Appearances can be decieiving.  Chris looks great.  He’s lost weight, he has color in his cheeks, and he seems healthy.  Seems is the identifier.  Just looking at Chris, he looks healthy and nothing seems wrong. 

He still tires easily. He doesn’t have the strength he had before surgery and it will be a long recovery road ahead.  Chris is trying to get his strength back, but it takes time.  We’ve been blessed with awesome friends who have helped out with errands, donations, meals, etc.  For that we are blessed.  We’ve had to say no to some activities due to the $$ or the time – I’m working two jobs to keep the finances in check, so don’t be offended if we decline your invitations to dinner, movies, etc. 

From my perspective, TIME IS MONEY.  I am picking up overtime at work, performing parties, and managing the budget.  It gets tiring.
