[Steppes] Hello from Martha/Muireann

[Martha A. Compton]

To all my friends,

I want to thank you all and let you know how much I value and am blessed
by your care and concern.  The calls, visits, flowers, cards, candy,
stuffed animals and assistance in my home have meant so much.  I would
not have made it this far without you and the love and support given me.

I am feeling stronger and improving, sometimes having not so good and
then much better days, looking forward to the future and being in it
with all of you.  I still tire easily, but the naps needed to recover
are getting shorter.  The cats have set up a day/night shift to look
after me, but Judy sleeps on the couch for most of hers.  (However I
have no doubt, that if needed she would immediately spring into
action!)  Lola, on the other hand follows me about and stays close to me
during her night shift.

I start Chemo on Monday next week.  It will be 3 days a week every two
weeks for six months.  This means that I will be finished in time for
Steppes Warlord.  (Who is autocrating?  Do you need any help?  ;)  )  I
will be out of work for a while longer.  When I do go back, the Doctors
have said that I will be able to work 1/2 days for a bit and then
gradually add on hours.  Days I do chemo will be another matter
altogether.  We will see.

I may have been slowed down, but I am not going to be stopped by this.

Again, I thank everyone for your support and care.  I feel blessed that
I have all of you in my life.

Love,
Martha/Muireann
