Meg's sister visited us for a few days last week: her son was visiting a possible university to attend next fall. He flew home, and Caryn stayed on for a few days. She enjoyed visiting with Meg, and they got to play their recorders together two evenings. Caryn noted a problem of flying with them: the recorders caused much consternation at security and were pronounced "evil-looking" by one security guard.
More music came our way last weekend, when Keith Cheng (former lab colleague) was in town and entertained us on the piano, kindly supplied by Gerry Smith, Andrew's boss, who supplied lunch to go with the concert.
Meg was very tired after her sister had left - we initially thought it was the result of trying to keep up with Caryn, who's always very energetic. However Meg's continued very tired, very sensitive to the cold, and very lacking in appetite. We're not terribly worried (recall the lack of visible tumor) but something odd is going on, perhaps a reaction to her anti-seizure medication. We hope that the physician's assistant can hope sort things out during Meg's visit on Friday.
Despite all the fatigue, Meg is soldiering on (my own Energizer Bunny) and continues to walk to and from the Hutch most days, where she's back at work 80% time.

I remember flying with my e-flat clarinet to clarinet ensemble convention a few years ago and the security guard shouting out "whose instrument is this" and, after replying that it was mine, he sternly asked "what the heck happened to it, it's too small." All goes to show that there are still a few musically-inclined screeners out there with a sense of humor, but I'd guess that Caryn's experience is more common these days.
ReplyDeleteHope you get the tiredness sorted out. As always, let us know if we can help.
