Tuesday, and the boy is pretty darned good!

It's Tuesday afternoon, and this brief little post is just to cheer up the team.

Bill is MUCH better. No nausea, no specific pain, good mood. Quite hungry, in fact!

He just feels very tired and has to get a lot of sleep and a few naps.

As I write this, he's grading papers on the sun porch and plans to go back to teaching tomorrow afternoon. His next chemo is the day after that (this Thursday).

Here is how big our thanks are for your caring and praying and thinking and beaming and wishing good things for him: (I had to google "biggest thing in the universe" to find this.)Our thanks are as big as a massive black hole, which, according to scientists at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics and the European Southern Observatory, Chile, is "equal to fifty billion suns; that's 100 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 kg, otherwise known as 'ridiculously stupidly big.' "

[The website actually said, "ridiculously stupidly big" even though you might've thought I said it, because it sounds like something I would say. AND it was the website that missed the comma between "ridiculously" and "stupidly" -- not moi.]

Ridiculous and stupid amounts of love and thanks to all,
Beth

  1. Dear Beth and Bill: Glad to hear that Bill is doing better and sorry to hear that he had to go through that rough spell. And we both knew the comma issue could never have been your fault. Speaking as a biologist(insert comma)scientists are absolutely comma careless. Love to all people and dogs. Mary

    I'm going to echo what Mary said--so glad you are feeling better and that you have weathered the first batch of drugs.

    I'm pretty much sure I wouldn't be ready to grade papers as early as Tuesday. You're tough, Bill, in all the good ways. And so are you Beth. Love to you both and lots of petting to the canines! Ken
