Jacqui started back
to work on March 18 – all the pieces fell into place and she didn’t have to
retrain – so she’s been back at it for almost 2 weeks. She’s so happy to be there, everyone welcomed
her back and she’s quickly getting into the swing of things. It’s taken a bit of getting used to being on
her feet again for long periods, but they are letting her take time in
different areas to get her used to everything again.
Last time I said that
her surgeon didn’t want her to have any CT scans in the next while to avoid alarm
at what may be “suspicious readings” as a result of her surgery, but her
Oncologist wants her to have one done so that he can get a baseline for future
consideration. This caused us a bit of
anxiety of course, but they are quite insistent and I guess we can always opt
to not hear the results. Either way,
she’s having it on Friday, April 5th and then goes for her regular
oncology appointments on April 22.
Those dates just come
way too fast.
In the meantime,
Peter and I are headed to Mexico.
One week on our own celebrating
our 30th anniversary and then the second week we will celebrate the
wedding of our nephew, Ryan to Holly with family and friends – so wonderful. People keep asking us if we’re getting
excited, but I can’t even imagine it – I just keep thinking something is going
to happen and we won’t be able to go. Having
said that, I am packed…
I feel like I’m
constantly having to work those hope and faith “muscles”, it’s amazing, no
matter how fit you try to keep them, they always ache just a little bit. Shouldn’t it get easier?
Jacqui is continuing
with her running and so the four of us are registered for the Mother’s Day Run
– 5K - so that’s something to look forward to! It just makes her so happy to be
able to run and that’s always my favorite way to spend Mother’s Day. Last year Ty graduated from university on
Mother’s Day, that wasn’t so bad either!
Anyways, just a bit
of news, life just keeps marching on,
and we're hanging on for dear life!
I
almost feel like myself sometimes.
