It's getting better but it's getting worse. I'm not really sure exactly what to think. My mood swings are worsening but Julie's dealing with it very well. My stomach problems are getting better. I don't find myself staring off into space for no apparent reason anymore. At least not as often.
I'm starting to come to grips with the whole cancer thing I think.
However I still can't let go of Grandpa. This is apparent in my dreams. And when I have a "Grandpa dream" I'm a bitch all day. I had one last night.
Per my doctor's instructions I will be contacting my company's EAP today and go from there.

Before-During-After
You'll recall from the Andrew 4 Life site that I had a before / during treatment picture of Andy. I've now made it a before / during / after.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!

Andy's MRI and Hearing Test
On 6/17 we'll be taking Andy to Glennon for an MRI and hearing test. Hopefully this is the last hearing test. This should be his last MRI for a while too.
Hopefully he will be able to get his port removed and be taken off the Bactrim, which is the last of the meds.
Even though we know his cancer is gone this is still a bit unnerving. What if they find something? You know...
Anyway we're almost out of the woods here. One last little hurdle to get past.
Stay tuned!

Spheksophobia Season is Here!
Yes, spheksophobia. It's the fear of wasps. Actually it's the fear of stinging insects. Ever since I was stung in the head by a wasp at age 10 I've had spheksophobia. When I see anything with a stinger be it a wasp, hornet, or even a honeybee, I run. I need to get away from the thing. In fact there are a few days throughout the spring and summer where these insects are out in full force. I don't even go outside on these days.
Sure, make fun of me for it. Everyone else does. This adds to the anxiety knowing that I'll be ridiculed for it, which in the end exacerbates the problem.
I know it's an irrational fear, as is my fear of heights and my fear of water. That's why it's a full-blown phobia, not just a fear.
I've heard that there are shrinks who can help one fix phobias in one session. Maybe it will be worth forking over the dough for an hour or 2 to get rid of this fear and the ridicule that goes along with it.
Oh well. Back to my work. Happy Monday everyone.

We Won!
Our table came in first place by a half a point. Go us!
So then we came back here and hung out. I finally passed out on the couch somewhere between 12 and 1. Julie said they were up past 3. Ouch!
