Well, this morning I decided to experiment with exposure, light subject, and shadows. I was reading one of Ansel Adams books on photography and came across his advice to "expose for shadows, develop for light". And there was our Christmas Cactus blooming for Halloween!
For a scary subject: v has now been experiencing some spinal pain. It began just a few days ago. Another CT scan is being advised. We asked, well, I asked, how many CT scans can/should a person have in a year, or shall we just say in a six to twelve month period? We got what I am feeling is the standard physician reply: "When the exam is related to treatment then the benefits outweigh the risks". I just can't help wondering if another, unspoken, response is that under the circumstances (v's stage IV), if we're just being told it doesn't matter in the end?
OH! but there is an UPDATE on this condition:
He just got up (I generally post when he's still sleeping) and while we were discussing this particular pain he realized it has gone! Yesterday it was painful to touch. The doctor poked and pinched at it to v's visible discomfort. Today it's gone! I just kneaded every vertebrae in his spine and the pain is gone. Hmmmmm. We just got our Halloween treat! I'll close now on such glad tidings...Sometimes it just works out that way, eh?
In bocca al lupo. m & v
