B) Day 198/197- reality slowly sets in.

After 2 days the reality of the situation seems to have settled in and I have started to accept my current "situation."We are relaxing at a hotel in Richmond Hills/ Markham - just north of Toronto.
 Following a filling breakfast at the Sheraton next door, we are awaiting the arrival of my daughter, Caitlin.
  The night was rather restless, the result of sleeping in an unfamiliar room with a defective thermostat- alternating between too hot and too cold. Pain from the stent wasn't helping and neither were the prescribed pain relievers so I ultimately resorted to a little CBD vapour and the rest of the night passed peacefully.

 9pm
   After today, I'm pretty sure I'll be OK with a hiatus from Chinese food for a while. All in all it was very good- Dim Sum for lunch and an assortment of Cantonese dishes for supper but I think that will hold me for a couple of weeks.
 Caitlin is here for the evening so we will have a few hours together before she heads back to Belleville. I brought her up to speed on my situation and she seemed OK with it, but it is sometimes hard to know what other people are thinking. Hell, its hard to know what I myself am thinking some days.

6pm Sunday
  Back in London after breakfast together and the usual obligatory trip to T&T. Susanna spent a half an hour poking through the dried veggie and herb section looking for all the "immune system stimulants." The problem with most of them is that whether or not they do anything, getting them to go down and stay down is the challenge. I declined her suggestions but she did insist on buying some pure ginseng tea. I'm not overly thrilled but I'll give it a try!
 Looks like Docie was quite a "Demanding Princess" while I was away. She ran to the door as soon as I got home and has been sticking fairly close ever since- spoiled rotten!- or dogs do have some kind of Sixth Sense that radars them into cancer detection.
 I plan to make this a lazy night, take out lemon chicken for supper along with some rice and a generous helping of Shanghai Bok Choi Miu. Hopefully with enough left over for lunch tomorrow.
Then an hour or two of Netflix- episodes 10 and 11 of The Borgias.
  Between that and Game of Thrones, all I can say is that this Chemo better work otherwise I may not make it all the way to the final series!!! LOL. Boy will that piss me off!!!!
