Cancer Vacation

Another short, worried stretch of “what is Lloyd up to” has produced the answer we love to hear: nothing.  Since a month before Christmas we have been in battle-station mode, and, as of yesterday, we are back to “never-mind.”  I need not go back for two months—which, at the moment, feels like a real treat. 

Great Camanoe Island
Dr. G. has advised me to take vacations.  Truly.  You could think of a lot of reasons why my brain cancer specialist would want me to go enjoy the world, but I’m focusing only on the positive ones.  He’s been encouraging us to go on trips ever since we first met him, and he liked the photos we sent him from the islands last month (they always ask for pictures and postcards).  Maybe it’s just being outside, walking, having something to look forward to, being excited and positive… I don’t know.  Regardless, it will be remarkably better than what I did LAST spring.   

Where should we go first? Well, I know where I haven’t been in years, where the waves are crashing at the beach just below our windows, and we still have a few friends.  The problem is: What do we do with the cats?  ;)

Love, Kristina (& Mark)

I'll be following with my book and hat.
