Dennis went back to work this week , Grateful
Morning all ,
I just want you to know I have been getting to know some of you on this site since the DX Sept. 2 . I have come to learn many things in our lives are a journey best navigated with others and a spiritial compass . At 53 I have had a few of my own bumps as I am a recovered alcoholic 12 years and a worker bee with 32 years at my company with a most of the in managment. I call Managment jack of all trades master of none ( ha ) .
Dennis went back to work this last wednesday. He has had a few more things considered co-morbidities since we have been together . Dennis and his brother were unlucky in their youth to dabble in drugs and both share a badge for Hep-C . My husband had a gastric bypass in 2005 along with plastic surgery followed by a year of interferon ( just for fun ) to try and rid himself of Hep-C. Stupid Hep-C was gone for 6 months and then detected . Dennis has lost 125 lbs ,hikes , is a manufacturing manager for a printing company with a postive outlook . Ok , fast forward to now back to work , the grind and a much more normal life ( ahhhhhhh)
More test for Dennis - He is now scheduled for an obdominal scan , his colonoscopy and a liver viral load ( its been three years ) . Check this out , his insurance covers 100% other than a measly co-pay . Doc said the obdominal scan is to ensure everthing looks good since his dx for the kidney tumor was found when he was hospitalized for colitis and then said " looky here , we found ourselves a tumor !"
Its hard he is tired , he gets off work , takes a nap and is usally cheerful when I get home. Shit , I am tired just working lol .
Its the new normal , I am good with that .....
So today is tired , grateful with a dash of humor as I plan to be silly today just because.
Love you all , Gail
I noticed I am different with people at work , I really listen when some one say's some one is ill , sick or has cancer . I look intently and listen more carefully. The experience has made me better with others. At least for now , lol
