Afternoon Vistis TOO!

 After Sachiko and Mark left for their distinct destinations, we got new visitors.


Andrew Kinkella  and Marcia Burtt arrive around the same time, and Mike had had a rest since his first round in the early afternoon, and this was the next set!  


The room seems to accommodate the visitors and everyone who comes is so pleased to see Mike so attentive and involved.  

The big event is the book; all who enter are excited to see Mike's preprint we made of his book, Santa Barbara's Ancient Past.  Marcia is the one who said, after her last visit, that this is what I should do, and it has been important -- Mike can see the layout, read the pages, and is now getting feedback.

Andrew says he just finished his Chumash class, and this book will be incorporated when he next teaches it!  We know it will be a major addition to the literature and represents Mike's great experience.

    Mike,
    I don't know much about this blog thing or where this comment may be going, but I want to wish you the best and sorry I can't be there at the moment. Congrats on the book, I look forward to reading it! No one could have written that volume better than you!

    Perhaps I never said this, Mike, you were a great influence on me and my career, despite never having been a student at UCSB! Without having the myriad of opportunities in Santa Barbara, my career would never have developed. I much appreciate those Lumumba#1
    .

    Best wishes,
    Marcel

Our Last Day Together

Image
 This day began with suspense.  We did not knwo when the potion would be ready, as it is a mixture with many strictly controlled components.  The Palliative Care nurse, Rebecca, of the cancer center said she would call to get a more precise time.  Mike and I were having our last breakfast when she called to say it would be ready before 2pm.   I worked hard not to whimper, sollozar in Spanish.  Mike sees me as strong and capable and I should not cry.  It is so hard.   Between Mike's rests and my reading, we talked about our travels and experiences together that Maria could gather in some of our adventures in SE Alaska, Mexico, Ireland, Lebanon, Rome, and at home and on the islands.  He finally asked for silence, the very poem of Pablo Neruda that I feel is part of our lives. At 1:30, I got the pharmacy call.  From that point, the tension rose.  I drove to get the potion and back after 2.  At 2:15 he took his first pills to ...

At the Journeys End

Mike has been calm and valiant over the past year and a half. He has followed the protocols, yet his cancer escaped its bounds. As we transitioned to Hospice, he was able to appreciate each day. He read the morning comics, took walks, collected the mail, read the Irish Times, and responded to email. He was also working on profiles for El Pilar, a great help. Mike and Anabel are Checking out Details This past week, he found it very difficult to get up; he was weak, his walking was unsteady, and his ability on the computer faltered. He could not walk down our long driveway to get the mail, and he found he could not work on my profiles.   I had imagined that we would go on in a simple mode, and his health would slowly change.  This past week showed that it was not in the cards. Even so, he was involved in the lovely dinner, wishing Ceci and Donna a fine return. Jonathan, his brother and Cathy his wife and son JD came up for the Saturday lunch, and he was outside on the pat...

The Background....

The Background....   Mike was diagnosed with bladder cancer on his birthday, May 2nd of last year. We had been planning a camping trip in our wonderful VW Vanagon and had got it all ready to go when this news came. This certainly changed our plans.  There were 2 surgeries in anticipation of 8.5 weeks of radiation and chemotherapy that initiated in September and completed in mid-October. Overlapping the treatments were trips to ER and most initiated hospitalizations. On one occasion, he was in ICU for 4 days. This was rough.  There had been more ER and hospitalizations than months since his treatments. The infections and sepsis, bleeding bladder all have made us frequent visitors to ER, familiar with the team there and on the hospital floor. Both Mike and I are grateful to the staff and have been reassured that we are not abusing the system.  Most recently, Mike was in for a major infection for 5 days, and we got out for only a week and a half. Mike went back to ...
