It has been a whirlwind since we started back to school.  We are busy, busy, busy!!  I have started to sit down and blog a few times, but by the time I check my email, facebook, and couponing sites, I am too tired to think.  So this is my catch up blog post.  School is going really well.  The kids are involved in lots of activities this year....I guess we are making up for last year.   Dave had his first outing today.  He rode with me to take the kids to tutoring and tennis.  He is still moving slowly.  He has done really well, but the pain is still there and the recovery is slow.  He is still planning to try to get back to work next week.  This may be too soon....we will see.  I know he is ready to get back to normal.  The emotional turmoil has been as bad as the pain from the surgery.  He has (we have) spent the last year in the fight mode while  he was taking chemotherapy and radiation, and now when we should be relieved at the results of the surgery, there seems to be some sadness.  I say sadness for lack of a better word.  I think we have to continually remind ourselves what a miracle it was to even find the cancer as early as we did.  We need to be reminded what a miracle it was for the doctor to be able to get everything without taking anything else.  We need to constantly be thankful for all the miracles we have seen over the past year.  So that is where we are.  I'm sure there is so much more I need to write. I know that there is lots stuff that has happened this week that I need to write down so I can read it this time next year....but I am just too tired to write it tonight.  Maybe tomorrow.
