Even though our apartment in Kensington is cozy and perfect for our time in Calgary, it was wonderful to get home for the weekend.  Coming into Sundre, I don't remember ever having so much snow.  But we arrived home to our road ploughed, sidewalk and driveway shoveled clear, and evidence of an elf infestation in the house: wreaths, Christmas florals, decorations, and gifts!  We are so blessed with such great friends!
So for the 7 RT (out of 30) treatments have gone smooth.  The first day I did acute nausea and vomiting after the treatment, because I figured I wouldn't need the Stemetil before treatment and I didn't have anything to eat right after treatment which had been advised.  I did that only once!
Some fatigue / poor stamina are the main side effects, and the ongoing frustrating anomia aphasia - although Di tells me I'm improving, but she has to proof read my emails before I send them!
We are planning to stay with the kids in Edmonton Dec 25 and 26.  Christmas will be a wonderful time.
May the approaching light of the new year shine on a better year in 2014!
All the best,
Hal
