Seems I took that "unexamined life not worth living" idea rather seriously, haven't I? No matter, the rewards are infinite.

Aren't humans impressive? :) The pre-Californiafied word "AWESOME" applies. This experience has me in awe of human capacity.

Thank you, Lou. It is amazing. 83!!! So much courage, so much strength. I love that woman so much - to be her daughter is an honor.

Mom is coming out of that into reality. I think this is humanity's response to emotional trauma as well physical. It's both sad and joyous.

I have asked in the past if anyone had experienced losing a significant chunk of memory from illness or accident. I have ~ 18 blank months.

Through the act of caring for a husband and mother with significant conditions, I am being helped in my own challenges seeing their triumph.

It took a surgery and five months of chemo but my 83 year old mother is walking, talking and wholly herself again. It's stunning & humbling.

The human brain is a true marvel. Watching my mom come through brain cancer is close to literally mind-blowing. She is nearly 100% restored!
