Today was a good day of resting and reading. Sven and Sergio made us smoothies for lunch. We had to stop them before they added leaves.

Cancer free day 26
Jeff and I went out to lunch today. It required hours of resting before we went and after we got back but it was so worth it.
It felt great to be out in the world. By the end of lunch I was a bit slumped over. Good thing we were the only patrons.
Cancer free day 25
My friend Nancy sent me this graph which is such a great way to explain my recovery. It’s going in the right direction, but its so up and down. Today was a good day, but one of sitting up then having to lie down to regain my strength from sitting up.
In other new, yesterday was International Sloth day. Sven and Sergio didn’t get to celebrate because they were busy taking care of me. But their brother Rodrigo in Seattle sent pictures of him living his best sloth life.
Cancer free day 24
This picture is from yesterday when Laura took me to a coffee shop. It felt great to actually be out in the world. I only walked about 10 steps from car to table and we only stayed and hour but it was great.
Today has been the opposite. Ive been exhausted and tired. It seems like one day I’m pretty good and the next even more exhausted than normal. So, hopefully this means tomorrow will ve a good day.
Cancer free day 23
Today I was lucky enough to see my friend Robin. She lives in the Bay area and drove up to see me. I had been delaying her visit since it took so long to feel like I could have visitors, although I think she spent more time driving than visiting since I still get tired so fast.
It was so great to see her! We’ve been friends since Freshman year in high school and she has been amazing support during all this cancer stuff.
Cancer free day 22
Today we were lucky enough to see our friends Kim and Deb. They are in town visiting Kim’s family and were able to stop by. We were able to sit outside in the courtyard and I even remembered to take my jacket when I left.
It was also lucky that today was one of my good days. For some reason it’s an every other day thing. One day I feel good and strong then the next day not so much. We’ll see how tomorrow goes.
Cancer free day 21
Today I felt tired but still did my walking and resting. Sven and Sergio sampled the leaves at the new Air Bnb. Sergio is demanding bling which is why he’s wearing a necklace.
Cancer free Day 20
TodayvI made food progress on walking. This morning Jeff and I went up and down the stairs to sit in the courtyard. It was cold but then warmed up.
In the evening I went up and down the stairs again with Laura, to sit in the courtyard. I saw a jacket and thought what a shame that someone left it. Then I realized it was mine. I had left it down there in the morning.
Cancer free day 19
I know this picture looks like all the others ones, but it’s taken in our new Air BnB. Due to the infection, we extended our stay. Our original Air BnB didn’t have availabilty, so we moved to a new one.
Jeff packed all our suitcases, loaded the car, drove to Laura’s where we hung out between checkout and checkin. Then he unloaded all the suitcases and got them to our new Air BnB.
All I had to do was walk from the car, but of course I’m the one complaining about how tired I am.
Cancer free Day 18
Today was my 2nd day fever free. So hopefully the infection is gone.
Sven and Sergio are on temperature duty so they make sure I’m checking regularly. I was able to walk a little bit further and sit up for a little longer today so that was good.
