Hello out there in blogland! I am starting to write again, but it won't be everyday. I decided to allow the creative juices to begin flowing again. Things here have been a little nuts anyway, we have become embroiled in the "new Kitchen." The remodel is nearing completion, and I can hardly wait! This was a good project for us, as Scott did a majority of the work by himself. It gave him something to concentrate on, and something to keep his hands busy, while we wait for the 100th day! Tomorrow is the day that we travel to the city to have the extensive bloodwork and the bone marrow biopsy, and then wait a week. Yesterday he went to his regular oncologist, they run a routine CBC everytime he has any type of treatment, he had a Zometa treatment to help strengthen his bones. He is no longer Aneamic and he is within normal range for all of his parameters. I hope that is great news, and foreshadows what is to come tomorrow.
Scott's father helped with the kitchen, electric and the like. He also helped hang some of the cabinets this weekend.
Fortunately, or unfortunately, Scott went to work on Friday, and has continued to work through today, maybe for a while. He says that this work stuff is cramping his style. He sincerely wants to work, but I worry about his health while he isn't with me. I want him to work, we really could use the money, he could use the sanity, and I could use the time away from the 24/7 with him. I want to preserve every moment that I have and will have with him, it is all precious time to me.
I guess that is the lesson that I have learned from the past year, time and family those are the most important things in my life. It isn't all about money, power, what the world deems as success, it is about love. When I was afraid that I would loose Scott, forever, my whole workd changed. I thought about all of the hopes and dreams that we started out with, the family we were raising, and I cried: A WHOLE LOT. A few days later, I emerged from the insanity and vowed that we would fight this thing together, that I would never leave his side. It helped us both get through the hardest test of our lives.
Any advice that I can give to anyone out there, Never, Ever, give up, fight, try to get through any and all trials, positive thinking and vowing to be strong in the face of anything, will make you stronger, and closer to the people whom you love.
That's all for now, till next time.

Life is precious and we should never take things for granted. Sometimes we forget. Glad to hear Scott is doing well. Hope things continue well!!
Sounds like things have been going well. I understand how you feel about the work thing, but it is probably good for him.
I have been thinking of you.
