New Year, New Adventures

We awoke to a beautiful white snow covered morning.  Snow needed shoveled but would Mom help???  Nooooooooo.  She just sat in her Lazyboy (there's a reason they're called that) and watched as Dad and I plowed through the fluffy white stuff.  Some nerve!
Actually, I did ask her if she'd like to go outside and build a snowman with me, but she declined.  How am I supposed to keep this woman active if she won't do something that simple?  Any ideas?????
She's been cold lately (losing 15 pounds doesn't help in the heat retention category).  Guess the snow was a little too cold for her-that and the cold air.  I told her we could dress her up like Randy from "The Christmas Story".  She just laughed.
Mom's sense of humor is still good-which is amazing considering she lives with Dad!  Between him and Fox news I'm beginning to lose my sanity----think that's actually her problem?  Just saying.....
The doctor's office called today.  Tomorrow at 10:00 am we go in to get all the information and schedule for the chemotherapy.  She will take her "spit" test so we can determine if this is hereditary.  Only 8% of all cases are. ( Let's see-her mom had breast cancer-she has ovarian cancer---what do you bet we are the 8%?)
Thursday will be her first shot of chemotherapy.  She will also get the new drug "Avistan" for which she is in a case study.  She'll get a triple whammy of drugs.  We are going to have a family fast for the occasion.  Any who would like to join us in our fasting and prayers, we'd appreciate cha.  We'll be having our fast this Saturday to Sunday.
Thanks for your concern-we appreciate all your love and prayers.
