Whirlwind

Life has been pretty hectic since I've been home. It seems like I cannot sit still -- everytime I do I feel like I'm back in California and virtually alone. In my defense, there has been a lot going on. Corlissa's car broke down three times. I came home to a very messy apartment. Finally, we're moving into a bigger apartment. A huge thanks to all my heavy-lifting coaches!

I wanted to take a moment to give everyone a little update. It seems like the question of the hour is "So...what happens now?" Well... basically we wait. Radiation stays in works in one's system for up to a year. I did not have any scans while I was in California to determine whether or not the radiation was shriking this tumor. In fact, I am not scheduled to have any scans for another 6 weeks. I will post more about that as we gain information.

My understanding is that you only undergo radiation once. I am not scheduled for any further treatments, however, there was some discussion or surgery if the tumor were to shrink significantly. Basically, we know absolutely nothing at this point. Sorry:(

I am scheduled to return to school on Monday. Monday and Tuesday are teacher days the kids come for a full day on Wednesday. I cannot stand the thought of sitting at home, but I am definitely not back to my old self and nervous about whether or not I can handle a full day with kids. I am also scheduled to take classes two nights a week this fall, but for the sake of my energy and bank account, I think I am going to have to drop those.

Forgive me for being so delinquent in posting!
