Another Monday

I know it's been days since I've posted anything; once again, no news is good news. I feel fine, I'm eating and sleeping well, I'm working, and trying to catch up on all those things at home that I've neglected during the past week or so. Yes, my exciting life includes the rush of cleaning the shower! The suspense of balancing the checkbook! The conquering of the mountain of dirty laundry! Yes, it's just one thrilling moment after another. Be still my heart.

I had a CT scan today; it's time to look at the tumor in my lung and see if the chemo is affecting it. I guess I'll get the results sometime soon. I'll keep y'all posted. My general feeling is that the tumor is not growing; my throat doesn't hurt much these days. Of course, it could be that I'm so tired from the chemo that I don't notice!

I had a wonderful compliment the other day. A woman who works in my building let me share her elevator ride. In the few seconds it took to get from floor to floor, we exchanged pleasantries, and then she said something like, "I know it's not, but you make it look easy,". Talk about an ego boost! There are days when I feel like %$#@, and look it, and getting through some days is a genuine struggle. It's good to know that no one sees that part. Thank you, C.! You made my day!

And C. is just one of many who make my day on a regular basis. I am so grateful to have all of you right here, holding my hand and smoothing over the rough places. Thank you. And especially you, over there.  ¶ 6:42 PM
