and try out for “Panama’s Next Top Sloth Model.”

W4 Day 26

Today we went out to lunch to a restaurant called Todo Avacado. My salad was really good. It was pretty normal with avocado on top.

Jeff’s was good to but a little more unusual. He got a hamburger that came in an avocado vs a bun.

I’m feeling good. I’m still more tired than usual but every day I have a bit more energy.

W4 Day 25

Last night Rolf and Samuel had us over for dinner.

As usual they made us an amazing dinner. Steak with an onion sauce, potatoes and salad.

Honestly by the time dessert rolled around the wine had gone to my head. So I don’t remember what this was. I am such a light weight now with alcohol which is a good thing.

There was ice cream, a sauce and a fruit I had never tried before.
