We've had a very busy and hectic January. We have moved into our new home - something that should be exciting and gleeful. It is anything, but that. I had to be out of town for work for (2) weeks after being in the house a few days. Gone from Jim was excruciating...the day I landed back in Dallas, met him at the ER - he had a virus that took its toll. We received the PET results while in the hospital - not good; there is a tumor in his chest, his shoulder blade lesion went from a 3 to a 9 (not sure what that means, but it's not good) and a tumor pressing against his trachea, plus 3 compression fractures in his spine. We are to start chemo again on the 25th. We've been unpacking, but both irritable with the disorganization - at least that's what we say to each other...both really knowing the reasons for our irritability. Sorry to be so depressing, but that's how I feel right now.
