Back on the bike again!

Thanks to the great weather the past 2 days, we were able to get out on our tandem. It really feels great to feel good enough to get a few miles on before winter hits. We rode 2 short rides on the White Pine Trail - logging a whopping 35 miles. I know that doesn't sound like much to many of our friends, but I haven't been on the bike since the first of June. Unfortunately, it won't be long before the snow starts falling. We are definitely looking forward to next spring!

It has been 6 days since my last radiation. I am still feeling pretty burned. I think that this is going to be a long time healing. My underarm area has peeled and is quite raw at this point. I thank God that they stopped with 28 treatments instead of going for 33!

I have been trying to work my way back into working part time again. They installed a new computer system while I was off - Ugh! I feel so lost. My stamina isn't the best yet, so I am limiting myself to 3 hours at a time in the store. It doesn't take me long to feel really "brain dead". Now I know what all the complaining about the new system was all about. It is very labor intensive, but seems to have some good points. It is just a lot to learn.

Give thanks for all that God has done! He has really been there for us! We have never felt so blessed!

Last Radiation tomorrow!!!!!!!

I got great news today. My last radiation is tomorrow instead of next week, Wednesday. I don't know why they changed my therapy - but I am so glad to be almost done. I have an appointment with my radiation oncologist tomorrow, so I will find out then. Give me a week or so to recover from the burns and then I plan on doing major celebrating!!!!!

Attached are a couple of pictures of our new granddaughter. Both mom and baby are doing fine.

Len, Julie (our oldest daughter) and I volunteered at the DeVos Children's Hospital Halloween Party. We had a great time!
