Steve has been doing pretty well. He still gets the shakes as well as the dizzy spells. He has good days and bad. He had an appointment last week with the speech pathologist. She did a swallowing test on him. It seems he does have a few spots where things get stuck in his throat and need some extra help being pushed through. The main problem is Steve cannot manipulate anything to get it to the back of his throat. He will continue his exercises and go back to see her in 2 weeks.
Meanwhile, our appointment with Dr. Grist (the oncologist) has been put off. He is out of town the week we were scheduled to get the new CT Scan and see him. So I am working on rescheduling that.
Hard to believe it has been 6 months since Steve's surgery. Sometimes that feels like so long ago. Other times it feels like yesterday. When I look back at the pictures I realize how far he has come. When I look at Steve, I realize we still have a good way to go too. It's an odd feeling. We try not to dwell or even think about what could happen in the future. No one every really knows what the future holds - do they? We just work with the day we have been given, making a few plans here and there for the week and/or weekend ahead. It keeps us focused on each other more, and helps us take advantage of the time we have for now.
Well, I've got to get to work. Remember - God is good...All the time!
