I have a CT scan on Aug 9th, blood work Aug 11, and then results Aug 25th. I hate waiting and i am trying to keep busy, but getting a clean bill of health Aug 25 will give me the green light to go back to work in Sept. To be honest, I can't wait. Part of this recovery period for me has been an attempt at self improvement. Here are the areas that I have been trying to improve...the letters beside each is the grade I am giving myself so far. One small step for gil, is well, still a small step I guess. I can't stop thinking about a quote from one of Lance Armstrong's doctors in his book. He was talking about how cancer doesn't pick and choose. "I see the same ornery people, get cured and go right back to their ornery lives"- That scares me. I don't want to see myself go back to my old life, not that I was a lying, cheating, piece of crap that was wallowing in a miserable state of life. In fact, I think life was good pre-cancer. But I think I want to come out of this experience, stronger, faster and new and improved. It is a slow slow process however, haha.

For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God. —Ephesians 2:8
It is good for me to draw near to God. —Psalm 73:28
I read these verses the other day and they reminded me that life is full of bumps along the way and my human/gut reaction is to deal with things, my way or alone. The last 6 months have taught me that no one does it alone, or at least it is a lot easier when you aren't alone.
