JANUARY 13, 2014

This is my first day back to work after the holidays. It would be another day where I would have to tell my co workers and my supervisor that I had cancer and what that may mean for them. They were of course shocked by the news but very supportive. There was a new course starting on Jan 20 and I was going to teach come hell or high water. I wanted to be part of it, to teach, to interact with students. All the things I have grown to enjoy.
During this week, I had several medical appointments and had to have someone fill in for me. Through conversations with my co workers and more importantly my wife the idea of taking some time away from work for me. To relax.
