Today I went back to school to get some "catch up" work completed before the big "everyone comes back" day. Took 6 hours of computer and copy work but it is pretty much ready. Also ran over to the the Middle School to arrange that office and prepare for the sports physicals tomorrow. It felt good to get back into a routine type day. Lee started back in Eldon with band practices. Savana called me multiple times complaining of being bored here at home. She will come with me to help with check in tomorrow, I can almost always find something for her to help me with at school :0)
The next 2 weeks are not really contracted days at school, but several things just work better and allow me to get important information gathered if I am present. So I am kind of flowing in and out until the 12th which is my actual first required day back. All the kids start on the 18th.
Friday is a "labwork day" so I am running up to Columbia to get that drawn early in the morning. I have Dr appointments the following Wednesday, just followups and they will let me know how the cancer levels and thyroid hormone levels are running. I get to see the endocrinologist, Dr Kahn, who diagnosed me a year ago. I have not seen her as a patient since that day... We have ran into each other at survior/support group meetings but nowhere that we could sit down and just talk to each other. I really like her! She is so "in tune" with her patients and willing to let you vent. Surgeons are not known for their bedside manner and that is definitely true about my ENT surgeon. I always feel a little jittery on Dr appointment days. I don't want to think that I could need more treatments but the possibility is there. But I am feeling better everyday...so I anticipate that they will say "See you in 3 months!" That would be good news (yearly appointments are generally not allowed until several years of clean labwork)
