What's Next?
October 13, 2024 What's Next? In two days I return to work full time as a teacher. In 2024, I taught 3 full days...in January...and each landed me in the ER and/or hospital. Over the summer I got to work 2 long days during regents in the gap between chemo and surgery #2...leading to a strained foot at 18K steps. Now it's mid October. Cancer-Free, but with a high likelihood of recurrence. Fresh 10 inch scar down my abdomen from the organ removal and hot chemo bath that removed the remainder of the stage 4 cancer. Lower endurance, neuropathy that showed up post surgery, more limited flexibility. Hair from every pore... a strange side effect that leads to swimmers ear after every shower. A new rash, only visible if you look closely, that requires cream 2x a day yet I don't remember when I applied it last. A faith deepened as I rested in God's peace and a huge network of friends and church members prayed for me....
