Sitting on hill sounds much more comfortable than in the middle of the crowd, especially in muggy Tel Aviv. <br /><br />As for being crazy, it's in a wonderful way that makes life more fun and colorful ;-)Shellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08444647725731481144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2782551808324372235.post-28582713345905835502010-07-12T22:11:18.798+03:002010-07-12T22:11:18.798+03:00Leah G -- Have a great vacation!

I'll see you when you get back!!<br /><br />IsraLuv -- I thought I wanted to sit up close, but another friend also mentioned how much she enjoyed sitting on top of the hill. I have decided that I don't really care where I sit as long as I can sit in a CHAIR!<br /><br />Jill -- Besides the time factor, and being tired after spending the day in the hospital, I'm not really worried about being treated on the same day as the opera. In Israel, the oncology day ward is closed on Fridays, so I do not really want to postpone treatment, 'cause that would mean postponing it by at least three days. Since this will only be my second dose of both Doxil and Herceptin, I do not want to delay treatment.<br /><br />Mikimi -- I love opera and loved that video clip. I actually posted it on my blog, but now I see that the post is not up. I'll have to fix that...<br /><br />Rinat -- thank you so much for visiting my blog!! how did you find it?? I look forward to hearing you sing Carmen in Tel Aviv!!<br /><br />Jennifer in MamaLand -- my mother is the one who was into opera. I will forever be grateful to her for passing on that appreciation to me! My dad likes opera too, but, when he goes, he always falls asleep in the middle! Interestingly, my in-laws are also into opera, but my husband is not.<br /><br />Bernie -- as long as I am not in pain, I will love Carmen, no matter how tired I am!!<br /><br />Baila -- it's a date!<br /><br />Batya -- I cannot be counted on to remind you. I suggest you write it in your calendar. That's what I do! Why are you taking your dad to AZ? Btw, my parents and brother live in Phoenix.<br /><br />Miriam -- thanks!! your comments always make me smile!!RivkA with a capital Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09411034058195730044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2782551808324372235.post-79214146832227577452010-07-12T07:11:31.709+03:002010-07-12T07:11:31.709+03:00I just caught up on the last month and a half or s...I just caught up on the last month and a half or so.<br />First - enjoy the opera. Sounds great!<br />disease progression - feh but, as you wrote, no surprise. I'm glad there are still drug options and I hope they're not too tough and that they keep this at bay.<br />your daughter's bat mitzvah and how amazing she was - Mazal TOV!!<br />the dress - troggezunt and enjoy!<br />I'm sure, like always, that I'm forgetting other things.
