Wait and See

This wait and see phase of the process is not the most interesting.

My main focus has been in getting back into the office.

The end of August through the begnning of October is the only period of the illness where I have not been able to work consistently, though I have still been able to contribute at key moments.

Last week saw a return to me going into the office regularly though I am not working full days.  It is a combination of food intake and residual tiredness from the treatment that is stopping me from doing so and it does not look like there will be any change from a "soft food" diet in the near future.  Soft foods are things like rice pudding, soups and shakes.

Getting back to work has been my main focus and I have not really done anything else.  I am yet to do the things that I have talked about like Chi Kung and getting on the decks, but I have been living in a zone where I feel comfortable and not extending myself too much.

I am pleased with my overall progress of recent but am also mindful that there is no guarantee of a positive outcome.  I am not being pessimistic when I say that, it is simply in my nature to look at the different angles of the process and plan for all possibilities.   I have some financial planning affairs to take care of over the next few days and that will ensure that the process of looking after my family in the event of the worst will be smooth and fully taken care of.   I know that is slightly macabre, but these things have to be done and I would rather that I didn't have to do them after the event of receiving bad news.  The matters in hand are matters that should be taken care of even if I was in perfect health anyway.

In the meantime there is room for a bit of frivolity this evening.
