[GREN-Exec] greetings from TO

[Susan Koswan]

Hi GREN Exec,

 

Just wanted to let you know that I moved into my parents' place in Toronto
yesterday. My mother's lung cancer has metastasized to two areas in her
brain and my father's dementia has reached the point where he needs support.
Ah, the things we have to look forward to. 

 

Should get some idea of what kind of treatment my mother will get when we
meet with the oncologist a week today. We have a family camping trip planned
for the following week and I'm hoping my mother's sister in BC will be able
to stay with her then. 

 

But right now it's just an endless round of doctor's visits, tests, getting
results of tests, lawyer visit and social worker visit next week and
paperwork.

 

But I'm getting out for a few bike rides a day in my childhood neighbourhood
- rode to an old classmate's home tonight and had a nice visit. Even just
going to the grocery store  has become an exciting adventure - especially
with my dad in tow. He's actually pretty funny and much nicer than when I
was growing up. 8-)
