Back to Work!!

It's Tuesday now. Two days of work under my belt.

Neither were full days. Both were about 5-hours, arriving late but leaving early to make up for it. I think that's about the right length for a work day right now, though. I'm able to make it through my shortened day without too much problem but, by the time it's over, I'm pretty exhausted. Monday I slept ALMOST the full trip home with Emily as my Chauffeur.

I can't drive yet because of the pain meds. I'm making progress with them but not as fast as I'd like. But I've more than cut them in half from where I was three weeks ago. Probably down to about a third of where I was so we're getting there. Just not fast enough. I want to drive.

Caitlin, Emily and Jenny have been my Chauffeurs, though, so far. Tim also came along for the ride Monday morning with me and Caitlin so it's been a full family affair. Sophie even came with Emily when she was my driver.

No word from the Docs yet on dates for my Scans and follow-up visits. I tried to call them this morning but didn't have any luck finding someone to talk to and left voicemail that hasn't been returned.

Not much progress to report on eating, mouth pain or mucositis. Things are really moving slowly. Even when I think back to how things were last week I still don't see a lot of difference. Energy level is the area I've seemed to progress the most but, with two days of working all the sudden, it's hard to compare that fairly.

Again, I just have to be patient. That's just not my strong suit.
