Kathleen Reynolds saw a lot of things while she was touring all over the worlds. Yes, she saw a lot of parties, but she also saw less enjoyable things out there. What exactly she saw and where she saw it tends to change based on which story she is telling, but she got an eyeful of some of the colonial shenanigans going on out on the rim of human expansion. No major government admits the scope of the competition that waged for the outer colonies back then. They certainly never call it a war, but Katy says it was a war. They conducted it out beyond the core colonies where most people never saw or heard of it, but Katy traveled far enough from Earth in her quest to see everything in living color. And that changed her world. It changed her. It changed what she needed to do with the life the Peloran gave her.

The Peloran saved Kathleen Reynolds’ life with their advanced medical treatments, and Katy was suitably happy with the change in her future fortunes. She graduated from school, whether it is high school or college tends to shift depending on which story she’s telling at the moment, and then cast herself out into the worlds. All of them. She spent the next five decades of a life she never expected to have traveling everywhere she could. Camelot. New New York. Disney Planet. You name it, she probably went there. She wanted to do and see everything there was to do and see, and she gave it a real go. She has said more than once that she would have been happy to keep partying like that for the rest of her very long life. But sometimes we change life, and sometimes life changes us. She is most certainly an example of that.

Cancer

Mom’s cancer fight continued this week with the last of her rounds of radiation. They ended on Thursday, mom rang the bell, and we walked out of the Mayo Clinic to take her back home. She’s been suffering from some side effects, whether of the cancer or the treatments. Muscle pain and difficulty standing up this week. Ironically, that’s another possible side effect of Keytruda, which she took last week. The question is if the side effects are coming from that or the cancer. Or the radiation. Or the other drugs. But she did walk in and out of the house every day this week. She is better today than yesterday, and better yesterday than the day before. She is taking her pills on her own once more. That alone is an improvement. It’s the little steps that really matter in stuff like this.

Kathleen Reynolds grew up in a world where people still questioned whether or not there was alien life out there. She grew up in a world where she was dying of a condition no medicine could cure. Then the Peloran made Contact and changed everything. They brought new medicines with them, and Katy jumped at the chance to see if they would work. She was one of the first to volunteer for the full round of Peloran Treatments, and she got the very best results from them. Not only did they cure the condition that was going to kill her soon, but they also cured ALL of conditions that would ever have killed her in time. She stopped aging. Her body froze in that middle stage between girl and woman, where the roundness of youth mixes with the curves of age. She was going to remain twenty, or maybe eighteen, for the rest of her life. Oh, did she ever take advantage of that.

Kathleen Reynolds was a blonde bombshell of a cheerleader from an Iowa farm town when she was young. She had flower and butterfly tattoos all over her body, and the round curves of a girl just beginning to mature into a woman. She was still in high school, you see. Maybe first year of college. Her stories from back then are a little fluid on time frames, probably to protect the guilty. She was living life to the fullest, and proving to everyone that blondes really did have more fun. She traveled all over Earth and beyond, from Mercury to Pluto. She was on a mission to see and do everything she could. She loves to tell the stories of her wild youth to everyone. But she told me the why. She had a condition that Earth’s most advanced medicines had no cure for. She was literally living like she was dying, because she knew tomorrow would never come and she wanted to leave no regrets behind when the time came.
