		<title>WOW for Dr. Niemtzow!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just back from my first treatment with Dr. Niemtzow, former radiation oncologist now acupuncture specialist who has devised a treatment for xeristomia (Lack of Saliva, in lay terms) AND IT WORKS! I can talk without my teeth sticking to my tongue and lips! I can swallow without a drink of water! I can dissolve breath [...]]]></description>

		<title>What we&#8217;ve been waiting for.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today another trip to Johns Hopkins. First an appointment with the speech therapist, who says the difficulties I&#8217;m experiencing with eating and dry mouth are all related to lack of saliva. All hope is not yet gone&#8211;there is an acupuncturist who used to work as an oncologist we will be in touch with, and time [...]]]></description>

		<title>Friday night and the end of a good week.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Cathy had a full week of work and got there on her own.  She was tired when she got home and took a 1-2 hour nap each evening. We have an incredible time at her birthday celebration on Sunday which I think buoyed us up through the rest of the week.
The weather is changing to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cathy&#8217;s friends (???)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Make her cry, and she made us cry. Her birthday/suvivor party at Ruth&#8217;s was the best in the world. Big girls/boys do cry.

		<title>The baby bird leaves the nest</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This past week has been really incredible.
Cathy has gotten up at 8 AM, fixed her breakfast and trotted off to work, all on her own.  The house has been unnaturally quiet and the dogs and I find ourselves napping quite a bit until Cathy comes home from work.  Then she takes a nap for about [...]]]></description>

		<title>One more for the road</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I went to work all the days the Gallery was open this week, for about four-hour days. It was alright, not too exhausting. So, the blog is probably winding down&#8230;On March 9 I get a pet scan to see whether the cancer is gone; it gets read and interpreted for me a week later. So [...]]]></description>

		<title>This could really be historic.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It keeps snowing and snowing. I can very happily use the &#8220;free&#8221; hours at work, since the government is closed, and there is plenty of time for napping while its white outside. The doggies thought they wanted to go for a walk, but soon decided a SHORT walk was plenty!

		<description><![CDATA[That&#8217;s what they call it when it lands on DC. Here are some snaps of what it looks like:
It is beautiful, and there is plenty of time to enjoy it because the Government is closed. So, we are snuggled in and healing.

		<title>I did it!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Beth drove me down to the National Gallery today for a four-hour stint. It wasn&#8217;t as hard as I thought it would be&#8230;in fact, it was a little anti-climatic. I&#8217;ve been through so much, enormous changes, and the workplace seems like a very smooth,unruffled pond that didn&#8217;t change at all, except for the construction and [...]]]></description>
