And another thing

[mellicious]

I just got this e-mail from my mother:

I had that late appointment with the radiation doctor yesterday. i will start the treatments next and it goes until march 14th. they made a mask deal for me to use each time instead of the markins. I liked what this nurse (physicians assistant) saod. It was a small tumor. they to it early. they got the bulk of it. the radiation will not remove it entirely. it would put it to sleep. you should be able to live for many years like that. i told that was the most encouraging words anyone had said to me.

(My mother does know how to spell, incidentally - she just doesn't seem to believe too much in proofreading. I'm guessing that markins=markings, and your guess is as good as mine about the rest of it. What the PA said sounds pretty encouraging, anyway.)

I'm inclined to give someone with a tumor in her head a lot of leeway when it comes to proofreading. :)

Glad to hear the good news!

Yes, but I'm too much of an English major to be able to post something with that many spelling mistakes without commenting on it. The problem with proofreading precedes the tumor, anyway. (Oddly, especially considering that she has diminished use of her right hand right now, her spelling hasn't really gotten any worse.)

Hooray for encouraging news!
