Cancer is a full time job!

I went to work today, mainly because I did not want to be home alone all day without any in-person adult interaction and distractions.    It has been nice to be out of the house, but I don't find myself getting much work done between calls to and from the hospital and various doctor's offices.   I guess the day has been productive from a personal perspective:

• Got my official schedule of events for this Wednesday's CT scan and bone scan.   I need to drink some stuff and get an injection and travel back and forth between the hospital and a building across the street.  I am now clear on where I need to be and when. 
• Set up a meeting with the Child Life Specialist at Morristown Memorial Hospital for next week to seek out some advice on how we talk to Raymond about what is going on.
• Scheduled an appointment for a second opinion with a surgeon at the Memoral Sloan-Kettering location in Basking Ridge, NJ, which will be next Thursday.
• Ordered copies of films, slides and reports from Morristown for the second opinion consult.
• Asked my friend Julie, a breast cancer survivor who went through surgery and started treatment about 18 months ago a bunch of the questions I wrote down for her over the weekend.
• Have not cried once (although I was close when telling a work friend about my diagnosis)

Overall, I am feeling okay emotionally and physically.  I started peeling off the bandages from the biospy over the weekend and the sites are still sore but I can comfortably sleep on my stomach again, which is nice.  My emotions are a minute by minute thing.  I am glad to be at work so I cannot focus on the bad thoughts.  I even can go a few minutes or an hour forgetting about the cancer.
