Friday, 3/3 - Back at the computer.

Thank you for all the wonderful notes, stories, e-mails, visits and cards. I am literally overwhelmed. I haven’t kept up with the blog these past few days because I didn’t even know where to begin.

I never knew that by sharing my experience with cancer would touch so many other lives. Maybe I’m kind of a thick headed dolt at times. Not seeing the forest for the trees, as they say.

All the love I’ve seen these past few months is amazing. It overshadows the disease. The pain and suffering is not as sharp as it could have been. It continues to help me deal with what might be coming down the path.

I’ve saved every e-mail I’ve gotten from y’all. I reread them often. I can’t reply to all, and I feel bad about that. I want you to know that I am reading them and taking their strength.

In health news
My hospital bed is wonderfully comfortable. They have an air mattress on the the top which makes me feel like I’m floating.
All my meals continue to go through the feeding tube. No problems there.
Weakness continues to be a problem, but that’s part of it all.
I’m too weak to climb stairs, so its good to have the bed on the first floor.

Overall, I’m stable.

Time for rest.
