Di, do you live near cornfields? My great grandma that suffered from dementia was constantly wandering into the cornfields.

Mom did some memory recovery activities after her chemo, and I will say that for the first time in about 15 years, she remembered to defrost the turkey for Thanksgiving.

I guess you could look at it as you were going to end up a crazy old lady anyways. (And hey, I can smell my own) Now you're certified!

So Di, one part of your brain is Demented. That's not bad. The rest of your brain, then, is not demented. I am not surprised you scored so highly on the language bit. Who cares about the other stuff. Your thinking and feeling bits seem pretty intact to me.

Love you xxx

Aw, I will take your kitties if you don't want them!

I should have known Thor would be a hellion from the start...when I first saw him, he was hanging by his claws from the top of the cage my cousin kept them in at night! But I put the cat carrier on the ground, and he was the first one inside. I now realize that this was only a harbinger that whenever any kind of door is open, he is inside like a flash. He's even figured out how to open cabinet doors by himself! I'll hear him whining every once in a while, only to find he's gotten himself in the cabinet under the sink and can't get out, the stupid little [email protected]#$.

But I love the stupid little [email protected]#$. Even the way he insists on me picking him and holding him like a baby EVERY time I use the restroom. He's banned from the bedroom at bedtime for now, though, but he loves to wake me up at 6:30 am, on the nose, so he can be fed.

Yeah, Mom had to do these computer things to help with memory, I think she went for about 8 weeks. What I don't understand is how the woman can knit and crochet ridiculously good even with her [email protected]#$ memory, but forgets the simplest things all the time.

She might have to go again, since she'll be doing chemo again soon.

Yes, sometimes Happy Jack even lets Thor groom him. It's the most adorable thing EVER.

It's hard to talk about Mom. It's not good that there were cancerous cells found during a surgery, but basically the surgeon fucked it up in every way possible because he did not have clear margins. It's just...not good.

Dad is considering a lawsuit because of the lack of cancer protocol. Whether it moves forward remains to be seen.

Mom's definitely a fighter, but she's been very worn down by the first bout with chemo, and it's only gotten worse because she's continued to work the long hours in surgery, making the pain in her feet unbearable for her at times. She's had to keep working to keep insurance because Dad is a private contractor.

She has an appointment at Northwestern next week, and that will hopefully yield a more positive second opinion, or a chance at some kind of trial.

It wasn't the merriest Christmas we've ever had.
