We are approaching the end of Sarah's first "post treatment" year, she is due for an MRI in 2 weeks. I have been doing a lot of reminiscing, so much has happened this year that I am thankful for. Sarah is at school finishing her first semester at Ramapo College; doing well and looking forward to enjoying summer and all of the activities she could not do last summer! She participated in Relay for Life and raised a lot of money, this was a very positive and empowering experience for her. Sarah has made some good friends at school, and is looking forward to living with them in the fall. I am so proud of her, and thankful for her continued good health. I am pretty certain that the MRI's will continue at 3 month intervals for at least the next year, Sarah is not thrilled by the prospect, but I welcome the reassurance that all is still going well.
In the mean time, tomorrow I will be putting my nurse's uniform back on to take care of Zen after he has hand surgery, again! This is the third time he has to have hand surgery, this time it is to remove a tumor in one of his fingers. The surgeon is confident that it will be benign, I hope he is right! Poor Zen has been looking forward to this golf season, since he did not get to play very often last year. Almost forgot to mention that along with the hand issue, he also has a torn muscle in his leg and is on crutches! Hopefully he will have a very speedy recovery, and be back on the golf course and in the kitchen cooking soon, for all of our sakes.
Wish us both, patient and nurse, good luck tomorrow, we will need it!
