2012-05-12 Chinese herb and pillow for Bart

5/12/2012 - As stated in previous posts, 3 years ago, Bart's fibrosarcoma has increased in size progressively and the level of concern had elevated in the mind of each member of this house.

3 years ago today (5/12/2009), Ball and Fatty have given an expensive type of Chinese herb for Bart to try.  It's called "winter worm, summer grass" (its official name is something like cordyceps sinensis or caterpillar fungus).  Several weeks prior to that, they have also given her some flaxseed oil mixed with cottage cheese, but Bart did not like that a whole lot.

Bart seemed to like this expensive Chinese herb, but at $800/tael, we were not sure if it would help feeding the cancerous tumor or it would help reducing its size (highly doubt it.)  So we did not feed too much of it to Bart.

Ball and Fatty have also bought and installed an extra sofa Sealy pillow for Bart between the "upper level" of the sofa and the window.  Such an arrangement would alleviate the pressure on Bart's tumor when she wanted to lie on the sofa.

Earlier today, I was sunbathing by myself.  Whenever Ball or Fatty is home, they would open up the blind and let the sunlight get into the house from the west side.  Gotta love it.
