Scheduling

Layne went into another Wellness Appointment this morning. He goes in for more tests on Friday and to see the oncologist. Throughout the week he will also fit in a couple of days where he'll head into work for a few hours each time. He put in some hours last week and it ended up being longer than originally planned. I'm a bit worried about that part. The agreed upon eight hours will end up being ten or fifteen. Like I said before...we'll see how it goes.
It seems like it's just more to fit into the schedule. We also talked this morning about what we're going to do with the kids to help them be active. So, we're going to fit in some of those things around when Layne will be gone for work. We've gotten used to having him here. So, now it feels a bit like we're scheduling around his work schedule.

Current Goals

The past week has brought a couple of new goals to light. Layne has been keeping in touch with fellow employees at work. He's thinking about returning for a few hours a week. We'll see how it goes.
He's also working with the guy he does his 'wellness appointments' with to start running again. I'm sure they're not talking a marathon any time soon...but, Layne would like to attempt to actually get some running in again - eventually.
It seems odd to be working on goals that seem to work toward a future. We have been attempting to make sure we're prepared for Layne to be gone - but, to have plans that include him being around for a least a little bit is a slight shift for us. It's not a complaint. It's just realizing...again...that there's always a reason we're adjusting to a new normal.

Chilly

Layne went golfing this morning. He has been cold ever since. It's only mid-October. I'm not ready for him to be cold yet. This is the guy that used to think about whether to wear pants or shorts to work on a day like today. It's a little chilly - but, not cold. A beautiful autumn day actually.
About the golf - they went to a place not too far away. I was glad a friend from work contacted him about it. I'm glad he 'works' with great people. He has some true friends from there who are just good people.

Most Recent Results

The results from yesterday were about the same as they were last time we went. We were glad there was no growth. Well, there was a small amount of change, but there has to be a 20% change in order to count. So, we're still hoping that what is working will continue to do so.
