Kind of went M.I.A. after we received Luke’s remission news. Big things started happening literally within minutes of leaving his appointment. I’ll be sharing everything soon, but for fear of tempting fate I’m keeping it close to the vest for now.
Luke has returned to work at about half his workload as before his cancer diagnosis. It’s been an adjustment for all of us, but he’s happy to be back at it. The first days back left him weak in the knees (literally…he fell out of the cab after parking at the end of the day.🤣) Otherwise he’s only been battling ongoing neuropathy. If you followed along on his Caring Bridge then you know it was a side effect from the chemo, and even got so bad that his oncologist cut his dose in half for fear of long term effects. Only time will tell if the neuropathy will improve.
As February winds down I find myself prepping for a busy spring. Spring is always busy for us because all three kids have their birthdays, we have our anniversary, and it’s musical and dance recital season! On top of all of that is the added chaos of *thing that cannot yet be shared.* Mix in prom, father/daughter dance, church group, dance camp, and work and we’ve officially entered “Mom’s anxiety is astronomical” territory.
One thing is certain, and that’s if we are going to be this busy the weather better warm up because I literally CANNOT take the cold. Each year it seems, especially since I lost 80+ lbs, my cold intolerance gets worse and worse. I am perfectly content staying in my house under a heated blanket, so if I’m gonna need to do all of these *social* activities, outside of my house, I’m going to need it to be, at the very least, a solid 55°……….and sunny.☀️
Signing off for now – maybe I’ll be back in a week, maybe it’ll be a month. For now I’m going to enjoy a quiet house and continue binging The Pitt. 📺
