Settling In

We are getting used to our new reality. We can talk about "it" without crying or avoiding each others eye contact.

Today Wayne had a great day. He wanted to work, he climbed the stairs to help me with the kids during the time of night all us parents know as the "witching hour," we sat at the table tonight happily eating hummus and chit chatting about stuff.

We are settling in.

We've got another week or two before his heart surgery, and then all of April will be about recovering, more chemo, recovering, more chemo ...

So, I'm trying to think of fun things that we can do, that wouldn't take too much out of him. Maybe a trip to the mountains?

It was windy all weekend, so we didn't get pictures taken like I had hoped. However, I am feeling like pulling out the camera, so look for pictures soon (blogs without pictures can be so boring - maybe you would all like to see Wayne's rotation of pajama pants?)

He had another appt today (every MWF) to check his coumadin levels (blood thinner) and everything is looking good. Wayne was researching nutrition today - trying to come up with things that will help his immune system. I offered organic fruit smoothies (thinking of you, Paula), but he is jumping into the wheatgrass arena.

He just walked in, and I said I was blogging, and he said, "it just feels good to feel normal."

Couldn't have said it better.
