Call these random thoughts by Tim
- I am back at Xerox. Wow- that's something. I had a conversation with my Doctor Gaynor and we were at a cross roads. Xerox required that a "check up" period was needed to confirm the status of my disability. That meant more medical from the doc. But I asked her, based on my condition now, and your history with guys at this stage of the disease, would you go back to work. She said she would think that it would be a good idea. And on Christmas Eve was my first day back. I can see what she meant. I was out of the house, and almost forced to do more. Forced to "exercise". My recliner in my basement got too comfortable. Xerox is changing my role, and I will have less responsibility than I had before. They are very interested in me coming back and staying back.
- People ask how I am feeling, and it will never be a 10 out of 10, but its above a 5 which is good. Because I am back to work doesn't mean life is good again. All it means is I am taking one step to help myself. If going back to Xerox doesn't pan out for the long run, I will use some time to volunteer somewhere. I am blessed with being at Xerox with a very generous disability policy.
- I am on the 2nd round of chemo and the 9th day removed. So I should feel pretty darn good for a while, and I can say that I do.
- Walking is still going to be a "adventure". While I can get around just fine, the longer walks I will need to skip. Possibly all the time in the basement, but I am thinking the cancer. I wish it was the basement.
- Jim, friend Scott, Deanna and I are going out for lunch. Food is good, especially when you don't have to cook it. This way we have the night for whatever, and if it means we take naps, we take naps. If it means we go do something, that's fine too. Far from the days of going to my Grandma Carlson's house with 40 people for dinner.
