Long time... no post

Well here we are almost 2 months since my last post! It seems like parts of my life seem to be standing still while others are moving at the speed of light.

My Dad just had Chemo treatment #8... 4 more to go for this round of chemo. He is no longer working which is a mixed blessing. I think work kept his mind focused on other things and allowed him some time for himself to a point. Now he is home caring for my mom and the kids full time and it seems he looks more exhausted than before. He has developed slight neuropathy... and we hope it stays "slight" if it progresses any further chemo comes to a stand still.

My Mom just had another back surgery and goes in again tomorrow for another one. They have implanted electrical "shockers" in her back to help numb the nerve pain. I was surprised to hear my Mom actually admit they seem to be helping. She has really become dependent on other means of controlling pain, that I feared she would be too put off that some of those may lessen or come to a halt.

We had our annual family reunion over the 24th of July. It was fun to see so many members of my extended family.

One of my best friends just got engaged... I am so HAPPY FOR HER!!! She has met a super nice guy who treats her so good... I am excited.

I think that is a basic update of all that has been going on... I will "blog" more later...
