a new week begins - kids at home after a hectic weekend (jared in canada, marlee at bff bat mitzvah, andi out on the town) and all return to school tomorrow following five days off ...
we too have had a 'busy' weekend, with many friends popping in to say hello and give jane a hug. it is so lovely staying connected - gives one a sense of normalcy.
we lumber on, enjoying the gorgeous day ... i even take jane for a drive, and we cruise along the highway looking at the past-peak foliage (no deep metaphor implied).
today it seems as if we are at a turning point. the dramatic surgery is over, we are 'digesting' cancer, and the patient is on the mend.
yet tonight we pass into the next phase. what happens now? what do we do to ensure that jane stays healthy? we are in limbo - past the point of the initial euphoria following successful surgery, but not armed with all of the information that will set us on the 'course' towards full recovery.
can we really ever do all that needs to be done to 'dodge the cancer bullet'? what will be necessary? redundant? damaging? lacking in vision? we will see this week, as reports come back, information is assessed, oncologists are interviewed, web sites perused.
today tells us that there's lots to be done, a path to be chosen, a big responsibility.
but for now, onward ho with the healing, the recuperation, the forced 'r & r' ... the order of the day ...
