Living upward

I didn't expect to do it, but I actually walked my second half-mile with Steve tonight - and Brix and Demi.  I can push my walker with both hands now so I feel more stable in spite of the horrendous pathologic fracture of my left humerus. I don't get tired at that distance, but if I did I could turn the walker around (we call it Mom's stroller) because there's comfortable seating on the opposite side.

I'm either getting stronger (from the 14th blood transfusion, or the chemotherapy or simply from walking more.  It's only my arm that hurts - badly - but morphine helps.  Also, I had radiation to that area right after the fracture, so it's fairly dead to pain.

Number One son landed his first real legal job.  He passed and was admitted to the bar a month ago and now he's clerk to the Chief Justice of the Hawaii Supreme Court.  I guess if you want a legal career there's no harm in beginning at the top. We're all feeling very proud. It's just about the only suit and tie job on Oahu, everyone else wears aloha shirts.  Me, I wear crops.
