And then watched it dance all over the surface helter skelter? No, me neither. But I heard it dances all over the skillet surface....Much like I do in any critical situation. I’m trying to remain calm, really I am!  And since I wrote the original post about Kevin’s cancer, I have had downright calm moments! Which lets me know that we are being prayed for, as well as sent positive energy and thoughts. Thank you to each of you who have sent your well wishes, good thoughts and prayers. We covet them all.

We had come to a point where Kevin made a decision about treatment, and then another doctor has him/us doubting that decision, and setting him up for yet another appointment with a different oncologist. The news once again turned me into a neurotic mess!  And it has left Kevin unsure of the next step. I know we just have to jump through all the hoops, and this will take some time. Time, and patience that both Kevin and I are of short supply right now. There just doesn’t seem to be a way to speed this along, and that’s the frustrating part.

We are ready for a break of thinking about cancer, and thinking about cancer treatments, and setting up doctors appointments. But that isn’t going to happen overnight.

We are getting the hell out of Dodge for a few days though. My father turns 60 tomorrow, and we’ll be hopping a plane on Thursday to go spend a long weekend with my parents. Although Washington weather is on my top 10 worst things to experience (at least 10 months out of the year) they have some positively wonderful restaurants and, of course, my family is there. A much needed break from life, and with family who loves us. OK, some of them might fake it, but that’s OK.

Thank you again for all your prayers and well wishes. They have meant a lot to both Kevin and me.

Love,
