Yikes. I hope the chemo goes well, Nick.
I once managed to worm my way in to see my mother's brainscan when she was having one done (she'd been feeling dizzy & off-balance). They technically weren't supposed to let other people in the trailer where they did it, but since I pushed her wheelchair and asked nicely, they let me. She has a wrinkly brain. My father was disappointed that he didn't ask to see it because he wanted to joke that there was nothing there. Plus he would have really found it fascinating.
Had a neighborhood guy come over and ask if I'd seen his missing dog. I said I'd keep a look out for it. If it went anywhere near my nearest neighbor's it's probably dead though.
Mom twisted her knee the other day and wouldn't get up to go eat in the living room (we always eat in the living room rather than the kitchen). So I brought her food in bed. She woke me up around 4am or so because her internet stopped working. Today I got her to get up and go to the living room (while I ran interference with cats). I got her to try a new frozen meal- beef with portabella mushrooms & some sauce with broccoli. Very small portions. She liked the broccoli but said the mushrooms didn't taste right & the beef was meh. So, it's one marked off the list of options. The side I made worked out though. Bird's Eye frozen asparagus spears. They weren't bad steamed in the microwave with some seasoning added afterward. I prefer baked asparagus with sea salt and olive oil. But, she liked it well enough that it is on the list for re-purchase.
