Hi Nancy,

 NB>  NB>> doesn't bounce back as fast as it used to... but she's doing ok.

 RH> Do any of us bounce back as fast as we used to? Good to hear that
 RH> your mom is doing so well tho.

 NB> I'm certainly not as resilient as I used to be, for sure... :)

I've felt it more in the last few years. The radiation oncologist said
I'd probably always have residual fatigue issues and he's been right.


 NB>  NB>> She had her follow-up with the surgeon, and he was quite pleased

 RH> That's very encouraging; it's always good when the doctor is pleased

 NB> That should help his mind stay active and agile, too..  :)  Is he

 NB> now...?

He's there permanently now. Too many hoops to jump thru to have him at
home any more. It could be done, but he's got much better care now than
he would get if he were at home.

 NB>  RH>> I see them at the farmer's market in late October, early

 NB>  NB>> Probably a different variety... and fresher...  :)

 RH> Could be, I'll have to ask if it's a NC specific variety when I see

 NB> If you remember...  ;)

True. I won't see the vendor this week but may try to remember next
week. Also depends if there are others needing her time/attention when
I'm getting my produce. She's popular as she's got a good variety of
stuff, and well cleaned too.
