It has been almost a year since I posted the Heart Series, and a year since Jim was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Since writing we have shifted into a lovely sunny 3 bedroom apartment with a nice view, and over the road there is an open paddock which is well stocked with various birds, and people walking their dogs.
Amazingly Jim has his appetite back and has gained 10 kgs (he had gone down to 44 kgs) and is eating and sleeping well. His energy level is very low . . . . but he has no pain and pretty well is living a "normal" life. This change in health has the doctors' puzzled - and I don't really know how to explain what has happened in his body. So we accept the present situation and thank God for the extension of life on this wonderful earth.
Thank you for reading! I have been doing a little painting and shall post some pictures shortly.
