The start of another week. This one begins with the continuation of highs and lows. I suppose that is just life. It's just that the highs and lows seem to be on opposite ends of the spectrum. First Jensen was diagnosed with cancer, then we received word that the lab made a mistake. And we celebrated!
Then I was in communication with my brother and found out he had been in communication with our dad. A very nice high and how do you do! But then he let me know the details, as best as he knew them, about my stepfathers health and prognosis. He also let me know our mother's worst fears have come to pass. It seems as if some test results are indicating Alzheimer's. She never wanted to find herself in the same position as her mother. So, next weekend I'm heading to Colorado. Both with joy and a heavy heart.
And as I return home from work, another twist. Ken is not as bad as my brother anticipated. So the long and short of it is I am staying home this weekend. Another bittersweet turn of events. I am very grateful Ken prognosis is better than my brother anticipated. But I must admit I was looking forward to seeing my mom and making the drive with Noah. I'll take the good with thanksgiving and delve into the disappointment with the wonder if it is time to make that drive, and make it with my son.
On a lighter note I did begin my second week of Couch to 5K. Whoever said it gets easier, I don't believe them yet.
