I love how that Yiddish saying has become attributed to Lennon. A lot of quotes go that way. hee hee

You know I know a bit about chemo, although every patient's body chemistry is different. It surely does make one exhausted to varying degrees. I hope she's able to rest and sleep and someone is taking care of her needs-- cooking, etc. I was mostly alone (and also younger) and I coped, but there were times I just slept and didn't take good care of myself because I was too exhausted. Just feeding the cats was hard enough.

You're in my thoughts. I hope your mom does well overall.
