Thanks to Ana Lisa de Jong, dear poet friend,
whose recent poem ‘Topiary’ gave me a

Author’s note: The physical therapist
working with Cathey is the best. Very
professional, highly skilled, and a
great motivator, with excellent rapport
with the patient. We are so grateful for
his presence. Oh, and yes, I did the
pedicure and nail polish.
