This is Cathy Brown. Mairin and I saw Cathy yesterday. She was sitting in a raised wheelchair when I got there and she looked like she was an 8 foot tall, bald goddess. Her spirits are pretty good and she is fine with staying at the Devon Hospital as opposed to moving to one of the palliative care units in the city. It means she might be able to go home sometime on a weekend pass and it is a lot closer for John to visit than any of the other hospitals. She says the staff are very good and she has a window that she can see out of (which is not really something that happens in a lot of hospital rooms). I was so pleased to hear that she is not having pain. As Sandy wrote in her last post she is very tired though. She was on antibiotics last week as her while count (a cell in the blood that deals with infection) was unexplainably high. They were making her sick so she is feeling better now that she if off them. Cathy says the food is good there - imagine that!
