Among the living

This was an easy day -- one blood draw followed by a visit to the oncologist. My fingers still feel mashed, but it's getting better.

Last night, in a poignant moment, Oldest Daughter asked me, Mom, is there anyone who counts you in the land of the living?  I couldn't think of anyone, I keep getting hints that I'm on my way out.

Mom, do you count yourself as being in the land of the living? Yes.  Mom, I count you among the living.  You should be living and acting with the living, others can be with the dying.

So, that gave my a new burst of energy and I was up most of the day.
