Well, today marked Joyce’s 4th infusion of Trodelvy medication. There will be two more to complete this “cycle” before we find out if it has helped or not. There have been a few setbacks ( a couple of hospital visits ), but all in all Joyce has been feeling okay. Yesterday we celebrated 7 straight days of her feeling “good” the whole day. She has been able to head outside when the weather allows ( high temps and high dew points keep her inside ). 

We have seen progress as she gains strength in her legs. Since she had her implant in her right leg last year it has been pretty achey and weak. Her mobility has been kind of limited. Now, however, she is able to get around, at times without an assist of a cane or a walker. She has more strength to get up and down our steps to enter and leave the house. And she has been walking around outside more and more, at times, to Gary’s chagrin, alone with no escort. You know you let her out of your sight for five minutes and poof she’s off and galavanting.

    She was even feeling well enough the other day to do the trails here at Peaceful Pines. 

    That gave her the opportunity to assess the upkeep needs of them and an opportunity to get the mail. The emphasis here as far as the picture is concerned is that she needed the strength she has gained in her right leg to operate the gas and the brake on the Raven ( those of you who have visited Peaceful Pines know the hill she is on needs some strength to brake on the way down ).

    So, for now on our metaphorical sailing journey, we can say we are currently sailing on relatively calm seas, enjoying the peace of nature and looking forward to new rays of sunshine that greet us each morning.
