    First, Dave is doing terrific.  He's still very fatigued and now about 40 pounds overweight (from 50).  He works more than 40 hours a week and so I don't give a hard time about it, but as the weather has gotten nicer he has joined me on some 2-5 mile walks and its a start.  We both put on pounds through this process, and at 50+ it is hard to get them off.  But you know me, any forward progress no matter how small…

    Dave got another good report on our check up in Little Rock.  But for his particular cancer and his presentation, we don't expect any problems.  Our true test will come a couple of years down the road on the worrying and fretting part.

It feels wonderful, a sense of relief, and even a bit of guilt – thinking about those who haven’t made it or most likely won’t and even feeling guilty about cancer patients with “other” cancers who are having a hard time of it. One of my favorite posts on the old WhatNow? site was when "AllPeachy" posted a blog…

    We had a low key, lovely Christmas Day!  Just putzing around and cooking after we opened our gifts.  

    The children and Dave all got a handmade heart for me to wear on a necklace that belonged to my my mother that I wear everyday.  I was very happy.  I had found it in Kentucky, made by John Leeds, using a particular Agate stone found in Kentucky.  Its much prettier in person.  Anyway, I had fallen in love with it after years…
