I learned on June 4 that I had a normal mammogram ending over 6 months of treatment for Stage II breast cancer. Although this is great news, I will have to be vigilant for the rest of my life but partially for the next five years. This will initially include mammograms ever three months then every six months. It also includes more rigorous attention to diet and exercise.
LuLu
LuLu continues to enjoy her life. I was asked if I believed in reincarnation, how I would like to be returned . I said I would like to be my cat (except I do not like the food). She has two staff to wait on her hand to paw, gets her meals presented to her on a silver platter and sleeps 18 hours a day.
Taking Care of Yourself
I am continuing with my exercise routine and attention to diet. I am not taking as many long naps-reducing them to 1-1/2 to 2 hours rather than three hours every other day. I do like to stay up and watch the Daily Show with Jon Stewart so we do get to bed late and I am usually up by 8:00 a.m.
Exploring
We love the MSU summer Circle Theater. They run to three weeks in the summer on the banks of the Red Cedar River. The first play was Plaza Suite by Neil Simon, directed by Anne Levy. This was familiar play which suites the summer theater format. We also saw Leading Ladies by Ken Ludwig, directed by Sam O’Neill. This was an English farce with a lot of excitement and comedy.
Giving Back
Alan continues to do a lot of volunteer driving for Department of Human Services and I continue to work on East Lansing women club activities.
