Visiting

The old Victorian art of "visiting" is something of an anachronism today. We don't have the time, in our busy blackberry lives, to stop by for a visit. But yesterday I had visits from four wonderful friends (thanks, guys!!), and it really made the day special. So, not wanting to sound desperate, I am inviting anyone who would like to stop by for a visit. (Of course, don't expect tea and crumpets!) It's hard for me to go out, and it's just much easier to be in my own surroundings. I'm not asking for a long visit - just a half hour to say hello and chat. It's more personal than the phone and definitely more than an email. I'm starting to feel so isolated by my disease, and I don't want that to happen.

I know that doing this may easily become overwhelming, especially because I don't know how I'm going to react to the new chemo yet. But I will be honest and let you know if it needs to be postponed. So just send me an email and let me know what time might be good. I'm usually here during the day and evenings. It could be last-minute too: "I'm in the neighborhood, can I swing by?" That would be great.

Anyway, I wanted to share that with you because I think it's important to stay connected to you all, and not just through the blog.

I love you all.
