Feelin Fine

Sunday - June 7th

It's been well over a month since my last entry. I'm feeling well ... so well in fact, that at times I forget that I had a battle with cancer last Fall and Winter. But reality settles in as soon as I use my stomach muscles or drink something.

I can now eat about anything I want, my energy level is good, and I've started exercise again. Neo is behaving, although it still feels like I'm house training a puppy rather than working with a CD adult dog.

The garden and landscaping occupy much of my free time at home. The clear sunny days have meant that the corn, beans, squash, along with the vegies in our raised beds have germinated. Of course the weeds are going gangbusters, too. I wish there were an easy way to keep the crows from pulling up the corn & beans shoots - short of blasting them, of course.

I had a fun project for Mother's Day; built a copper pipe & wood arbor (photo above). It's on one of the pathways on the garden on the North side of the house (photo above).

Working full time is going well and we've had some big incidents to deal with. I'm looking forward to getting clearance from my doc to return to full duties. This should happen by early July.

So, as you can tell, I'm back to a pretty much normal life style. I'll go in for a checkup every six months. This will involve a CT Scan to make identify that I'm cancer free (fingers crossed). My next appointment will be sometime in October.

Hope to see you at work, at a celebration, or on the trail sometime soon!
