This is an interesting development. We are in our new home. The Extreme Makeover is almost complete, just down to a few items and then tinkering. My 6th and final (for now) chemo cycle is on Friday. I have been feeling good, with just a little fatigue, but nothing that is changing my lifestyle much. I will be losing my Health Insurance at the end of the month, which seemed traumatic at first, but hopefully is worked out now. So how do you restart the normal? It seems like it has been a journey to this clinic or that, this treatment or that, and living in different places with different family members forever. Really it has only been a year and a half. And while I appreciate, really appreciate, all the family and friends that have stepped up and opened their homes, wallets, and hearts, it is so good to finally be home. I see it in my kids and my wife and I feel it in myself. I have learned so much since this began and I feel like it has prepared me for when the craziness settles down and we try to make a normal life again. As I thought about that today, it scares me a little that I don't know what to do. Good thing I have a wife and 2 kids that I can devote my time to. I love that we can focus on our family and our kids and let cancer move to the back of the bus for awhile. That doesn't mean that I can change my routine or forget about it, but it is nice to put the focus on family instead of disease again. I hope and pray that we continue to get news that keeps me at least at "stable". And I pray for those that don't get to hear that news. I feel peace today. That's good. I pray for peace for you today, too.
