Hi All,
I stole the blog back... at least for tonight! First of all, I have no words to express how amazing the outpouring of love, support, prayers, and gifts has been. Thank you would never even come close in satisfying my feelings of gratitude toward each and every one of you. I have spent the majority of my days and nights in the den, which is covered with all of the cards, posters, and balloons that I have received. Yesterday, after getting a fresh head shaving (makes it easier to care for the incision), I reluctantly made the decision to stop at work. The time happened to coincide with our monthly Administrative Staff Meeting. In walking in with Sue, my 30 or so colleagues applauded and were very happy to see me. This type of experience is very uncomfortable for me. I prefer to fly under the radar rather than have all of that attention directed at me. Regardless, it was nice to see everyone. I didn't hear anyone say that the Music and Art Department has been cut, so it's all good! ;-) We made a stop the High School, where my office is located. After spending about 1/2 hour visiting with my Secretary, Christine, and the music staff, I began to feel exhausted and needed to leave. Following one additional stop, we came home. I ate some lunch and crashed on the couch for a nap. I definitely have the desire to be out and about during the day, but it's obvious that I have a long way to go in building my strength physically and mentally to get through the day.
Tomorrow will begin with my Oncology appointment at MSKCC in Commack. We expect the discussion will be centered around post-surgical treatment. Is the plan to begin Chemo-Therapy immediately? Will Dr. Nolan want to wait to see a future MRI scan first? Dr. Nolan has proven to be unpredictable at times with his treatment plan, so we will prepare ourselves with some questions.
Tomorrow, I'll write about a chance (or not) meeting with a gentleman at BJ's that I had today. God is always working in my life and this was quite an example.
