It's the weekend, and my babe is gathering her resources for another week of treatment

More pain, and more pain-relief. A new prescription, which seems to help.

Earlier in the day, yesterday, we IM'd, exchanged pleasantries. Her son was there, and she said the pain and discomfort were enough that she neither had any desire to talk, nor did she have the energy.

Then, last night, 9 or 9:30 here (two hours earlier than where she lives) my Lila called. Her voice was faint, and she sounded like she was tired and in pain.

She said it was just to tell me she loves me. That hadn't happened in more than 6 weeks, and it made my night. I slept pretty well, too.

It only takes one of those every once in a while to boost the ol' morale back up to functional...
