Although Marty has been experiencing less frequent distressing symptoms, for which we are thankful, he continues to have some really bad days, for which we have no explanation. In other words, the predictability of his difficult times remains mysterious and challenging to fathom. His energy for daily life is somewhat improved, and his color is better, excepting the days when he looks like death warmed over and has to just go to bed with a hot water bottle. On the bad days, he can't work or really function much at all. On relatively good days, he can almost seem like his old energetic self.
This past Wednesday (our day off together every week), he was feeling a bit poorly, but since it was a glorious Spring day, I insisted we go to a local beach to soak up the light and warmth and scents from Puget Sound. We enjoyed a lovely walk on the beach there, and also visited our community P Patch to attend to our garden. These outdoor adventures, as well as an evening walk to a local park, seemed to renew him. Of course, he needed a nap mid-day to be able to manage all this "activity"!
Tomorrow, we celebrate 16 happy years of being married, with a plan for dinner at our favorite local restaurant, Stumbling Goat. Fingers crossed that Marty will feel up to a meal out, to eating good food, and to celebrating our marriage!
