Back To Work

Ken returned to work today. He's working with a guy who has been recovering from an injury and understands what it feels like to get back in the routine. They got done what they needed to do, and Ken came home tired but happy. He looked like his old, working self when he came through the door.

There was more good news for Ken. The doctor's office called with the rest of the results from last week's lab work. No sign of liver disease. The ultrasound scheduled for next week will, if all goes well, show no abnormalities with his liver and gall bladder, and the bouncing numbers can be chalked up to his body's response to the pneumonia.

Sigh of relief. It's not that we thought he had liver disease. It just feels so good to have it confirmed that he doesn't.

We are lucky, we know it, and we are grateful.

Ah, glad to hear it. It must be hard enough with your own struggles but when you're watching a spouse struggle too...tough. Gratitude is definitely balm for the spirit in times like these.
