Well, it has been a little over a month since the surgery and we thought we would give everyone an update. Since we have been back at home, I have been trying to rest and train my body how to work again. It has been difficult at times, but I have had a lot of support from everyone around me. I am thankful for all of the support from friends, family, and neighbors who have helped our family. We couldn't have done it without your help. I am not having a lot of pain now, but I don't have a lot of energy.
My family has been so helpful and understanding. Today, Rachelle and Kaylee had to go get something at the school. As they were walking, Kaylee saw a dandelion that had turned all white and puffy. Rachelle told her to make a wish. She didn't even hesitate, and she said, "I wish for daddy to feel better." My kids have been so understanding. I don't get to interact with them like I used to, but we try to find activities that aren't too physically demanding to do together.
I have been working from home a little and try to get in to the office as much as I can. So far this week, I have been in to work every day, even if it is just for a few hours each day. I am grateful for an amazing boss and coworkers who have been patient with my recovery and covered for me when I am not feeling well enough to fulfill my responsibilities.
We have an appointment in two weeks in Salt Lake for blood tests and follow-up on the surgery. We anticipate the tests turning out fine. The next big step will be in about 2 more months when we do another scan to see if there is any cancer that they missed, or anything that came back. Until then, I will keep working to recover and get stronger.
Thanks again for all of the love and support.
