Update...

I am recovering very well and very quickly. I seem to be back to normal after a week, so I think that is pretty good. I am hoping to get back to training for the 3day soon. It has been too hot to even think about walking in Paso. I took Carina to the park this morning after we dropped Carra off at school, and we had to leave by 9:30 because it was already getting too hot to play on the equipment! Carra has adjusted to the First Grade pretty well. Her days are much longer of course, so she is really tired, but other than that she is doing great. I am enjoying my time with them as much as I can. I am supposed to start back to work on Oct. 1st. I must say that I am not looking forward to it. I really miss all of the gals I work with, and I couldn't have gotten through a lot of my days during chemo without them. But, I still don't want to go back. Most of it is because I love being with my girls so much, but another part of it is kind of like returning to the scene of the crime. I was at work when I walked over for my mammogram and ultrasound last October. When the radiologist told me he was 99% sure it was malignant, I left the ultrasound room and went back to my desk to call Rick and to await my biopsy. I will never forget that feeling and I am not sure I am going to be able to get past it so I can do my job every day and not think about it. The good news is they are remodeling the unit right now, so I will have a new desk (probably not a better one, but a new one!). Maybe the new look will help me overcome that obstacle. So, think of me on October 1st. I will probably be in tears as I head back to work. It will probably be a good thing to go back. Maybe it will help me feel like life is getting back to normal. What is normal, anyway?
