James’ post: The last two days have been a bit of a blur for Stine. Yesterday we had a nice cake (thanks Mom and Deena!) and Benjamin cooked dinner. He is also cooking for us tonight- maybe a chef in the making!

Today, Stine was full cyborg. She had a flashing implant on her arm, plus a hose coming out (her PICC line). I should have taken a picture as she looked like she was getting ready to be incorporated into the Borg collective. Neuropathy is up a little bit- the bird finger has made its reappearance. We had two nice walks today, the first one without Chess as he decided it was far more comfortable to stay in bed with Benjamin.

If the previous cycle trends hold, tomorrow will be a bit better but the mouth sores and red fingers will begin.

We have begun planning for a camping trip in between her CT scan and laparoscopy. Hoping to get out for maybe 3-5 days into the Sierras, assuming CA opens up. It will sure be nice to get out of the house, so even doing the planning is enjoyable.
