Update - March 9th

I have been pretty much pain free for the past few days, which is an amazing blessing. With all that has gone on recently, to have my body behave somewhat normally and predictably is really a relief.

I have really needed to take a break from focusing on my condition. I haven't really wanted to talk to anyone lately. I've been talking to my parents multiple times during the day and it gets to be a little much. So, I have been turning my phone off and if I do answer it, asking people if I can call them later. You can call this isolation if you want to. All of this interaction and focus on my illness is overwhelming, and I need to be by myself for a little while. This week I will be dealing with the biopsy and getting the surgery scheduled, so for this weekend I am taking time out.

I get it Ben. And so does Dad. Absolutely!
We're back from Palm Springs which turned out to be a wonderful getaway. Great weather, relaxing. We talked and talked, ate good food, I walked 4 miles, read an entire half of a novel and Dad got to play two golf courses and two rounds of golf.
Love you,
