Nothing to do but weight
I went off to Vanier this morning to attend a couple of meetings. When I called home at 11:00, Gilly proudly reported that he had just finished breakfast and was busy lifting weights. I was pleased to hear his cheery voice, and so I took the opportunity to complete a few tasks before heading home.
The afternoon was rough for Gilly. He felt weak, and this condition lasted through to this evening. He is aware that the effects of radiation are far reaching, but he hungers for more energy (and of course better vision). I’m guessing that the feeling of weakness may be a result of lifting weights. Today was the first time he worked out in earnest. If so, it’s a ‘good’ weakness, and daily workouts will slowly help to build his muscles and strength. They are light (2 lbs. each) in comparison to the hedge trimmer he held yesterday for at least ½ hour. It may be the combination of yesterday’s exertion and today’s work out.
There have been a number of offers from friends and family to visit Gilly over the past few days. He has not been that keen to accept. It’s a great idea to call first to ensure he’s up to receiving guests.
Yaron is off babysitting for Tamara’s kitten for 3 days while she’s on a 3 day trip with her students. We’re being slowly weaned from our son, who’s off to camp late next week for the summer. Lucky we have Liylah to make a little bit of noise as she prowls around the house now and again.
All is well in that there is nothing all that new to report. It will take time to repair from the treatment, and so we must be patient and at all costs remain hopeful.
