The cancer was found in early February. Dad has renal cell carcinoma which has infilitrated his bones. Last Sunday he had a spontaneous fracture of his femur. His surgery was Tuesday and he has post op delirium which the medical team has tried to dismiss as pre-existing dementia. The truth is he had no pre-existing dementia.
This all hit in the middle of kitchen renovation. For the first time in my life I have a kitchen appliance new enough that it warrants reading the owning manual. Nevertheless we have spent the better part of a month which seems like years eating off of a camp stove; there is a cookbook called Vegan Unplugged that I recommend to anyone in this situation. Eating has revolved around can goods and whatever can be made with boiling water--- can we say instant grits, minute rice and couscous? New kitchen should be functional in a week or two which means it will probably be three.
Looking back I am amazed at how time passes and every time I update this journal I tell myself I am going to start updating it more regularly. We will see.
