It's getting to be a lot like christmas ! This year the christmas tree at New York's Rockefeller Centre will use 30,000 energy efficient LED lights strung on five miles of wire. Apparently the bulbs will save as much electricity per day as a single family in a 2,000-square-foot home uses in a month. The tree itself was cut down by handsaw to minimize pollution and at the end of the holiday season, the tree will be made into lumber to be used by Habitat for Humanity .Mum has always enjoyed christmas . In particular , she quite likes the idea (if not the reality) of our snowy Ontario winters . We've done some christmas shopping today and we wrote and delivered some christmas cards to the some of the staff and volunteers and volunteers at Roswell . I think they really enjoy a hand written card , it reminds them that they do some very special work with cancer patients and their families.
In terms of her health, mum had a great early christmas present. She had a clean bill of health from Dr O'Conner . Apparently her latest hemoglobin count of 15.6 is unheard of at the clinic . Nobody has results that good ! Her other results are excellent too. The CA27-29 is 4.6 and her CEA is 1.7 .
Good to know too that today was mums last appointment of the year. She's not due to come back to the hospital until January 7th and with a trip to Mexico to look forward to, she's pretty happy right now .
