CANCER UPDATE Wow, what a long week. I'm going to try and go outside for awhile and work in the garden area. My mulch needs to be replaced, plus I just need some sense of normalcy. I've been far to inactive for so long. It's depressing me deeply. Rebecca has her rehab at 3 pm,

Rehabilitation We've added another day to Rebecca's Parkinson's Movement Therapy schedule. She's really been struggling as of recently. I'm 100% convinced her swift decline is STRESS based because of my cancer diagnosis. Looking back into my google time machine this was Rebecca

Cancer Update Last night while laying in bed Rebecca asked me, "What's wrong?" I responded with a simple, "why do you ask?" "You're not the same," she sadly said. "You ping pong between awful periods of manic behavior and hours of lethargic sadness." I didn't know what to say,
