sitting on the shady side of the stoop

matt and i also visited his mom's house in alexandria, nh this weekend. on saturday morning, we went for a short walk down the street to the methodist church in the village center, where he rested for a minute before we headed back to the house. matt is still dealing with fatigue, occasional stomach pain, and a whole lot of people heckling him to eat more. despite this, he looks and feels better than he has in quite a while. he has gained a few pounds, and depending on the time of day or the scale, he sometimes weighs more than 120 lbs. his oncologist decided to delay the start of chemo treatments until october, in order to give matt some more time to recover and bulk up. thanks for the suggestions of fatty foods and i'll let you know if anyone suggests something that matt is actually willing to try.
