Michele really made the most of her first night home - went to sleep at 9pm, and woke up at 10am! Wow! I guess she really needed that! Her pain level is manageable and she is relatively comfortable, albeit a bit shakey on her feet still. A walker is being brought in, and since she's spending most of the time downstairs now, that should be a big help.
The main kitchen re-modelling work has been completed and the lady of the house declares her new kitchen "wonderful!" She's apparently getting pampered by her grandson Keith today, and is looking forward to a quiet dinner and a movie tonight.
The road ahead: More doctor visits and consultations are on the plate for next week, but the general consensus is that Michele will start a 6 week course of oral chemotherapy, and half way through that, she'll also start radiation therapy. Both types of treatments are expected to be a drain on her energy levels, so Michele was advised to build up her strength and energy reserves slowly over the next couple of weeks.
She hasn't seen this blog for a couple of days,...but tomorrow, she plans to look at her laptop. So, you friends out there....don't forget to leave her a note here. Her email inbox is probably busting at the seams....so please give her some time to get to yours, if you've written one to her. - Mae

Glad to hear you're home and soon to be surfing again. We're thinking of you as we hoof it around the museums in D.C. on Spring Break.
