Yesterday was a good day Jan asked me to drop off some papers at her school. What a surprise this was to me I had the opportunity of meeting staff, teachers and other administrators. Jan works with some truly great people who have been a real support to both of us. I came home and spent the rest of the day just sleeping, something I do real well at.

Another day, I was looking forward to some sunshine and wanted to spend a little time outside with my mask. Oh well we do need the moisture and it will give me a chance to catch up on some reading. With this being Monday Jan was off to work and the silence is driving me nuts I do miss Jan hardy laugh it always puts a smile on my face. I went to the white board we have and wrote “Don’t ask what your husband can do for you!  Ask what you can do for your husband.” Jan response was just what I was hoping for she had a good laugh.

I tried to help Jan with the domestic chores outside wearing my mask. Oh how soon I found out that I cannot keep up with her and I wear out so fast. I was not even able to make it a full hour. What I am going to do and how long will it take me to fully recover if that is at all possible. Jan is such a sweet heart she never complains and just does everything I can’t I feel so bad about her doing all she does. Jan has an excellent attitude and brings so much to the table in our marriage.

Yesterday was a good day I am getting a little bit stronger each day and before I know it I will be back to work. Then one year left to work and I will retire. Hard to think it has been almost a year since I was diagnosed and started treatment as a stage for cancer patient. This has been a most interesting journey and how blessed I am to live in a day of modern medicine.

Yesterday was a good day with the doctor she had no idea what might be the cause of what appears to be an infection. She did provide me with medication that I am taking four times a day in hopes that it will chance the course of my life. I am so thankful for modern medicine it can help. I want to do more and be outside more but that is not happening since I am so vulnerable with a weak immune system.

Today I see my cancer doctor and hope she can find a solution for my stomach issues. This will be a great relief and will give me peace of mind. It is hard to believe that it has been almost a year since I found out I had cancer. I have been working very hard this past week to gain strength however Jan, can still toss me around like a rag doll. I bet if I gain the 48 pounds I lost and just rest she would have a much harder time. Well I have no desire to gain the weight again. I hope I have a good report for tomorrow.

Tomorrow I get to go back to the doctor I have been having some issues for over three weeks and sure hope there is a remedy for the situation I have. I am still very thankful for the extension of life that I have and for the medical teams at the Huntsman Cancer Hospital. I don’t know what I would have done without family and friends they have been the glue that has kept me going.
