Today Emily spent her afternoon and evening attending to Lynn.
A little before noon, she went with Lynn to her round of treatments for the afternoon. First she sat patiently in the radiation waiting room; then a quick bite of late lunch at the Chick-fil-A, in the Erlanger lobby; then up to Dr. Schlabach's office for Herceptin, Lovenox, and a consultation. She read and napped a little.
This evening she made dinner for Lynn and Alan, and Valdis joined them. She had bought a Christmas tree the other day, so Valdis hauled it around to the back patio, and helped her put it into the stand and get it watered good. She's not going to bring it in to the house to shed pine needles all over everything until the grandkids get here to decorate it; but now it's up and just waiting.
The tree came with nylon netting around it, making it much easier to ship without damage. Emily, amazing Emily, said - "What should I do with this netting so that it doesn't end up...." She didn't even finish the sentence, but it was apparent, end up harming fish, or animals, or the environment. It took another few moments of conversation before she decided what to do. So there she stood tying knots about every 4 inches along this 8 or 10 feet of nylon netting - just second nature like composting, and recycling, and reusing.
