Wednesday, September 2nd

The last couple of days have gone pretty well for me. My balance still needs some improvement and my legs are still weak, but I've been able to work 4 - 5 hours each day (with naps in between), and overall I'm feeling quite a bit better than I was a week ago -and I think even Carole would agree with that assessment. I'm sleeping better overnight which makes a huge difference.
Thanks to so many of you for the sympathies you've sent regarding my father's passing. I appreciate your thoughts and support during this stressful time. I'm fortunate to have two sisters and a brother who live close enough to my mother who are able spend time with her and help her through her grieving process. Additionally, I have another sister who lives in Peoria who can be there in four hours if needed. I guess there's something positive to be said for big, supportive families. I know I'm certainly happy to have Andy, Brian and Jeff calling, encouraging me and checking on me so frequently.
Lastly, welcome back Negebe. I missed you. Good to see you overcame your technological challenges, and I'm glad there's somebody else out there who can relate to some of the non-cancer things I'm facing with such great humor.

  1. Hi Paul! Thanks for the shout out! Yes, I am glad to be your buddy. Thanks, also for the spreadsheet you made for us teachers. The data is really helpful in that format. When we have a job that needs to be done, we know the man to call. Thanks!
