These days there are three of us on the morning walk. Brenda’s posture and stamina has improved immeasurably over the last ten days. Despite her increased mobility there is still a lot to repair beneath the surface. Broken night’s sleep, depleted energy and a washing machine cycle of assorted churnings and associated tummy pains. The repeated taking of certain medications has side effects and it may still be a bit early to attempt to come off the Buprenorphine patches.
Lots of lovely visits (Mariana, Mila Avesh & Raff. Harry, ML, Cludsie, Annie and David Baird) and messages of support.
Brenda won't back down 
Dear Brenda,
I’ve only recently learned about your diagnosis. A short note to let you know you are in my thoughts. Please kick some butt, as you always do, and let me know if I can do anything for you. In the interim, I am sending you heartfelt waves of strength and health to soak up as and when.
With admiration and friendship,
Gwynne
