Another Workday

Drove to Jackson in the snow--yes, snow. And wind. It wasn't sticking on the road, or even trying to freeze and be slippery. I arrived without incident, and was about 8 minutes early in the parking lot (meaning I had about 8 minutes before I needed to leave the car), and was listening to the current audiobook to pass the time. And then.... Security pulls up to take me over!! Yay!! I thanked him, and told him I appreciate the ride. He said he tries to watch the lot for vehicles... I'm thinking, yes, shouldn't anyone in that position.

We had a good crew, and another busy workday. We didn't get lunch until after 1:30. We did get a morning break, but we were ready for lunch. The rest of the afternoon was busy; I did ok, but I got really fatigued about 5 o'clock. Not only my body, but my brain, too. The others helped me keep on track, but is that really how I want to function? I think that all I can do, is to keep doing my best.

My head is still not 100%. My pace isn't either. Maybe a little better, but not much.

I thank all of you for the hugs and kind words, and words of encouragement. I like hearing that you are a reader, and that you read frequently. It helps to know that you are "out there", supporting me. I didn't know what this road was about; the steps we take to reclaim our health. From the initial soreness and swelling, to diagnostics and confirmation. Surgery, surgery again, recovery, chemotherapy. A 10 day break, then radiation for 6 weeks. Recovery. Follow ups. So much we've been through, and so much yet to experience.

I am truly blessed.
