This is Anj. 

The initial doctor’s appointment is this Friday. We still won’t get the answers we want or a solidified game plan. Chris has kept up his humor and strength, but the constant rain really stinks. We can’t get out and walk to burn off the negative energy. We’ve both been sleeping a lot as a way to cope with the stress.

As someone who rarely takes time off, I’m taking Friday off so that I can spend the time cleaning house while Chris is visiting the oncologist. I feel I need to get things in order before he is laid up; it’s my way of taking control of the situation.
