Tamara makes her Case!"Dear Aunt Judy, I saw in one of your blogs you can hardly find a reason to get up in the morning. I am into sheep now (no, not in the kinky way!). Why don't you and Paul let me live with the lambies in your extra bedroom? That will get you going! Tamara PS I found this great cartoon that made me think of you!"
"My Dear, Dear Tamara, My...aren't you pretty these days? Love the hair! Love the glasses! The matching hair beret ain't bad either. Did you puff up your lips? I did my research. Given that your lambies will use my Verandah Shangri-La as a perch and my altheas below cannot tolerate their droppings I will have to pass on your lovely offer. In fact, the mental image of the sheep poopies compels me to thank you for your delightful cartoon. L & K's, Aunt Judy"
WHAT NEXT??!

NB: Medical update....Dr. Muldoon told me yesterday that my CA-125 (http://ovariancancer.jhmi.edu/ca125qa.cfm) continues to move downward and is now at 37. Normal ranges are approximately 0 - 35. As you may recall this is a blood marker than can detect about 80% of ovarian cancers in more advanced stages. Mine seems to be one of those types of ovarian cancer. CA-125 level can be measured in sequentially over time during a chemotherapy treatment to assess the value of the treatment. My levels have continue to go down and are very near normal. When I complete treatment I will have the CA-125 levels regularly done. If they were to suddenly progress upwards this would be a strong indicator that my cancer was no longer in remission. Also, I began to feel surprisingly strong and alert in just one week or so from my last treatment which is an amazingly fast rebound for me.
I think my last chemotherapy treatment will occur sometime around:
January 7th 2009!

Dear Aunt Judy,
I think Tamara may have foisted an older photograph off on you.
The last time I saw TJ, this Thanksgiving past, she was sporting pince-nez and a quite daring ear trumpet. Her lips were hanging (definitely puffless) and I saw only wisps of hair needing nary a beret.

Mz. Judy,
I work here in Washington DC with Tamara. At our last luncheon Tamara's ear trumpet was buzzing and vibrating very vigorously. We girls came up with a theory that it is not really a hearing aid. We surmise your neice uses it in other ways during her frequent powder room breaks.

yeah i work with her too. your neice is kinda high-strunk. probably she need both the lambies and the vibrating trumpet to calm herself down katie
