It Goes.
Another week just rolled on by. Quickly. More Pittsburgh trips in the semi. Down to Pechin's and Nickman's on Friday in the snow. It's a little bit dangerous driving the eighteen wheeler in the snow. The Jake brake can cause the tractor wheels to slip. The foot brake can cause the trailer wheels to slide, leading to a jackknife situation. Riding south on 119/22/66 with thirty-thousand pounds of cargo was not as bad as riding back north with an empty trailer. Had a couple of dicey moments. It's all good.
My wife is facing the cancer now. Facing it like she has not faced it before. Now that the chemo is done it seems like there is nothing looming on the immediate horizon. She has been crying by herself. The events of the past year and a half have come home to hit her. Hard.
The younger baby girl is now thirteen. We will take her out for dinner tonight. Her choice.
It just goes on.

I guess your wife is one of those people who find it easier to deal with something when she has a course of action to follow. Now she has time to REALLY think about things and to wonder whether the disease is lurking and growing while she's "idle." I'd cry too. Still the break from the treatment routine is good for her psyche, and there's the benefit of not feeling extra crappy from chemo during the holidays.
How long is it before she learns how effective her treatments were? I hope they don't keep you waiting too long, and I pray they give you some really good news.
Happy Birthday to your baby, too, from another December baby! (mine is the 17th)
