The Waking
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
I feel my fate in what I cannot fear.
I learn by going where I cannot go.
We think by feeling. What is there to know?
I hear my being dance from ear to ear.
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
Of those so close beside me, which are you?
God bless the Ground! I shall walk softly there,
And learn by going where I have to go.
Light takes the Tree, but who can tell us how?
The lowly worm climbs up a winding stair;
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
Great Nature has another thing to do
To you and me; so take the lively air,
And, lovely, learn by going where to go.
This shaking keeps me steady. I should know.
What falls away is always. And is near.
I wake to sleep, and take my waking slow.
I learn by going where I have to go.
--Theodore Roethke

Finale
Today was my last treatment. I don't go back to see Dr. Spigel until Jan. 6!! Isn't that great!! The four-hour Rituxan infusion went really well. I have an appointment with Dr. Burkey next week - Monday, Dec. 2. I think he'll be pleased with the progress with the wound and lymphedema. Then Dec. 30 I'll have CT and PET scans which I believe will show that all the cancer is gone. Mother and I went to lunch at Sister's, and then I went to Debbie's for MLD. She said she could tell a big difference in the place where the skin layers died. It's much smaller now and is almost level instead of deep like it was. The layers have built up and healed really well.
I went to Kroger last night and bought the turkey I'm baking to take to Mother's Thursday. I'll cook it tomorrow but haven't decided which method or recipe to use. Any suggestion?
It's time for some comments from you again! OK? :-)
