Alas, our Leading Lady spends most of her days either sleeping or hanging over - what has surely now become - a diamond studded platinum toilet bowl. Her trump is back. When Professor Martelli urges her to exercise, our Heroin’s tired response is simply: “I’m not very inspired right now…” I don’t think he appreciates her humor.
I continue sending text messages, two to three times a day. Mar rarely responds but that’s ok, I don’t expect her to. Nor is she in the mood to talk. That’s ok too. She’s forgiven and I’ll demand what is rightfully mine, my older sister’s undivided attention, when she’s 100% healthy again!
The Doctors estimate that some time next week, Mar can be discharged from the hospital. She can recover at the Chianelli Residence for a while before the next round of chemo and radio. She is literally counting down the days (to leave the hospital, not to the next treatment). She worries that her leave may be delayed depending on her physical condition.
My parents prepare her “home” coming the way they know best...FOOD. Mom even brought her blender from the Netherlands to make the healthiest vegetable soups or veloutes as she calls them.
I booked my flight to spend a long weekend with my family. I can't wait!
