Happy February
How is it that the month of January has already come and gone? It seems like it was only yesterday that we were celebrating New Years with my mother. I’m just saying!
You know, I seem to get on here every week and talk about how I feel fine and today is no different. I had a great workout today, in particular, I was able to run for a full 27 minutes (though, I had to break it up into a 24 minute run, a 3 minute walk — and breath — and then another 3 minute run). I’m excited that I am slowly working my way back to being able to run a full 5k.
As odd as it sounds, though, feeling “okay” is something of an enigma. You see, as I continue to feel okay, I start to think that I do not need to take my pancreatic enzymes (like I did yesterday). Guess what? I still need to take them (as my body is telling me today). I guess the upside of this is that my needing to take the enzymes has more to do (I presume) with the my Whipple surgery rather than the cancer itself.
Putting my daughter to bed this evening somewhat more sobering than normal. When she hopped into bed, the book she wanted me to read was, “When Dinosaurs Die” — it was a book about understanding death. It was hard to read to her, but luckily my daughter did not seem to connect the book with my cancer. Thank goodness for small favors.
More later!
