I'm glad that I got sick..

I've been home for a few days now from a business trip and got pretty sick yesterday. I felt like I was going to die. I'm sure it was minor case of food poisoning that got me. It made me think. Christina has been going through something like this FOR MONTHS! I rolled up into the fetal position and was trying to get in touch with Dr. Jack Kevorkian after just one day. Her? She's working, running and leading a very normal life. Except she has cancer. Fever, chills, stomach issues, nausea, body aches are an every day ordeal for her. The chemo drugs are leaving her system-it's been almost three weeks since her 16th and final treatment. Her eye brows are already growing back a little although the doctors have said that they are likely to fall out again. She's on the mend...

She is meeting with the head of oncology and her surgeon in a few hours to lay out the plan going forward. It won't be easy I am sure, but the little gal will be just fine. Me? I am glad that I got sick. I needed a little perspective going into the next phase of our journey together...
