Val Hamilton: Morning from hell
http://valhamilton.blogspot.com/2014/09/morning-from-hell.html
Tuesday, September 23, 2014. Lynne Keeling came in just as I got back into bed. Haven't seen her for years. We visited for a bit and then she did Therapeutic Touch. That, along with a hot blanket on my feet and another pain killer, calmed me down and I dozed the morning away. I had missed breakfast and just nibbled at lunch. The food isn't appetizing and is cold. Karen came in with her new plan. I'm starting Eribulin. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Amish Breakfast Casserole (Luallyn).

Val Hamilton: A Little Update
http://valhamilton.blogspot.com/2014/10/a-little-update.html
Wednesday, October 22, 2014. Hi Friends of Val,. It's Lori here, visiting Val, who is in a very deep slumber. We had agreed that I would come here today to update her facebook page.she would talk, and I would type! However, she is dreaming and definitely not talking right now. I visited last night, and she was really alert and very talkative. I thought she looked great, but I'm guessing it was not a good night, since she is exactly as I left her 20 hours ago. We got a chance to visit Val last week thanks...
