waiting

Lots of folks are wondering where we are with things these days.  In some ways the answer is that we are still waiting.  We are waiting on Mayo to fit us in for a second opinion and we are waiting to get back to Gundersen to see the oncologist there- after that second opinion.  But we are not waiting around...waiting.  We are focusing on healing in the many ways that are outside of what Mayo or Gundersen can offer.  We are resting, relaxing, creating, laughing, walking.  Andy is getting massage and acupuncture, we are studying diet, and cooking a lot, we are researching and reading and talking to cancer survivors.  We are snuggling the girls and comforting their fears and talking with friends and getting help when we need it.

 

Last weekend most of our plans fell through with the cold and snow that blew in and that was really just perfect.

 

We worked on projects old and new.  We roasted cauliflower and garlic and made warming chai tea.  I got an amazing Iris/Elsa spa treatment, we snuggled kittens by the fire, we read lots, we watched a really great movie (watch it with your kids!), we had dinner with friends.

That's really all there is right now.  One day at a time.  Focusing on healing and being well.
