And so we learn more and more about our new life. In reality we know very little about what we are facing. We know that the tumour is big and we know that the tumour is not along the edge of the skull – those are two strikes against us. This is reality, not something to attempt to bring the general morale down. I really appreciate all the people with well wishes. This is a very difficult time as we attempt to make some sense of all of this and the words of encouragement really help. Maureen and I read them and thank everyone for taking the time to write.
We went to Saltspring today with the family. The kids, as always, had a great time. This morning was challenging as the few days of hardcore fatigue were catching up with me by late afternoon. But by my nap around 2:30pm I was feeling a lot better. The kids and I went for a walk on the ferry in the fresh air and Maureen got a few minutes of peace time. By this evening I was feeling pretty good (considering).
I’m hoping to catch up on some sleep tonight and get back on a more regular schedule of my eight hours a night.
