Marty is enjoying a lovely visit with his dear mother in Chicago, and is feeling pretty well! He needs a hot water bottle on his tummy at night to diminish cramping, but this is easily accomplished. Hoping for easy travel home for him with no delays and also minimal discomforts for Marty.
Carmella and I will be eagerly awaiting his return, of course, and have home and food prepared to welcome him.

Rough week, then travel
Marty had a challenging week with return of intense intestinal cramping and nausea. This meant missing work and remaining in bed for several days. He looked and felt washed out and weary. There is very little that I or anyone can do for him when his condition deteriorates in this way. All that helps is sleep, preferably with a hot water bottle on his abdomen. Carmella the cat keeps him company in her fat feline fashion.
This morning, Marty got up at 4am to make his flight to Chicago, where he will visit with his mother. (Since my mother here in Seattle is very ill, I could not go along with him.) In any case, Marty got to the airport and found that his flight was cancelled, which meant he had to wait hours at the airport. This was very hard for him as he was not feeling in any way back to full steam. He is really frustrated with his physical limitations for any travel ease, and of course, even in good health, air travel is difficult currently.
Once he gets to Chicago, I am hoping he can rest a bit and enjoy precious time with his 94 year old dear mother. I will report as things go along!

Report on Marty's Birthday
Thank you to everyone who called and/or emailed birthday wishes to Marty!
He had a not so great day in terms of physical comfort, but he did enjoy birthday cupcakes, baked by his kind co-worker Serena, and worked the day without too much distress.
After work, I met Marty at our local favorite restaurant, Stumbling Goat, where the owners had his seasonal blood orange drink awaiting his arrival. We both enjoyed a very delicious meal, and walked home with the crescent moon watching us from the western skies.
Unfortunately, he paid for our meal by being ill much of the night. This is how life goes for us lately. Enjoyment of food is followed by cramping, nausea and vomiting. Still, he has been sick much less often since we have had the cannabis option.
Marty slept in a bit this morning, and seems weary but better today.

Marty's birthday
Marty has a birthday tomorrow, March 6. Please send him emails and voice mails and many happy wishes.
I will be taking him out for dinner at our local favorite place, Stumbling Goat, for a meal that he can hopefully enjoy to some degree.
Marty has had a run of pretty good days. We have been able to sleep at night and he has been able to work by day without excessive discomfort. As always, we hope for the best and adjust to the worst.
