Good news! Sherryl learned today that the results of the MRI conducted last week are good. Nancy told Sherryl that nothing appeared on the MRI. Sherryl's left hand and arm are still swollen due to edema, so Sherryl will begin physical therapy on Tuesday as planned. Frequency of physical therapy visits is not yet determined. Sherryl's next appointment with Nancy is October 3; she'll learn the latest tumor marker then.
RaRa is in rare form these days. When asked what else Nancy had to say, RaRa replied, "She said, 'Bye, take care!' "
It's really amazing how far Sherryl has come in a year. This time last year, she was so weak she could hardly walk down the hallway of her home. But she continued to push herself and rebuild her strength with each step she took. Much credit is due to Sherryl for her perseverance and for her resilient attitude.
As those who frequent Day Care know, artist Mary Engelbreit is a favorite of Sherryl's. Here is a great quote from Ms. Engelbreit that is very representative of Sherryl's attitude.
"If you don't like something change it; if you can't change it, change the way you think about it." ~Mary Engelbreit
Happy Autumn, everyone!
What a great day!!
I'm sure you felt the huge collective sigh of relief from all of us. Was waiting for the results and am so so happy with the outcome.
Arlene has kept us all so well informed - I'm sure she was ecstatic to post this news.
Thinking of you...
Love Janet
