After an early start at 3:45 this morning, a broken airplane, and a wife slept well on the plane(s) thanks to a belly still occupied with the comforts of Mac N Cheese, we finally got back home this afternoon.
As you know, yesterday was a mess. If you had told me that i'd be happy returning home to complete two more cycles of chemo before yesterday, I would have been more upset than Victor Simon when According to Jim was taken off the air. The bottom line is that this trip, specifically, the 5 hrs that we were "misinformed" served as a strong reminder that I should absolutely be thankful, at all times that I am making the progress that I have made. Keeping that mindset when entering conversations like the one we did yesterday, certainly keeps things in perspective. Nothing like thinking that 12 weeks of chemo had been for nothing and that they would have to resort to a Plan B to try and get things turned around to escort your thoughts to the same place you were in October when you were first diagnosed.
So again, we are back home. Being back with Harper and the dogs is all the distraction Karen needed to stop getting on me about starting smoking this week. So i'm going to put the blog on pause until we return to New York in May. It was, after all, started to keep those we don't get to see everyday in the loop about the latest trends in my relationship with sarcoma. So, thanks for all of your continued love and support. It really has made this process so much more manageable. Just kiddin' about the smoking thing.
Until May,
Brian
